Scriptural evidence from both the Old Testament and New Testament affirms that Jesus died for everyone.

Introduction
The death and the resurrection of Christ is what gives the believer the courage and the right to be called a child of God. The atonement is the essence and the validity of Christianity, and it is the main reason for Jesus existence on earth through the Virgin Mary. Man had fallen short of the glory of God, and needed a savior to redeem us back unto God again. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to atone the sins of man, hence, his death on the cross. Objections to the claim of Jesus death for everyone have come from reputable theologians who assert Jesus died for only the elect while other Bible scholars assert he died for all people. Scriptural evidence from both the Old Testament and the New Testament affirms that Jesus died for everyone.
