    You think you can just rip a text out of its context and apply it any way you like. Romans 4:24 shows that Romans 4;25 is PROVISIONAL for believers only and Romans 5:1-2 shows it is accessed "by faith."

    You are attempting to make the atonement stand alone isolated from its divine purposed application and that will not stand up to the truth of scripture. God purposed it for the elect, God purposed Christ to provide it for the elect, God purposed it to be applied to the elect by the Holy Spirit and regenerative faith.

    When you break any link in this threefold chain and attempt to isolate any link and make it stand alone you will end up teaching error. The provision apart from the purpose and application is worthless. The purpose apart from the provision and application is worthless. The application apart from the purpose and provision is worthless. It is not ONE but all three in their cause and effect relationship - Purpose - Provision - Application.

    No one is justified by God's purpose alone! No one is justified by God's provision alone. No one is justified by God's application alone. Isolate one from the rest and you have error!
