Look around the world, and see how failure is written on all of people’s schemes. Count up the partings, separations, disappointments, and bereavements which have happened under your own knowledge. Think what a privilege it is that there is One at least who never fails, and in whom no one was ever disappointed! Never, never was there so unfailing a friend as Jesus Christ!
~ J.C. Ryle
Tract: The Best Friend
If Jesus allready pay for the sins of the elect, how can we explain to Roman Catholics about salvation? purgatory does not exist and the purgation of sins is not the a way to obtain slavation. if this would be true, then Jesus did not do a good job at the Cross to pay for the sins of the elect.
