Summary
On the cross, all the sins of God’s people were placed upon Christ so that His righteousness would be imputed to all who trust in Him for salvation. From his expositional series in the book of Romans, today R.C. Sproul teaches on this great exchange.

| 0:00.0 | I don't believe for one moment that Christ died for all the ungodly. I don't believe that. You know why? |
| 0:05.8 | Because I'm not a universalist. The Bible doesn't teach that everybody goes to heaven. Only believers go to heaven. Can Christ |
| 0:14.8 | die for a person's sin and that person still go to hell. |
| 0:29.3 | When it comes to the question for whom did Christ die, there is much debate among Christians, |
| 0:35.4 | yet the Bible is very clear, as you'll learn today, on the Sunday edition of renewing your mind. |
| 0:41.1 | Concluding our short series in Romans, we're ending by jumping ahead to chapter five of Romans to hear the good news of what Christ did for those who trust in him. |
| 0:47.1 | And as this is the final sermon in the series, it's also the final time you can request |
| 0:51.8 | Dr. Sproul's line-by-line commentary on Romans when you give a donation |
| 0:56.2 | of any amount at renewingermind.org. This offer does end today and won't be repeated next week, |

| 1:26.9 | Now Paul turns his attention to the atonement of Christ and what it has provoked in our salvation. |
| 1:38.2 | So let's look at it beginning in verse 6. |
| 1:42.3 | For when we were still without strength in due time, Christ died for the ungodly. |
| 1:49.6 | Now, at this point, Paul discusses the when of our atonement. |
| 1:56.5 | At what point in history the redemption of the people of God was accomplished? |
| 2:05.2 | And he speaks of the when of this accomplishment in two ways. |
| 2:13.8 | The first point is the when with respect to us. At what point in our personal history did Christ offer |
| 2:25.0 | himself on the cross? And the first thing that the apostle tells us is that it was when we were |
| 2:31.9 | still without strength. |
