Why do some go to hell if Christ died for everyone?

The question of why some go to hell even if Christ's atonement is said to be for all underscores a contradiction in the universalist perspective. According to the Bible, not all will receive the benefit of Christ's death, which speaks to the necessity of limited atonement. Those who are not elected experience God's justice due to their sin, including the sin of unbelief, as affirmed in passages like Hebrews 3:12. The reality of judgment demonstrates that the atonement is not intended for everyone, but rather for a particular group of people, the elect, who will ultimately fulfill the conditions set forth by salvation brought through Christ alone.
