You suggest it is not so, @Bob Carabbio.
What reasoning do you suggest that no, Jesus blood does not cover unbelievers?

My very orthodox understanding is that one must be joined to Christ by faith to be covered by His blood. However, I humbly acknowledge that Jesus is Sovereign over All and is empowered by His father to apply His blood over whomever He pleases, believer or unbeliever. I humbly and gratefully trust he will graciously apply it to me.

Hebrews 11.6: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
In the sense that it is sufficient for all, yes. But in the sense that it is efficacious for all, no. In the latter, only for God's elect is it efficacious.
Grace and peace.

When in doubt, just read John 3:16.
"For God so loved .... the world....that He GAVE"..
Gave what?
= Jesus
To whom? ""THE WORLD".. and who is that?
Every living human, and the dead also.
Christ died for ALL........"all"
What does the word all mean?
It means everyone......
But here is this SITUATION......... its this........ You have to go to Jesus, believing, to get what God has given to the world.
Christ on the Cross, is GIVEN.......to the 'world" but, there is a CONDITION to receiving what Christ has accomplished for you on the Cross.
You have to give God your FAITH in Christ.
"The work of God is that you BELIEVE in Jesus, whom God sent".
You have to go to the Cross, having recognized that you are a sinner and need to be saved.
And God will save you, if you go there, and give God your faith in Jesus The Lord.
Its in this recognition of yourself as a sinner, that you find faith in the SAVIOR....and when you believe in your heart, by FAITH, then God will deliver to you, His GRACE, which is forgiveness and eternal life.. and this is to become a SON or Daughter of GOD.......spiritually born again, as a "New Creation"..."in Christ"

You can forget your "sovereign grace" hyper calvinism.
Put it in the dumpster where it came from, as that is were it works best of all.
Lucky for us that God is not a Calvinist, but is instead a eternally Merciful God.
And his mercy is extended forever, but its not applied to everyone.
Its only applied to those who BELIEVE In their Heart, in God's Son, understanding their need for Salvation.
And this FAITH, is accepted by God, always. "faith is counted as Righteousness". "Justification BY faith".
Thank you for your take, Pinseeker.
I concur, however with all being saved from sin, death, Satan and his demons, the grave, and Sheol because of the victory of Christ. This is for all people, they have been save from all those things just mentioned.
However they are not saved to the kingdom of heaven (heavenly Jerusalem) due to lack of faith or faithlessness, no desire to deal with God, hatred for God. They are all resurrected, and given a spiritual body according to God, just as believers. That good and pleasing, to some varying degree or another according to 1 Corinthians 15.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here, Lambano. You know I just desired to know what people think about this topic. Because there are a variety of differing views and of course we have the Bible itself to use and learn from.
Thank you for sharing, some of the scriptures here for others and explaining some, Behold.

Hah! That's the first time I've ever been accused of being a Calvinist, hyper or otherwise!
Hey, even an Arminian Methodist like me has to acknowledge Christ's sovereignty over everything. The promise is to those who trust Him. Those who do not trust Him have no such promise.
The general resurrection is a certainty, but some are resurrected to eternal life, and some to judgment. The resurrection is universal, but salvation and eternal life is not.
Grace and peace to you, MatthewG.
Short answer: NO. Unless you believe on the Lord Jesus you cannot be saved or have the blood of the Lamb applied to your soul. One must repent, believe, and receive Christ as Lord and Savior.

Are there scriptures that confirm Jesus death was for all human beings? That his death covered all peoples sins, even unbelievers, that his death and resurrection and victory saved them from Satan, death, grave, Sheol, sin, hell, though they may not be saved to the kingdom of heaven due to lack of faith.

You asked if there are scriptures that confirm Jesus death was for all human beings? Yes.

Hebrews 10:12, "But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God"
"(My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.) But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One, and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world." 1 John 2:1-2
