If Christ on His cross intended to save every man, then He intended to save those who were lost before He died. If the doctrine be true, that He died for all men, then He died for some who were in hell before He came into this world, for doubtless there were even myriads there who had been cast away because of their sins. Once again, if it was Christ’s intention to save all men, how deplorably has He been disappointed, for we have His own testimony that there is a lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, and into that pit of woe have been cast some of the very persons who, according to the theory of universal redemption, were bought with His blood.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

A Study on Christ as the Only Way in light of Acts 4:12
The apostle Peter proclaimed that Christ Jesus is the only way to God. Many sincere people would say that they do not believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to God but there is no other way to God but Jesus Christ. This is the divine testimony of the infallible Scriptures. People like Hindu's would question the exclusivity of the Bible's claim on Jesus as the only way to God. Sincerity is not a qualification to always arrive at the divine truth of God. That is, sinners can be sincerely wrong. To understand the Bible a sinner must be spiritually awakened by God through His Spirit and Word. It is possible, however, for a damned sinner to be merely providentially awakened without a genuine work of the Spirit and the Word. The divine truth of God is exclusive because of the nature of God and His holy character. For Spurgeon wrote on A Defense of Calvinism,
