He died for ALL mankind .... then those within mankind if they choose to follow Him they become His sheep.
Jesus provided the WAY ... for those who choose Him.
John 10:9
I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
John 1
4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men (mankind).

John 1
