Cameron, good to hear from you and you ask a great question!
Christ died for our sins. Please notice “sins”, plural. That means past, present, and yes future. He died once! Should He have to die again each time we continue to sin? I think not!
The price has been paid. Knowing this should not make us sin even more, but mourn the fact that we are such weak creatures, in constant need of His grace and sanctification.

And just think: If it were not for God's grace, we'd still be tares or children of the wicked one!
The Elect ARE SAVED!
So, are you now saying the Elect/World might be saved?
Because the world Jesus is speaking about in John 3:16-17 might be saved.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
So the world in verse 16/17 cannot be the Elect because they "ARE SAVED," they are not in the category of "MIGHT BE SAVED" like Jesus spoke about.

I think you know already that my position is that we were all once enemies of God, hostile in our minds toward Him. Scripture says as much. And you have heard swaths of my testimony. You know I was fairly heartily dead set against the God of the Bible. That He drew me with loving kindness. But people who die in unbelief are not forgiven. And once we believe, all sins are cleansed from our record.
