Paul's application of the theology confirms the universal-extent, limited-application reading: the missions mandate

Limited Atonement, Universalism and why I disagree with both. 00:16:28 – 00:17:31

How Paul applies his theology tells us what his real theology is; his application is the missions mandate.

Paul concludes from 'God reconciled the world to himself' that we are now 'ambassadors for Christ' imploring people to be reconciled. This application only makes sense if Jesus paid for everyone. If atonement were limited to the elect, the logical application would be to find and tell the elect — not to plead with the world at large.
