Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God’s elect, that they should believe.
— John Owen
Atonement
It cannot be over-emphasized that we have not seen the full meaning of the cross till we have seen it… as the center of the gospel, flanked on the one hand by total inability and unconditional surrender and on the other by irresistible grace and final preservation.
— J. I. Packer
Atonement
If He hides the sin, or lesseneth it, He is faulty; if He leaves it still upon us, we die. He must then take our iniquity to Himself, make it His own, and so deliver us; for thus having taken the sin upon Himself, as lawfully He may, and lovingly He doth, it followeth that we live if He lives; and who can desire more?
— John Bunyan
Atonement
The simplest word of faith is the deepest word of theology; Christ died for our sins.
— James Denney
