Who is Jesus?

Christ died for all, not a select few. God sent his Son to make salvation possible for all mankind
He died and Justified a select many Isa 53 11

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
 
The elect are the ones that used their free will to except what Jesus did on the cross for all mankind. John 3:16

Any and every man or woman who so desires is capable of responding to the Gospel, being forgiven of their sins, and being assured of eternal life.

Christ died for all, not a select few. God sent his Son to make salvation possible for all mankind
Amen!
 
No Mercy is given to the elect it's not offered to anyone
Don’t you know that a component of God’s all-sufficient grace is His compassionate mercies to all of us who love Him?

2 John 1:3 (NKJV) Grace, mercy, [and] peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

—selah
 
Yea, knock that of with your made up fables. Here is some truth you missed:

Any and every man or woman who so desires is capable of responding to the Gospel, being forgiven of their sins, and being assured of eternal life.

Christ died for all, not a select few. God sent his Son to make salvation possible for all mankind
More fable

His Mercy in Salvation is limited to a elect remnant as well as His Grace
 
"Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone." Is from a Joni Mitchell song from the '60s and it makes me think about what Jesus said.

"I will never leave you or forsake you" that is a biblical promise of divine presence and support, found in Hebrews 13:5 and Deuteronomy 31:6. It conveys that God's presence and help will never abandon believers, especially in difficult times, providing a foundation for confidence and courage against any fear. The promise is a powerful source of assurance for Christians, reflecting God's constant faithfulness and unchanging love for those who are committed to Him.
But we can leave Him. When we don’t recognize the value of relationship with Him until He’s gone. Not that He walks away; He promised He would never do that. God is “gone” from us the same way He was in Eli’s day before the ark was actually taken away.

In many ways, the loss of the ark of the covenant for Israel was just an outward sign of an inward spiritual loss that had occurred long ago. Israel had lost God when they stopped hearing His voice, when they ignored His commands and did “what was right in their own eyes”

25 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
Judges 21:25

You can read more in Judges about their attempt to pull God out of hiding and get Him to do their bidding was proof that they had been without God—the one, true, holy, awesome, loving, and terrifying God—long before that day.

For us, God is gone when we fail to see Him or seek Him. He is gone when we treat Him like a lucky charm, a thing to be stowed away in a dusty chest and pulled out only in a crisis. He is gone when we insist on letting someone else go to Him for us instead of going to Him ourselves.

In all those ways and more, He is gone not because He actually left but because we never really let Him be present in our lives. I wonder if He then finds a way to make His absence felt, like a lover who will be taken for granted no more, just to give us enough pause to recognize what we’ve lost.

After all, He loves it when we seek Him, search for Him. Seeking is what He sent His Son to earth to do for us while we were lost. And seeking is how He wants us to live, like a lover who can’t live without the Beloved. Seeking just might be God’s love language.

But when we begin to ignore or avoid Him, when we lose the recognition of Him as God—sovereign and loving—He is gone.

The Bible gives us the solution in the words of Jesus.

4. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10. f you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
 
Jesus is the best!!! Mans attempt to be like God in the Garden when temped by Satan thru dissonance is happening in Jesus. As we are being transformed into His image by being obedient.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
 
That's not mercy.

Divine willingness to extend mercy is shown in Genesis 18:16–33

16 The men rose up from there and faced toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham [My friend and servant] what I am going to do, [Gal. 3:8.]
18 Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him and shall bless themselves by him? [Gen. 12:2-3.]
19 For I have known (chosen, acknowledged) him [as My own], so that he may teach and command his children and the sons of his house after him to keep the way of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous, so that the Lord may bring Abraham what He has promised him.
20 And the Lord said, Because the shriek [of the sins] of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is exceedingly grievous,
21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether [as vilely and wickedly] as is the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.
22 Now the [two] men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
23 And Abraham came close and said, Will You destroy the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) together with the wicked?
24 Suppose there are in the city fifty righteous; will You destroy the place and not spare it for [the sake of ] the fifty righteous in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as do the wicked! Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth execute judgment and do righteously?
26 And the Lord said, If I find in the city of Sodom fifty righteous (upright and in right standing with God), I will spare the whole place for their sake.
27 Abraham answered, Behold now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord.
28 If five of the fifty righteous should be lacking—will You destroy the whole city for lack of five? He said, If I find forty-five, I will not destroy it.
29 And [Abraham] spoke to Him yet again, and said, Suppose [only] forty shall be found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30 Then [Abraham] said to Him, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak [again]. Suppose [only] thirty shall be found there. And He answered, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
31 And [Abraham] said, Behold now, I have taken upon myself to speak [again] to the Lord. Suppose [only] twenty shall be found there. And [the Lord] replied, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again only this once. Suppose ten [righteous people] shall be found there. And [the Lord] said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33 And the Lord went His way when He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Yes those who have received mercy, understand mercy. Blessed are the merciful for they shall be shown mercy. :)
