This is SO ridiculous!
Jesus did all that ... so some would have a chance!
I don't see that in Scripture.
Jesus gave his life as a ransom, went through all that agony so that SOME would have a CHANCE??
No; he came to seek and save the lost, Luke 19:10 and died for sinners, Romans 5:8.
Who are the sinners in this world? Romans 3:23.
Whether you like it, believe it, or not ...
all humans are destined for hell.
We WERE, before Jesus.
But, because of Jesus ...
some have a chance to escape hell.
ALL have a chance to escape hell - it's just that not all will.
You have said yourself in another thread that some will choose to walk away and some will chose to continue to walk in the flesh. That doesn't mean that God never gave them the chance to be saved; it means they chose not to take it.
The point of Jesus doing all that He did ... was so
some humans would have a chance to escape hell.
See above.
But, these ones have a part to play in their salvation!
No.
Jesus didn't die to give us a chance, and if we DO enough, or the right things, we will make that chance a certainty.
It is a co-operative effort between God and man!
No.
When Adam sinned, the relationship between God and man was broken; spoiled. We could do nothing at all to un-break it and restore ourselves to God.
You are correct to say that we deserved death and punishment. God would have been perfectly entitled to destroy Adam and Eve and start again - and destroy every person after them who sinned. He would also have been entitled to leave us in our sin; let us face the consequences.
He chose to do neither - he chose to offer us a way to make atonement and be forgiven. All people after Adam offered animal sacrifices to God. The idea being that if they offered an animal, a source of income, to be killed; that would cost them and would show that they were sorry for their sins.
But it didn't work. Instead, people just seemed to do what they wanted, and offer sacrifices to get forgiveness.
So God sent Jesus to become a sacrifice for us, John 1:29, John 10:11, Mark 10:45 - instead of THEM offering sacrifices; he would.
Jesus HAS, therefore, saved us from eternal death by reconciling us to God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, giving us eternal life, 1 John 5:12 and peace with God, Romans 5:1. Those who accept this ARE reconciled to God; if they died a few hours afterwards, they would be forgiven and clean, instead of dead in their sins.
Sanctification is a lifelong process, 2 Corinthians 3:18 - and we are told to remain in Jesus, John 15:4, put God first, Matthew 6:33 and continue to walk in the Spirit, Romans 8. We don't DO these things first, and then get saved if we are successful. We can't live IN Jesus, until we have come to him, been saved and forgiven by him and filled with his Spirit.
We are saved by him - then we continue in him until we have been sanctified.
