Jesus Died For Whom?

 

whom jesus christ died for

 

Jesus died for HIS SHEEP, not for the goats. – Matthew 25:32

 

Jesus died for HIS CHILDREN, not for children of the Devil. – 1 John 3:10

 

Jesus died for GOD’S ELECT, not for the reprobate. – 2 Corinthians 13:5

 

Jesus died for THE WHEAT, not for the tares (weeds). – Matthew 13:30

 

Jesus died for HIS BRIDE the Church, not for those without (outside) the Church – Mark 4:11

 

Jesus died ONLY FOR THOSE who come to BELIEVE in Him, not for those who never believe. – John 3:16

 
Contrary to popular preaching, Jesus did NOT die for everyone who ever lived or ever will live. If Christians would just read their Bibles instead of listening to the “master of ceremonies” in the pulpit, they would find out the truth. Those who state that Jesus died for everyone who ever lived or ever will live are simply not telling the truth. God is a JUST god and does not punish both His Son AND the sinner for the same sins. In addition, people are in Hell because of ALL of their sins, not just the sin of unbelief. And if a person’s sins had been paid for by Christ on the cross, God would have NO LEGAL JUSTIFICATION to send that individual to Hell. Christ’s death on the cross COMPLETELY SATISFIED THE DEMANDS OF DIVINE JUSTICE for ALL the sins of ALL the sinners for whom Christ died. The sin debt of ALL those people was PAID IN FULL for all eternity, therefore God CANNOT send THOSE people to Hell. He has no judicial grounds to do so. And such is the meaning of PROPITIATION as it relates to Christ’s atonement. One could argue that Christ died for all but His death was only efficient for those who believe. But such a claim is not substantiated by Scripture nor – as stated previously – does the “died for all” claim reconcile with the “justice of God”, to send sinners to Hell for whom Christ died.
