That Christ saved all for whom He died is proved by the various scripture analogies that Paul uses, especially in Rom 5.
I have witnessed to that fact in this thread under the heading of Rom 5:15 !
You see, Those Christ died for had a union with Him when He died and rose again.
This is Paul's point when He declares:
The fact that by the disobedience of one, that being Adam, many were made sinners ! Not offered to be made sinners, not being made sinners if they choose to be with their freewill, but they were, like it or not, made sinners..
Now this implies that those being made sinners had a life in Adam when Adam disobeyed God; now how was that true ? How did those who had a life in Adam and sinned when Adam sinned and died when He died ?
All men were created in Adam is collaborated in Acts 17:26
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Our Physical lives were present in Adam in the beginning when God said this:
Gen 1:26
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Thats why when Adam sinned, them sinned also by their being in union with Adam.
And now likewise, the fact of the obedience of one, and that one being the Lord Jesus Christ, many shall be made righteous ! not offered to be made righteous, not given a chance to be made righteous, but they are made righteous just as effectively as those being made sinners were.
This to implies that those who shall be made righteous had a life in Jesus Christ when He performed His act of obedience to God see Phil 2:8 ! Now how was that True, how did those lives get into Christ for His obedience to work effectively on their behalf ?
Paul says in 1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Of Him means its of God, that some were in Christ Jesus. They were in Him as they were in Adam, and as they experience the effects of Adam whom they had life in, so likewise they will experience the effects of Christ whom they had life in.
When Christ died for sin, their sins, they died 2 Cor 5:15
that if one died for all, then were all dead:
and when Christ rose from the dead after dying for their sins, they rose from the dead with Him, Justified of their sins He died for Eph 2:5
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved )
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
So this being said, Christ died only for those who had a union and life in Him, and this could not be said of those who Christ will soon say these words to:
Matt 7:23
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
For Christ did know intimately all those who had life and union with Him when He died on the cross for their sins.238
