It is the difference between the man who manufactures life vests
and the man who pulls drowning people out of the water, between the man who
makes a scalpel and the man who uses it to cut out a cancerous tumour to save a
patient’s life. Creating a system to do something is a fundamentally different
thing from actually doing it. Thus, saying that Jesus creates a salvation
system rather than saving us gives us a fundamentally different
perspective on the cross and the empty tomb.”
Greg Forster, The
Joy of Calvinism, p. 54-55
