The conclusion of universal atonement is that “Christ only secured for God the possibility of entering into a covenant of grace with us… if we believe. The most significant part of the work of salvation, that which really effects salvation, is still left for us to do.

Herman Bavinck | Reformed Dogmatics, Vol. 3: Sin and Salvation in Christ, trans. John Bolt and John Vriend (Baker Academic, 2006), 468 (HT: Christian Bland)
