@ VH - Yes use whatever you wish.
The ransom payment was paid for all so mankind would have a right to a resurrection. Christ died for all. But it seems that the benefits of the ransom sacrifice don't apply to the other sheep right now.
Do you believe in Universal Salvation? Just curious. Is it All? Or, whosoever?
Mat_10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat_10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat_16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Joh_3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh_3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
The payment is offered, but it must be received in order for righteousness to be imputed. It is the state of "righteousness' that gives us the inheritance of life as an heir in the family of God.
Some people simply do not want Jesus to be King, plain and simple. Luke 19: 14 (Yes, 1914 )
“But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.”
Should not God give people who request freedom from himself their wish?
