He is exclusive and inclusive.The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:15 that Jesus \\u201c\\u2026died for all, so those who live [will] receive His new life\\u201d. That means Jesus died for you, and me, and your neighbor down the street, and everybody. Jesus created humanity, and He desires a relationship with everyone.
