1 Timothy 2:5-6, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
1 John 2:2, "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
I would like to know if any of the learned folks here can explain these verses better than I can? My understanding is that Christ meant the "all" in Timothy to mean "all of His elect." And that the "world" in 1 john is meaning not just ethnic Israel or the currently known geography and nations, but from all nations.
Am I making this too simplistic? Thanks in advance. -sjm
