General Atonement

General Atonement refers to the belief that Jesus Christ's death was sufficient to provide forgiveness for all people universally. It emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice was intended to make salvation available to everyone, though only those who believe will benefit from it. Unlike particular atonement, which limits atonement to the elect, general atonement holds that the death of Christ effectively covers the sins of all humanity, removing the barrier of sin and enabling individuals to choose to accept God's grace. It portrays Christ’s sacrifice as universally effective, aiming for the ultimate redemption of all people.
