The word "reconciled" is translated from the Greek word katallássō which means decisively change, as when two parties reconcile when coming ("changing") to the same position.
God (the Party of the first part) established His eternal purpose in eternity past ... and He reconciled Himself to mankind through the death of His Son.
The believer (the party of the second part) is reconciled at the time he/she believes. At that point, both parties (God and the believer) came to the same position.
Those who reject God even as He reaches out to them are not reconciled to God ... not because God has not made provision for them, but because they reject that which God has provided for them to be reconciled to God.
Please note Paul also tells them WHEN "it was done !" :
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Reconciliation takes place when a person believes ... i.e. the yet now of Col 1:21 ... not in eternity past.

the Lord Jesus Christ died for all mankind ... all descendants of Adam:
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
If they are "dead to God", then they are not "elect".
... the Lord Jesus Christ died for all mankind ... all descendants of Adam.
... outright blasphemy ... why do you allow such thoughts to come to your mind ... you need to reject these lies of the adversary the moment they enter your mind. however, you not only entertain the lies, you then submit them online in an open forum. smh
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

continue reading in John 12, brightfame52 ... here are verses within the context which you ignore in your futile attempt to align Scripture to your erroneous dogma:
John 12:35-36 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
... continue reading John 12:
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
All drawn will either believe on Him ... or reject Him.
Those who believe will become children of light (John 12:36) and will not abide in darkness (John 12:46).
Those who reject will be judged in the last day (John 12:48).
John 12:32 was not speaking of the day of His power.
In John 12:32 the Lord Jesus Christ was speaking of His crucifixion. According to John 12:33, He knew what death He would would suffer ...
Acts 8:12 speaks of His crucifixion as His humiliation and Hebrews 12:2 tells us He endured the cross, despising the shame ...
Believers are instructed to consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds (Hebrews 12:3).
