AW Pink on the Predestinarian Cross

AW Pink wrote,

"The supreme example of controlling, directing influence which God exerts upon the wicked is the Cross of Christ with all its attendant circumstances.  If ever the superintending providence of God was witnessed, it was there. From all eternity God had predestined every detail of that event of all events. Nothing was left to chance or the caprice of man. God had decreed when and where and how His blessed Son was to die… Not a thing occurred except as God had ordained, and all that He had ordained took place exactly as He purposed."

All the Believing Ones Are Reconciled to God by the Cross of Jesus Christ

"And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby..." (Eph 2:16 KJV).

The perpetuity (or clearness) of the written Word is that our Savior and Creator Jesus Christ (the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity) reconciled the totally depraved sinner in radical corruption devoid of self-appointed redemption (see Rom 3ff; Ps 53ff).  He crucified the enmity of sin or the war of sin in behalf of sinners between God the Father to His Cross alone (that was the Father's design) because through His matchless Cross, Jesus provided forgiveness, cleansing and divine grace to poor elect sinners (Mt 1:21).  Some theologians add or take away from the written Scriptures, but the Scriptures are sufficient (2 Tim 3:16-17).  I am reminded of the Latin phrase Scriptura sacra locuta, res decisa est (that is, Holy Scripture has spoken, the issue is decided).
