I Timothy 2:3-6 - Generous Calvinism

God genuinely desires the salvation of every individual, not merely all kinds of people and Christ's atonement was intended for all humanity. While we affirm the Calvinist doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, and the perseverance of the saints, the traditional Calvinist emphasis on limited atonement does not stand up to Scriptural analysis. An unlimited atonement magnifies the sufficiency and universal offer of Christ's sacrifice. As we search the Scripture for truth, let us maintain a spirit of humility and love in theological debate.
