What does 'tasted death for every man' mean in Hebrews 2:9?

Answered in 1 source

'Tasted death for every man' suggests that Christ's death had significance for all of humanity but is understood within the context of God's chosen people.

In Hebrews 2:9, the phrase 'tasted death for every man' has sparked diverse interpretations. Many emphasize that it reflects the universality of Christ's sacrifice, while others clarify that it pertains specifically to those whom God has chosen. The context suggests that the 'every man' refers to those who are being brought to glory—the believers and the elect. Thus, while the atonement is sufficient for all, its application is effective for those who are drawn by God's grace.
