Christ Himself limits the purpose of His death when He said, "I lay down my life for the sheep." (John 10:14, 15)
* Christ laid His life down for the sheep, His friends (John 15:13), and the Church (Acts 20:28; John 15:13). This cannot include the reprobate.

I never said it included reprobates. My orginal point was we have the choice to be a sheep or a reprobate. The verse I quoted says man is to look to God if you wish to be saved. God gave Jesus to be our way to salvation. We choose to accept or reject it. That is the only thing that we are called upon to do, accept or reject.

John 6:28-29 Then said they unto him What shall we do that we might work the works of God. Jesus answered and said unto them This is the work of God that ye believe on him who he hath sent.
