Did Christ die to pay for everyone's sins or only for believers?
Scripture teaches that Christ's death paid the sin debt for every human being, not merely for believers. Hebrews says He tasted death for every man, and Paul writes that if One died for all, then all were dead. Therefore His death provided payment for all trespasses.
Les stresses that when Christ died, He paid the sin debt for every human being that has ever lived, not just the believers. He supports this by noting that Hebrews says Christ tasted death for every man, and that Paul tells us in II Corinthians chapter 5 that if One died for all, then all were dead. Les also points out that Paul says you are forgiven all your trespasses, meaning Christ's death paid the sin debt for every human being. He concludes that they will not be faced with the fact that their sin is what caused them to stand before the Great White Throne.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Did Christ die to pay the sin debt for believers only or for every human being?
