Sure you right !
Those verses apply to the goats Mat 25:41; the devil's children Mat. 13:38-39!
But I am one of His Sheep He gave His Life for John 10:11,15.
Christ knows me, and I know Him intimately John 10:14, 27!

Salvation has been provided for all. It becomes ours by simple faith in Christ, not because we were chosen to receive it. What makes you think that you have been chosen?
God chose all of humanity in Jesus Christ, not just some, Hebrews 2:9.
That's salvation by works, by what a person does!See Jn 6, otherwise this election stuff will bypass Christ once again. "It was God's will that everyone who believes on the Son would have eternal life." So Christ was elected by God. There is no direct election. All of humanity is appealed to but they must also realize that God only works through Christ.
That's salvation by works, by what a person does!
If Christ has died for ones sins, by that fact alone they are Justified, made Right with God or Made Righteous before Him. For Christ has paid the price of their Redemption by His Blood, which Blood forever pleads their discharge from all iniquity and the consequences thereof Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
The Phrase "that he might" is stating what the Divine Purpose is for Christ dying, which results in them he died for being redeemed from ALL Iniquity, If that did not happen based solely upon His giving Himself for them, the Divine Purpose failed !
By His Knowledge [of His Own Sheep] shall He Justifiy many ! How and Why ? Because He shall bear their Iniquities 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.
This plainly states that His bearing their Iniquity resulted in Him Justifying the Many !
Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Being redeemed from all iniquity is Justification !
They were Justified by His stripes 1 Pet 2:24 and not by their Faith, or not by their repentance, not even by believing the Gospel, in fact it was a fact [their Justification before God] even while they were enemies Rom 5:10 !

They were Justified by His stripes 1 Pet 2:24 and not by their Faith, or not by their repentance, not even by believing the Gospel, in fact it was a fact [their Justification before God] even while they were enemies Rom 5:10 !
So Faith and Repentance are given specifically for the acknowledgment of the Truth 1 Tim. 2:25!
For Belief of the Truth is the evidence that one has been selected by God and Chosen to Salvation:
Justification by the blood/obedience of Christ.2
Its the same principle as when its written that God Loved Jacob and hated esau before they had any being or existence to do good or evil acts Rom 9:11
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
Paul emphasis here is on the fact that the children had not yet been born into physical existence, hence God is considering them without a being yet, for one cannot act in time good or evil if they dont exist in time !
So you see, those whom Christ died, while they are yet unborn, His One act of Obedience, shedding His blood, shall make them Righteous. So how could ones act of faith or believing before they existed have anything to do with making them righteous ? Thats why Paul says its by the Obedience of One ! This Truth the natural man cannot receive !
Amen exactly!Yes, exactly, and so the natural man attempts to become righteous by his / her own acts of obedience, or their personal cooperation (faith, believing), but it's all in vain: Works of the flesh which is filthiness in the sight of God Is. 64:6.
But for those chosen In Union with Christ before the foundation of the world Eph. 1:4, only His One Obedience was required to make those many Righteous Rom. 5:19; the Many He shed His Blood for are made Righteous by His Obedience alone, not theirs Rom. 5:19.
Mat. 20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
1 Pet. 1:18-20
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

Justified solely by His Death!2
Another proof from scripture that says that the Elect of God, those Christ died for are Justified before God while they are enemies and unbelievers, even before they believe, is the public discharge God gave Christ at His resurrection from the dead. Setting Christ free from death was judicially setting the Elect He died for free from death, the death owed for the wages of their sins as per Rom 6:23!
Hence it is written that Christ as Surety was delivered for [because of] our offences and was raised again for [because of] our Justification. Rom 4:25
The resurrection of Christ is Gods own public declaration that every sinner Christ died for is Justified, discharged from their sins and eternal death they deserved.
Amen that you can receive the Truth, God is good to Israel.Amen to both parts!
Christ's Blood alone saved His Elect Children He who were Chosen in Him in Love John 3:16-17 to be Holy and blameless Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet. 1:20.
Rev. 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
