The results of Christ death !
Another blessed result of the death of Christ according to the Covenant Suretyship engagement is to
Isa 42:7
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
All men by nature are in the prison house of spiritual darkness and unbelief. Paul when writing to the Church of rome wrote that all[jew and gentile] in the prison of unbelief Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Now even though this verse is speaking of Gods elect from amongst the jews and gentiles, its applicable ton the non elect too ! Now the word concluded is the greek word sygkleiō and means
Col 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
But now Christ death brings those He died for out of darkness and from the power of satan, and with that they are given Faith and become believers, that's a testimony to what Christ has done in delivering them from darkness and unbelief.
Thats why to say that one for whom Christ died can and does die in unbelief is to speak against, testify against Christ and His finished work !

b. to shup up on all sides, shut up completely; τινα εἰς τινα or τί, so to deliver one up to the power of a person or thing that he is completely shut in,
By nature we are delivered up to the power of darkness and of satan Acts 2618
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
