Did Christ die for every person?
Yes. Scripture states that Christ died for every man and tasted death for every man, and God is not willing that any should perish. It also says the believer was chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. These two facts stand together in Scripture and are accepted by faith.
Les explains that Scripture affirms Christ died for every man and tasted death for every man, and that God is not willing that any should perish. At the same time, Scripture says the believer was chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. Les illustrates this with the river of humanity: along its banks are doors of opportunity marked 'Whosoever will may come.' When a person goes through, looking back they see 'Chosen in Him' before the world was created. Les says he cannot explain both facts but lets them stand in Scripture by faith, and when we decide for ourselves, God says, 'I chose you.'
Did Christ die for every person according to Les's teaching?
Yes. Scripture is said to affirm that Christ died for every man and tasted death for every man, and that God is not willing that any should perish. This stands alongside the teaching that believers were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
Does the Bible say Jesus died for everyone?
Yes. Scripture says Christ died for every man, tasted death for every man, and God is not willing that any should perish. Yet it also says the one who comes through the door of opportunity was chosen in Him before the world was created, both truths received by faith.
