For the Whole World

Listen from:
The Sin of mankind is the same in kind, though not in degree, all the wide world over. White man, black man, red man, yellow man, differ in much, but they are all alike in this, that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
The Ransom of Christ, His atoning death for sin and sinners, avails “for all,” and He is the propitiation for “the whole world” (1 John 2:22And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2)). So none need perish, since Christ has died for all.
The Gospel is for “all the world,’’ and to “every creature” in it (Mark 16:1515And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)). There is salvation provided for all, and all are invited, “whosoever will” commanded to “take” it, without cause, and apart from merit.
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Hire should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
