What Christ accomplished on the Cross was for the Elect alone

In speaking of the redemption that is in Jesus Christ, we had need to keep clear of all human systems, and hold close by the Scriptures. Jesus Christ, by the price of redemption, which he paid, delivers his people from the wrath to come, and he entitles them to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and which fadeth not away: all the pains from which he delivers are eternal, and so are all the blessings he procures; every thing which takes place, by virtue of his redemption, is eternal; as he redeems not by corruptible things, when he redeems by laying down his own precious life, so nothing restored by his redemption can ever be subject to corruption. - Robert Sandeman, Letters on Theron and Aspasio
