People who Christ did not die for and in the place of are going to die in their sins, those sins that broke God's law. All sinners whom Christ did not die for are still responsible to God and held accountable for every sin against Him and His Holiness, because He is their Creator. For the strength of sin is the Law 1Cor 15:56.
However all for whom Christ died for, by His Body, have died once and for all to the Law Rom 7:
4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
This verse assures all those who Christ died for shall be married to Christ, that is they shall receive a spiritual life that is indicative of having died to the law with Christ. This is not because of their Faith or repentance that they are dead to the Law, but by the Body of Christ. see Gal 2:19
Yes, in the literal body body of Christ, though in a mystical way, their surety, they [all for whom Christ died] have suffered the extreme penalty of God's Most Holy Law, and that Law can no more punish them for their sins again, no more than the state can execute the law on a criminal that is already dead.
So all for whom Christ died are dead to the law, secure as a dead man against the Legal vengeance that awaits all those who Christ died not die for, for through His death, we have been delivered from the wrath to come. Rom 5:9 & 1 Thess 1:10
This has absolutely nothing to do with one's believing it or receiving it[The knowledge of it] by Faith, though that will
occur, but solely resting upon the Death or Blood of Christ.
We may sum it like this" The Church, because of her own legal death upon the cross within her Head, she has escaped the dominion of her first husband, the Law, so now in a new resurrected life [regeneration] she may be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God..
But those who Christ did not for, they have much to fear in that day, for they are under dominion of the Law..
Outstanding !
Thank God it was a blessing to you my Sister !
Christ died for His Church is plain !
Eph 5:25-27
[FONT="][FONT=Arial][B]25 [/B][/FONT]Husbands, love your wives, [B]even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT="]26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,[/FONT]
[FONT="]27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
He gave Himself for IT, the Church. To go beyond what scripture says is presumption !
What about scriptures like Heb 2:9 ? Tasting death for every man is still referring to the Church He gave Himself for. It simply means He gave Himself for every man that constitutes His Body the Church.[/FONT]
You got it Brother!
Christ's Church is the only World He Loved and tasted death for, or gave His Life for Heb. 2:9; John 3:16.
Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
So, if just one person for whom Christ tasted death for, falls short of producing that effect for them, it means Christ's death has failed the Purpose of God for that one.
And whoever teaches that a person Christ died for can yet die in their sins and unbelief, they are in effect teaching against the success and Purpose of Christ's Death: That it has fallen short of producing God's desired effect for all whom Christ died! And that's blasphemy against the efficacy of the Blood of Christ to Save all those it was shed for!
Rev 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 17:3
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The Teaching that Jesus Christ died for all mankind without exception, and yet many of them are in hell, or are on their way there, that He died for, is Blasphemy. It is Blasphemy against the Entire Godhead, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
I don't believe there is a more insulting teaching against God in all the world than this Blasphemy. It also is perhaps the Most Popular Teaching worldwide.
What I am speaking of, is that teaching which teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ actually died to make salvation only possible for all mankind.
He is taught to have shed His blood to only make His Salvation possible, and it did not make certain or ensure the Salvation of any. So the shedding of the Blood of Christ did not ensure no ones Salvation !
The ramifications of such an insult against the blood of atonement is huge and many. The Primary consequence of this impiety is that it designates man as his own Saviour, his own Redeemer !
They are Saved or Redeemed ultimately not by what the Blood did or accomplished, but what they did. Thats a Blasphemy !
Another popular Myth in the religious world today, is the Jesus Christ died or gave His Life for everyone in the world without exception, but the problem with that, is there is not one shred of scripture evidence that states that.
The scripture however does say that He died for His Sheep or His Church as per Jn 10:11,15
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Eph 5:25
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
His People Isa 53:8
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. cp Matt 1:21
Now, are all without exception His Sheep ? No
Are all without exception His Church ? No
Are all without exception His People ? No
For surely the seed of the serpent Gen 3:15 cannot be of His Sheep, His Church, or His People.
So why does the religous world proclaim that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception, when they have no scripture proof ? Because it is a Myth.
In Jn 10:11,15 who does it specifically sate that Christ laid down His Life for ?
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
In Jn 10:11,15 who does it specifically sate that Christ laid down His Life for ?
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
The Church are the elect. The members of Christ's royal family, that will reign with him over the nations (the righteous who don't die the second death, cast into the lake of fire). They don't suffer the first or the second death. All people rise from the dead, thanks to Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. The 1st Adam caused the death of creation, the 2nd Adam does the very opposite. Brings resurrection and life. Before Christ, the fate of the saint and sinner was the same. People died and gradually slept away into the darkness of the abyss, where these spirits are now:

Thanks to Christ, all will rise from the dead, both the righteous and the wicked. All will be judged according to their deeds. Before Christ, there was no judgment or opportunity to receive immortality. YHWH is the God of the Living, Not The Dead. Thanks to the resurrection, all will be judged and given an opportunity to inherit eternal life. It's now based on how we live our lives. The elect are a special group of people, who are born again/born above, who will become like the angels, shepherding the nations.
John 10:11, 15 specifically states that Christ laid down His Life for the Sheep.
Yet others are not His Sheep:
John 10:26
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
The goats were cursed from the beginning:
Mat. 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand [goats Mat. 25:32], Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
He gives His life primarily for the sheep, His bride, but the bride will reign with Christ over the nations. The nations are comprised of those who were not cast into the lake of fire. They suffer the first death, but not the second one. All resurrect as a result of Christ's work on the cross and His resurrection. Only the elect are spared the torments of death, until the day of resurrection, everyone else is cast into darkness, until the day of judgement.
Work out your salvation in fear and trembling and make your calling and election sure.
Rabbit trail.
How so?
