God's sacrifice on the cross.

[Neostarwcc]

It's commonly said among us Calvinists that God died for the elect but yet his death was sufficient to save all. If God only died for his sheep as scripture says in most of John 10 how is it everybody isn't saved if his death was sufficient to save all?

Good day,

Sufficient in it's capacity to atone , effective in it's intended scope of atonement.

Calvinists are comparing two things in your quote above. When Calvinists say that Christ died for the elect, they are speaking of the extent of the atonement. When they say that Christ death is sufficient for all they are speaking of the value of the atonement. Christ death is of infinite value. If God decided to save another 100 trillion, Christ would not have needed to suffer a little more. Christs death is of infinite value but he gave all that value to the elect. We are saved to the uttermost!

The way you put this, God (Jesus) only died for His sheep as Scripture says.
So His death is sufficient for ALL HIS SHEEP.
Everybody is not saved because He doesn't save those who are not HIS SHEEP.
