Are all people, just as they were lost
through Adam, saved through Christ?
No, only those who
are elected by God and united to Christ by faith. Nevertheless God in his mercy
demonstrates common grace even to those who are not elect, by restraining the
effects of sin and enabling works of culture for human well-being.
LOMA 5:17
He kapau na‘e Hau ‘a Mate ‘i he faihala ‘a e toko
taha, pea founga ‘ene Hau ‘i he toko taha ko ia; huanoa ‘enau Hau ‘i he mo‘ui, ‘e
kinautolu ‘oku ma‘u hono lahi faufau ‘o e kelesi, mo e me‘a‘ofa ko e
fakatonuhia, ko e fou ‘enau Hau ‘i he toko taha ko Sīsū Kalaisi.
ROMANS 5:17
For if, because of
one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who
receive the abundance of grace and the free of righteoosness reign in life through
the one man Jesus Christ.
Commentary - MARTYN LLOYD-JONES (cont…)
The
Holy Spirit has been operative in the world from the very beginning and He has
had His influence and His effect upon men and women who are not saved and who
have gone to perdition. While they were in this life and worldly, they came under
these general, non-saving operations of the Holy Spirit… it is not a saving
influence, nor is it a redemptive influence, but it is a part of God's
purpose...
If
the Holy Spirit were not operative in men and women in this general way, human
beings, as a result of the Fall and of sin, would have festered away into
oblivion long ago…
