When Jesus Christ offered himself as a sacrifice for the sins of His people, He didn't make it possible for them to be saved. HE SAVED US! Heb. 1:3 says ".. when he had by himself purged our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." ".. when he had" refers to something already accomplished. God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and highly exalted Him because He was obedient unto death, which is what reconciled us unto God. Being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him (Rom. 5:9 - 10). Brethren, Christ 'obtained eternal redemption for us'. This also refers to something already accomplished. This is GOOD NEWS for needy sinners.
