 The New Testament speaks of Christ as the one Saviour for all people.The First Epistle of John says that Jesus is "the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the world" ().Adherents of unlimited atonement interpret this to mean that Jesus' redemptive role is for all people without exception, while adherents of limited atonement interpret it as being for all people without "distinction"—for Gentiles as well as Jews.
