How is redemption applied according to scripture?
William Ames said,
Application is the making effectual, in certain men, of all those things which Christ has done and does as mediator.
Scripture teaches this application is done by the Holy Spirit alone. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:13.
But of course, it first depends on God's decree by which He has given Christ certain men to be redeemed and saved. After all, scripture says so. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day. John 6:39.
And only those who the Father has given to Christ come to him. Disagree? See for yourself, John 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
