Jesus died for all humanity "before the foundation of the world" before Adam declared his independence it was already "finished", the cure before the disease, that's how God works.
Now is the time to "preach the Good News" that all are already reconciled to God, believe it embrace it and enter into it!!
Even your faith adds nothing to the finished work, it is done, it only needs you to enter into it.
Don't be a homeless bum, with a 50 million dollar inheritance languishing in the bank. Don't remain lost, just because you forgot your home address!!

CJ that still doesn't make a bit of sense. Everyone is saved, but they just don't know they are saved. Tell them that they all won running shoes but they don't have any feet to put in those running shoes? CJ so Charlie Mason is saved? But he just doesn't know it? It would make sense if you scrapped where Jesus said you will know the tree by its fruit. If all humanity is saved but just don't know they are saved then they aren't showing the fruit of their salvation. When they Judeans were free to leave Babylon by Cyrus, most didn't leave, while this didn't change them being Judeans it still separated them from what God had for them to return to the promise land.
Acts 2:38 asked the people to repent,
Acts 10:48 Peter ordered those who received the Holy Ghost (they didn't have prior to his visit ) commanding them to be baptized in Jesus name. If what you believe is true then Peter, Paul, and the apostles, would of never baptized, laid hands on, or ordered anyone to do anything, they would of just told everyone that they are saved so everyone be happy.
CJ that doesn't even smell right.
