If Christ died for each and every one of us, there'd be no need for a hell, would there? For surely He did not die in vain, right?

Are you saying that as soon as Christ died on the cross, that the "elect" were automatically saved? Because you appear to be stating that if he did die for each and every one, then each and every one are saved due to his death on the cross.

Christ died for each and every one in order to reconcile man to himself.

His death did NOT make salvation automatic (don't exclude the resurrection) for the "elect" or "all" or "non-elect" or what-have-you.

The death makes all men savable, not saved. That some will reject the free offer does not negate the cleansing effect of the Blood which destroys both death and hell at the close of the Millennium, forever.

Even so come Lord Jesus
