Even if Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross was a limited redemption meant only for believers and not the whole world, Jesus still delivered salvation through his sacrifice, by which we, as believers, are saved from sin.
Therefore, we cannot all be sinners, especially the believers, because Christ the Redeemer died on the cross for our sins.
Any sin committed is the fault of the sinner, not the result of the false notion of inherited sin long ago redeemed by Christ, and definitely not the fault of the victim, who did not sin.
Even if, by faith alone, we are saved by grace, the process by which we receive grace—especially from sin—through redemption, forgiveness, and ultimately reconciliation with the Lord, remains the same.
There must be openness and the ability to receive grace, whether through faith, intercession, or divine countenance.
Since sin is the forsaking of love, grace, and the Lord in an immoral act that causes harm, this separation must be mended before love and grace can be received and reconciliation with the Lord can occur.
Thus, the sinner must first confess their sin, repent, understand the harm caused, and atone for the sin to make amends, receive grace through forgiveness and faith, and ultimately reconcile or make peace with the Lord.
Even if we believe in limited redemption or not, it does not change the truth. Though mere mortals may not fully know the truth, it remains out there.
Love is love. Faith is faith. The truth is the truth, regardless of how twisted it may be in the minds of fools or limited in the minds of the ignorant; it still does not alter the facts and the self-evident truths of empirical and metaphysical reality.
And it will not change the need to have the ability to receive grace and, if forsaken in sin, to reconcile with the Lord, receive forgiveness, and be restored.
I believe that Jesus Christ made salvation available to everyone in the full redemption of sin.
1 John 2:2 states: "He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the sins of the whole world".
1 Timothy 2:6 states that Jesus Christ "gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time”.
The confusion may lie in the fact that you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
In other words, believers are most likely to drink from the waters of salvation and receive grace and redemption, while those without faith might be less inclined to embrace the process of redemption. Nonetheless, the waters of redemption are available for everyone.
After all, Jesus does not discriminate, as shown in the parable of the Good Samaritan, where love of thy neighbor is accessible to everyone regardless of race or religion.
So even if a person feels unworthy, the love, grace, and redemption of the Lord are there for everyone. You just need to be able and willing to receive these blessings.
