“Jesus death is sufficient to have saved all because the penalty of all sin was paid for. “If any man sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, and he is the expiation for our sins, and not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

All, however, don’t accept.”

I find myself in complete agreement with you.

I would simply add that accepting something is a passive activity, not grounded in the receiver, whereas rejecting something is an active activity grounded in the will of the rejector.

For example, I can “receive” a military medal posthumously. And we speak of it in such terms: “So and so received the MOH which was presented to his wife.”

There is no act of the soldier; merely an act of the giver of the medal.
