Rom. 5:18 "Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men."
Although I think 5-point Calvinism is clearly everywhere in the Bible, I find this verse difficult, even more because this verse is used to prove the Lutheran rejection of limited atonement. They say ALL are justified through Jesus atoning sacrifice because he took the sins of all men upon himself. The reason why all are not saved is because all don't want to receive it.
Can anyone explain how one should understand Rom. 5:18?
