Jesus Saves Everyone He Purchased

                                         "And they sang a new song:  

                                               'You are worthy to take the scroll
                                                and to open its seals, because you
                                                were slain, and with your blood
                                                you purchased men for God
                                                from every tribe and language and
                                                people and nation.

                                                You have made them to be a kingdom
                                                 and priests to serve our God, and they
                                                 will reign on the earth.' "
                                                                           Revelation 5:9-10


          Who did Jesus purchase with His blood?

          Jesus purchased with His blood, people who were in bondage to sin, from every tribe and
     language and people and nation.  People from all over the world.
     He paid their ransom, freeing them to escape Satan's control (Ephesians 2:2).

          Did Jesus purchase EVERYONE in the world, or only some?

          Only some.  He bought those  the Father had given Him, paying for them with the
     sacrifice of His life.  Every one of them will come to Him to be saved, and He will never
     lose any of them.

                                              "Everyone that that Father gives me
                                               will come to me, and everyone who
                                               comes to me I will never drive away."

                                                " ... I shall lose none of those He has given me,
                                                but raise them up at the last day."
                                                                        John 6:37,39
 


          Jesus perfectly saves everyone He purchased through His death on the cross.
     After His resurrection He sat down at right hand of God, signifying that His mission
     to save His people was accomplished, and He was taking His rightful place in heaven.
                              
                                                " Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
                                                  the author and perfecter of our faith,
                                                  who for the joy set before Him
                                                  endured the cross, scorning its shame,
                                                  and sat down at the right hand of the throne
                                                  of God."
                                                                           Hebrews 12:2
