Assurance that Jesus died for you

[Lamb]

There are people who don't believe Jesus died for all so how do they go out into the world and proclaim the Gospel in all its sweetness and let people know that Jesus died for them?

 

[Andrew]

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:19

not even death could hold my King.

He has the keys to life and death, the Judge of the quick and the dead.

Raised up to Full Glory and sitting upon His right full throne, having shown the entire world who the evil one was when he was sentenced to death by two courts of lawless men serving a lawless prince of air.

There are people who don't accept themselves so they have trouble believing that Jesus really does love them.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 [emphasis added]: “14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”

1 Corinthians 15:22 [emphasis added]: “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

They can't. That's just PART of the terror of "Limited Atonement" If Jesus didn't die for all, there's NO REASON WHATSOEVER to believe He died for me (or any other individual). One might have faith... but if there's nothing for that faith to apprehend (because it was never there for them) that faith would be entirely in vain. Thus, in Limited Atonement, NO ONE has any reason whatsoever to believe they'll ever be in heaven - no matter what, no matter what their faith is or is in.

Is this the anti-Calvinist message of security that you want people to hear?

“Jesus died for all the sins of everyone in the whole world. Of course, some people are still going to Hell (Matthew 23:33), so it is UP TO YOU to choose Jesus and to continue to believe, because God will never drop you, but he will not stop you from jumping out of his hand.”




How about this Calvinist one:

”Jesus took to the cross only the sins of His sheep, because Jesus’ arm is not short and He has the power to finish what He starts (Philippians 1:6). So the Jesus who died for your sins also holds your salvation firmly in his grasp (John 10:27-29) and WILL bring you across the finished line. (John6:44)”

We obey our Sovereign King. He said to go to all nations and make disciples. He has the authority to choose whom He wills to save. That is not my job. My job is to go and make disciples.
Matthew 28:18-20
[18]Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
[19]Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
[20]Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Our role is to be ambassadors of reconciliation. God's role is to do the reconciliation for whom He wills.
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
[19]For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
[20]So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
[21]For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
