The question relates to how many sins did Christ die on behalf of the elect? Was his sacrifice only geared towards certain amount of sins or types of sins like accidentals vs habituals? Sproul would have us believe that to sin habitually means we are not really Christians.
Tobias Crisp says, "And we may do some good to let you see what advantage there is in Christ for you; for thereby you may be induced not to establish your own righteousness against him, and his. We shall sin every day; in many things we sin all; but the business we are to do, is this, to let you know, that though there be sins committed, yet there is no peace broken; because the breach of peace is satisfied in Christ; there is a reparation of the damage before the ain itself be commitres: Christ had in his eye, and so had the Father too, all the damages that should fall out to the end of the world, by his own people; and he did not pay a price for some that were present only, but he paid the damages of all that shouls come after, from the time of his suffering, to the end of the world. . . ." Christ Alone Exalted, pg. 164 - 165
