For the Presbyterian Banner and Advoeate. The Atonement. NO. VI. BENEFITS OF THE • ATONEMENT NOT DE SIGNED •NOR ALL, CONTINUED. 5. Again : The saving benefits of Christ's death were not designed. alike' for all men, for the reason that.all have not heard of the benefits thus provided. Can any intelligent man really believe that the Father and the Son; from all eternity, 'designed the sav i ng benefits of Christie death for all men alike, and yet never give them information of the fact that he- died-for• them at all 7 It is no answer to 01'1 diffiohity to say that this arises from the .Apathy Church. This may ;be admitted Without, re lieving the objector; for: "all power in Heaven and'on Earth" in the Church-and out of it, is lodged In the hands'of the -Al might Redeemer ; be is "made head over all things to the Church a., he .kr,is . Anvested by the 1, Father preine iecintrol* , ocierethe 441Rd6 btiniverektp of rfiatteirM mation, and of mind;''lkitli, spe'Cial rererence to the Benefit of' tile Church. So;that thirgrinfOrAergiqri'conldie if such had been hispurposei laavemakedup the energies of a slumbering Church, to transmit this important information to all the nations; and certainly, would haVe done so,. if he had died, designing by his death to save them all. Instead of this,' untold mil. lions- of the rape have gone ' and are still go ing, down to the tomb and the judgment, uneheered by a solitary ray from the Sun of Righteousness, or a single offer of pardon and salvation. According to this view of , the subject, infinite love and wisdom are thus presented to the intelligent universe as having purposed and 'provided salvatien, at infinite cost, for every, individual of the race, and yet,' after the lapse of nearly six thousand years not more than a one-third of the race has ever heard the joyful pews I As having "found a ransom" for enslaved millions grinding in the prison house of sin and , Satan, and yet as not "proclaiming lib- erty to those captives," or " the 'opening of the prison.doors to theta° who 'are bound !" As having furnished :a "Great Supper," a most magnificent and costly feast, for ,un-, numbered millions of every age; without even having sent them an invitation to par take of it I As having done, by infinite odds, the greater part of the work of their salvation by dying to redeem them, and yet failing to perform the smaller part of in forming them of the design of his death, and app7ying, by'his Spirit, the purchased Redemption. Is , all this credible? and ,yet these inferences flow manifestly and irresisti bly from the premises. But some may `reply, (as some have re plied,) the heathen are in a safe condition without the Gospel, and of course the Saviour did thqn no harm in not informing them of his great and glorious Redemption; to which I reply, that if this be true, then the following corollaries or inferences arein evitable, viz : (1st:) It would be unspeakable cruelty to send them the Gospel at all, or make any, even the most remote attempt, to evangelize the heathen P as the Gospel will certainly cc (lesion, if it,mps not cause, (as in every land where the Gospel is published) the eternal perdition of vast irnultitudes of , the race. The salvation of all the heathen being sure without the Gospel', illy endanger the sal: cation of any by sending them the Gospel 7 Every: foreign missionary: should be instant ly recalled, , every station broken up, and all the Bibles, religious tracts and publications burnt to , ashes, if the heathen Are safe with out the Gospel. Every dollar, of, course, contributed for Foreign Miseions t lis worse than wasted. (2nd.) If the heathen are safe without the Gospel, our blessed Lord, however be nevolent his intentions, seems to have made a most unfortunate mistake when he com missioned the'disciples to "go into all .the world and' preaoh the Gospel to every orea tura," inasmuch as the fulfillment of this commission can but result in the eternal damnation of countless millions of the race! Paul, too, the most illustrious foreign mis sionary the world ever saw; with a heart all on fire with love to the Saviour and the souls of men ; borne upon the wings of the most glowing benevolence from city to city, and from , country to country, blowing the Gospel trumpet with almost seraphic energy and zeal,,deierves, after all, no higher repu taller: than that of an amiable, well-mean ing, but most misguided enthusiast, the ten dencies and results of whose labors among the Gentiles were fraught with 'boundless mischief to the souls of men. The same may be affirmed of every foreign missionary from that day to the present. 6. If Jew Christ designed, by his death, to benefit all men alike, how comes it that he Saidd`no. x*: 15, «I lay down my life for the she6p I" I am aware, it has been said, Christ did not intend,hy thin: remark,. to express the least linzitation in the design of his death, else he would have said, ".Y lay down my life-.'ONLY.` - for the sheep." But seriously, can any candid, unprejudiced, intelligent man ,really imagine, that in using this' expression, the Saviour did notintend to express peculiar regard for " the sheep?" Had he forgotten the obvious distinction: tween the sheep and,: the goats ? Or are those terms employed synonymously for des igniite the same- alass of persona ? "If, in the very auntie sense, • he, laid, dein his iife for all manitiod ; inclidiog the ;goats :,with the aheep, why, say, , " for the sheep," ...in. Pertieular? What sense would there be in making a distinction where there no dif ference? , The disciples might have ,resPond ed,Ais 1 , 8 DO peculiar: mark of,,loVeto 'since you lay down your life, in the same sense,:for all , mankind. Besides, thow, on the ,principle opposed, can, phriat, ;who, : thel Apostle Bays, "is the Saviour,:of '4ll :wen," ITC one l i mos, bey t e ,Siviari,lnpeiliefft of,' Ile is the Saviour- of all men; ithere is oh viously no particularity in the salvation of belleVers. While, in some sense, then, Christ May be justly said to have died for , the : entire race, it cannot be truly affirmed, he died to procure thein eternal ‘salvationr and- yet thierfil :the very peculiarity which,' marks the 'oreSign of 'his death " for the siteep,", and for "those that helieve." ' Besides, the sheep for whom Christ .died . , are marked—by—certaii-traits--of-character Which do not apply •to the whole •world ; thus Jno. x: 14, "1 know_, mysheep and ariknown of mine." This knowledgeman ifestly. includes love-and affection, as may be deeninveribis , paspages having reference to. Chia{ and his people '; but such' language could, npt..be truly uttered, of the, whole world. Moreover,,-Christ says of his sheep, :Tno. xxvii iB, " My.sheep ,hear my voice, , and I know them, and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall' never perish; neither shall any pluck them out of xriy,bandf, they are, here ,discribed as those Who shall certainly and infallibly be• saved. But this certainly'- cannot be truly affirmed of the whole world. Again, the, very term" sheep," implies a description of pernons who truly believe.; this clear from the:Saviour's remark to those. who rejected his person and Gospel, inverse , 26, "Ye be lieve not because ye are not of my sheeP." Again, ass': 32, 33,'sheep is the'terre i used to represent believers, who are pined on the right-hand of the judge, in contraditp • Unction from the term goats, used to repre , sent the wicked who are set upon the left hand. Now, can any candid, intelligent mind,really believe that Christ died : for, the sheep and: the goats precisely; with the same design,? And that,- too,- when he expressly declars of the goats that he " never knew theni ;" as his children, with the knowledge % of affection. Hi, of _conree, knee , them well, as his enemies, opposed. to' his Government and grace. : Jeans Christ could not have '- designed, by his, vicariate .sufferings and death,.to save 'all, mankind; because he is said to have died for the Church. Now, the term Church, in the Bible, , and in com mon parlance, means generally the opposite of the world; i. e.; •the Chttrch and the world .divide the rape, arid, are: nearly . eye- Maymbris-with"thetrighteoueiark&thestriekeds. I knew, indeed; the term Church some_ times , ipelftdee uiconverted'veritons; but, in all , casee, in ; y4hieh'Chriat is sitid, to 'give, him sellxfor, or die:forthe Church,' it e44aiop posed:to the -world, for which, with a de 'Sign to save,- he rieithendied nor prayed. , But' what saith the Scripture'hereY Christ is called v: 23;)' the Head of the °birch," and the Church is called . the "body" of which he is "the Saviour," verse 23, latter clause. In verse 24, the Church'• is said to be " subject unto Christ," which cannot be affirmed of the World ;in verse 25, Christ is said afao to. have'" loved.:. the Church and gave hiinself for it;"' and why " That he might (verses 26 and 27,) aerially and' cleanse it, with the'*ashing water. by : the, ;word; That he might; Present it to- 'himself a glorious . Church, not.- having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."' How absurd the idea that Christ gave himself to accomplish for_ the world what he is here said to have done for the. Church ! And if he did, how sadly has he been disappointed I The term Chula', in: all these quotations, as well as many others, must mean that Chirch' which is elsewhere called "the Spouse of Christ," wedded to him by the bonds of a living faith,' and by his death, certainly and eternally saved. The`death of •Christ, moreover, is the Rook (Matt. xvi: 18,) on which he "builds` his %nub, -against, which .the , gates of bell shall not prevail;" which can be true only of those who' are 'finally saved. Such; too, alone can " be the Church of God," Which he hath ,"purchased with his own bleed," Acts k : 23. Again, Christ says, (Jno. xv : 13,) " Greater love -hath•no man •than this, that 'a man lay down .his life. for-his• friends." 'Frielids is the name on those for whom "Christ died ; and Who, as Brush, are the objects, of his ;highest love. Nor can it be reasonably objected There- that what is tittle said,about his'friends, was said to his immediate disciples, bectuse . tbe con text clearly slio*ii that, what was s aid re-, sPected.their charaoter, not • as ministers but as Christians, and-of course, is.applicable to all true believers of every age. Though by nature " the children of wrath,", as 'weir Is others, and "enemies to God .by wicked works," yet, for them, Christ's expiatory death works out a glorious reconciliation, an .d one•ment, and , they become his friends: Of similar import with the word phurch; are such expriesions as the fellowing, viz.: " Hie people," (Matt. i : 21,) whom, as the name Jesus imports, he designed" °trr" save from their sins"—"a peculiar 'people," (Tit. 14,) " people; (Isar :'B,) , "'Vor the transgression of my people was he arieken," "Many," "He bare the sin of many," verse 12, "My b100d,, , shed for many," (Matt. xxvi: 28,) " By . the obe dience of one Shall many be made right eousr Rom. v : 19. Now ail these, Stipp twee, and these ,are but a.sample of the Bible-phraseology on this subject, clearly, nay ) irresistibly show that Christ did not die in the same stove for all; nay, they can never be reconciled with that supposi tion. • H.O M. B.'Once mores Reason and common sense obviously require that Christ's Re. demption and intercession should be co. equal and eo•extensive, if the toimeijs versa', so must be the latter. But when we look at what is called, by way of eminence, our Saviour's'' intercessory prayer, (Jno. xvii.) it is manifest that he prays, in , this chapter, Ist. For hiinself; 2._For his im mediate disciples; Bd. For all future be lievers. And the world may be challenged to show, from this chapter, that he suppli cated spiritual and saving blessings for any other part of the race. Here then is a stub born yet important fact. - The world (verse 9,) for which he does not pray, stands , op posed Ito the Church; between theai the 'race is divided. ~Now, if. Christ, as this chapter .unAneationably,provear did net ,pntY;.for, the, world, can any, map,possibly,imagine that he " ONE'THING IS - NEEDFUL:" "ONE TAING HAVE I DEIBIREV:ISP . THE LORD:" ?
