What does the Bible say about Christ dying for everyone?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible indicates that Christ died specifically for His people, not universally for all individuals.

The question of whether Christ died for everyone is addressed in various scriptures. Notably, 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 asserts that Christ died for those who are in Him. The text reveals that the love of Christ constrains believers, leading to the understanding that while the gospel is proclaimed to all, Christ's sacrificial death effectively redeems only those God the Father chose. This brings us to Matthew 1:21, where it's affirmed that Jesus came to save His people from their sins, highlighting that His atonement is not a general one but a particular one for those designated by God. Furthermore, Revelation 5:9 emphasizes that Christ redeemed people 'out of every kindred and tongue,' not indiscriminately but specifically from those who would believe in Him.
