Question 9:
Life’s order in this world is based on humanity taking responsibility for its deeds. Is it not strange that salvation for all people should be accomplished by one person’s suffering for all?
Answer: God offers all people salvation in and through Jesus Christ. I deliberately write: offers. Man is free to reject the offer. If he accepts, he will need to gather all his strength so that the gift of salvation will be realised in him. He will bid Jesus Christ to take his whole person, to transform his contrariness into obedience so that, through the power of the Holy Spirit, he will come to resemble Christ more and more and will please God. In other words, he will be completely „saved”.
