here's a voicemail from one of our listeners named Lisa. All my life, I'm 58 years old, and I wanted to know,

it says God so loved the world that he gave his only got a son, whosoever believed in him, should not perish, could have everlasting life.

And all my life, I wondered when John said, behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the

world.

Well, what kind of world is they talking about? Because I know election is true. I know the elect of God who takes away the sin of the world. Well, what kind of world are they talking about?

Because I know election is true.

I know the elect of God he paid for their sins, but not the whole world.

So I've got some confusion about that.

Thank you.

Bye.

Well, Lisa, thank you for that question.

Yeah, John 1.29, John the Baptist, behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Or you also mentioned, you know, John 316. One of the most well-known Bible verses, for God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Here's, I think, the right way to talk about the death of Jesus Christ.

I mean, we're talking about the eternal son of God,

assuming humanity so that in that humanity he might die for the sins of his people.

The death of Jesus Christ is sufficient, if you will, to atone for the sins of the entire world.
