I don't think it makes sense to say that God loved believers so much that He sent His Son to save those who believe. It sounds redundant.
How does this sound for REDUNDANCY:
God loved believers only so much that He sent His Son to die for believers only.
The problem of not making any sense is when one simply accepts the non-biblical idea that Christ died ONLY for believers. The Bible has cleary stated that fact, yet Calvinists simply can't comprehend that truth. Because it threatens their theology.
Here's what Paul says about who Christ died for:
Romans 5:6
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
While one may argue that Paul was only referring to his audience of believers, there is every reason to understand that he was speaking as a human, not specifically as a believer. How so?
For whom did Jesus come to save? The sick, the lost, the poor, the unrighteous, the ungodly, and sinners.
Matt 9:12
On hearing this, Jesus said, it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sickAre just the elect sick?
Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. Are just the elect lost?
Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. Are just the elect poor?
1 Peter 3:18
For Christ died for sins once FOR ALL, the righteous (Christ) for the unrighteous (humanity, all of them), to bring you to God. Are just the elect unrighteous?
Rom 5:6
You see, just at the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for
the ungodly. Are just the elect ungodly?
Mark 2:17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Are just the elect sinners?
Isa 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
If Christ died for just the elect, then his theology leads to universalism, because of these verses. That means the non elect are neither sick, lost, poor, unrighteous, ungodly, or sinners. So they dont need salvation. And Christ wouldnt need to die for any of them.
If one can prove from each of those passages that the verse is clearly limited to ONLY BELIEVERS/ELECT/etc, then I must believe your view.
Otherwise, I will continue to reject RT theology and know that Christ died for everyone.
