 My brother Corey mentioned in 1st John 2 verse 2 1st John chapter 2 1st John chapter 2 I'll start at verse 1 because he's writing to believers My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you may not sin That if anyone sins we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous and he himself is the perpetuation for our sins and And not for ours only but also for those of the whole world now Some of you may say okay, what there is right there It's the whole world. It's the whole world. It's it's that's that's that's world means every single person and And it shocked me that my brother Would use that text it's proof that Christ's propitiation is for the sins of the entire world And I'm going to prove to you that it is not first of all John is a Jew and he's writing to people believers by the way And remember the gospel of John it's the same apostle that wrote the gospel of John Same apostle who wrote the gospel of John? And in that and in John 3 Jesus meets a Jew Name name name Nicodemus a Pharisee right teacher of the law And he explains to to Nicodemus That God's purpose Yes salvation is for the Jews, but it's not just for Jews only Which is why John 3 16 is clear That God God so loved the world. Yes those that are in the world, but he has a special love for his elect So he says for God so loved the world. He gave his only begotten son And it doesn't say whosoever it's the believing ones Should not perish But have everlasting life This was a shock. This was a shock to a Jewish Reader and a teacher to know that the Christ salvation is more than just for a Particular ethnic group, but it's for other ethnicities as well Jew and Gentile So when John is writing and speaking to these Christians here And first John and his in his first letter He's saying That Christ's propitious area atonement is not just for us But it's for the world it's for all kinds of people in the world How do I know that? Because the context Makes it clear. This is the same John ladies and gentlemen the same John Who uses the world? In the fifth chapter Of his first letter Don't believe me. Let's go there Because the question i'm asking my brother Cory and others who think that that that first john 2 2 means everybody Then I need to I need to ask this question Then what does john say here in first john 519? We know that we are of god and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil Wow Wait a minute John you just said that we we belong to god You you say we belong to god john Then you said the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one or in the evil one lies in the lap Of satan well, we we're in this world So does that mean that that christians lie in the dominion and realm and power and auspices of satan Surely that's not what john is saying Let's let's look at another one. Let's look at another one. Let's go to his gospel John 12 19 So the Pharisees said to one another you see that you are not doing any good. Look the whole world Has gone after him Question did the whole entire world go after christ? The whole entire world the I mean everybody went after christ Or is there some figure of speech or hyperbole here? Let's look at another text Let's look at luke Luke chapter two verse one Now in those days a decree went out from cesarea I mean The decree went out. Excuse me from Caesar Augustus. Excuse me that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth everybody Caesar had a census he he actually Conducted a census of every single person everybody On the entire planet course not Of course not This was the first census taken while crenius was governor of syria And everyone was on his way to register for the census each to his own city Talking about rome. It's not talking about the entire world the entire planet Matthew three five and six Then jerusalem was going out to him and all judia and all the district around Jordan and they were being baptized by him in the jordan river as they confessed their sins everybody Did every single person In jerusalem and in judia Go out to be baptized Of course not Of course not Let's look at another one Colossians one five and six Paul writes because of the hope laid up for you in heaven of which you previously heard the word of the truth the gospel Which has come to you just as in all the world Also, it is constantly bearing fruit in in the whole entire world The whole entire world. I mean the the gospel has reached everywhere at the time that pa that pa was writing this Of course not Context is key And that's my point But my question is for those like my brother quarry and others who believe that first john two two and two That christ's death paid for the sins of everybody And that it was not particularly for his elect Then why doesn't christ pray For the entire world and only prays For his elect Let me go to another one Maybe two more and then i'll ask this last question. We'll continue on verse one of second peter two But false prophets also arose among the people just as there will also be false teachers among you who will secretly introduce destructive heresies Even denying the master who bought them Even denying the master who bought them. I don't know how this can be a case for the atonement It says nothing about the atonement doesn't say anything about christ dying nothing The word here for master Is not kurios. It is despatis and it just simply means sovereign ruler or owner So in in the grand scheme of things Ultimately god owns it all He's the creator. He's a sovereign ruler of the universe of the universe. Everything belongs to him The context is key These these individuals these false teachers Are not are not Belonging to christ in a salvific sense, but they belong to they belong to god As they in it as a creators ever as a creation sense god Owns all of mankind So the word master here is not kurios when we get lord It's it's master meaning despatis meaning a sovereign ruler supreme authority one who has the right Over someone or something else So yes false teachers belong to god false every every human being belongs to god
