Jesus Died For The Sins Of The Whole World

1st John 2:1-2, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

Could the Bible be any plainer than the preceding Bible passage, which teaches that Jesus Christ died for all mankind? I think not. If, as John MacArthur and other Calvinists teach, God chooses who will and won't be saved, then why does the Word of God repeatedly proclaim that Christ died for the WORLD? For example, John 3:16 proclaims:

“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.”

The Bible teaches that “whosoever may be saved, simply by trusting upon the Lord Jesus Christ to receive God's gift of forgiveness of sins. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. Salvation is having our sins forever washed away by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1st John 1:7). 1st John 4:14 states:

“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.”

Here again we plainly read that Christ DIED FOR THE WORLD, not just for the saints. Jesus could not be the Savior of “THE WORLD” if He only chose some to believe. 1st Timothy 4:10 plainly states:

“For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.”

The Bible is very clear! Jesus is the Savior of all men. Jesus paid for the sins of all humanity. If you die in your sins and burn in Hellfire, it will be your own fault. Eternal life is a “free gift” (Romans 5:15b). Unbelief is the only sin which can prevent a person from going to Heaven. Everyone who believes upon the Lord is going to Heaven. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” There's that word "whosoever" again. In the Greek that means anybody! John 12:47 states:

“And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.”

In John Calvin's heretical teachings, one of the five major tenets of Calvinism is called Limited Atonement (which says Christ only died for the elect). I will close with a helpful statement from Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold, and then an article by Pastor Bob Gray Sr. ...

Calvinism lie = They believe, because they were chosen.

The truth = We were chosen, because we believe!
