It that were true why not just put it in the bible that way. But John 3:16 says: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life....

Some might be confused about Jesus’ love for humanity when the Bible highlights specific individuals and describes them as those He loved. One of them was His disciple, John. It says in John 13:23, “There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved”
Other individuals specifically identified as those Jesus loved were Mary, Martha, their brother, Lazarus, and the rich young ruler. John 11:5 says of the three siblings, “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” Mark 10:21 says of the rich young ruler, “Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.’”
However, even though these individuals are highlighted in Scripture as ones Jesus loved, the Bible also declares that Jesus loves every human, not just a few. Consider what John 3:16 proclaims: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Likewise, Jesus said in John 15:9, “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.” Furthermore, 1 John 4:19 states, “We love because He first loved us.” Also, Romans 5:8 affirms, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
It should also be noted that Jesus’ love does not vary based on each individual. In other words, Jesus does not love some more than others. Instead, He loves everyone equally because Jesus is love, and love originates and emanates from Him. 1 John 4:8 says, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” It also declares in 1 John 4:7(a), “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God.”
I hope this information helps you understand that Jesus loves everyone equally despite the Bible describing specific individuals as those He loved.
God bless!

You are ignoring the point
Any unbeliever is a part of the world Christ came to save
John 12:47 (LEB) — 47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

The Death of Christ gives Life, Spiritual life. Nothing here says otherwise
As usual you continue to ignore scripture
Any unbeliever is a part of the world Christ came to save
John 12:47 (LEB) — 47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

It seems you do not even comprehend what the point is as you keep avoiding it.

Totally mindless repetition.

That verse speaks of the extent of the atonement. It shows it to be unlimited, and you will not address it.

Again avoiding the issue
John 12:47 (LEB) — 47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Why does god not judge any unbeliever at this time according to the text
