To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:19-20
Salvation is a two-part process. Christ Jesus died to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world. This took everyone out from under the death penalty and open the door of salvation to all. But, each individual must come to God and Christ Jesus for the forgiveness of their individual sins.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
God threw the lifeline, Christ Jesus, out to all men: those that take hold survive.
