⚪ Jesus died for all mankind

We should still see the grandeur of his salvation in Christ Jesus - “a ransom for all.

"FOR ALL"

Does not the ransom price of Jesus result to the everlasting benefit of all? Does not the scripture at 1 Timothy 2:6 above quoted prove that Jesus gave his life a ransom for all? and is not that a guarantee that all of the human race must have the full benefit of the ransom sacrifice or ransom price? No; such a conclusion is not correct. Some of the human race, the offspring of Adam, are willfully wicked, and such are not benefited by the ransom.

ONE MAN FOR A WORLD

Neverless, how could Jesus Christ, one man, by his human death ransom the whole world of mankind? Why is not a individual ransom sacrifice required for each member of the human family? It was all through the underserved kindness of God, and his wisdom explains it for us briefly, in Romans 5:12, 15-19 [...] That inspired argument balances Jesus Christ, one man, off with Adam, one man. [...] Jesus had been a spirit Son of God in heaven, God's "only-begotten Son." and, in order that his only-begotten Son might be born as a perfect human creature, Almighty God divested the Son of his heavenly godlike existence and transferred his life from heaven to Mary's womb by means of God's invisible active force or spirit.
Thus this heavenly Son, who was God's Spokesman or "Word," was developped as a human child for nine months in the womb of his virgin mother, but not inheriting sin, imperfection and death from Mary's original earthly father, Adam. [...] In this way Almighty God provided in his Son Jesus Christ a "corresponding ransom for all." One perfect human, Jesus Christ, was thus able to die for all mankind. On the third day Jehovah God raised him from the dead, after which he ascended into heaven with the full value of his corresponding ransom, to present it to God of absolute justice, in behalf of all mankind. - Hebrews 9:24.
By offering a ransom for the offspring of Adam and Eve, Jesus redeemed Adam's offspring as his own. He not only redeemed or repurchased his 144,000 followers who become joint heirs with him in the heavenly kingdom but also redeemed all the remainder of mankind.
