Let me guide you to the appropriate understanding of the scripture. In order to prevent confusion among your listeners: The bible's answer to the question "Did Christ Die For Sinners?" is a resounding "Yes." The bible centers on the doctrine of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. According to the bible Jesus' death on the cross was a substitutionary atonement, where He took upon Himself the punishment that sinners deserve for their sins. To explore this further, we can turn to various passages in the Bible that affirm Christ's sacrificial death for sinners: 1. Romans 5:8 (ESV) - "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This verse highlights the depth of God's love for sinners. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still in a state of sinfulness and rebellion against Him. 2. 1 Peter 2:24 (ESV) - "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds, you have been healed." Here, Peter emphasizes that Jesus bore our sins on the cross, taking the penalty for our wrongdoing, so that we might be set free from sin's power and enabled to live a life of righteousness. 3. Isaiah 53:5 (ESV) - "But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds, we are healed." This Old Testament prophecy foreshadows Jesus' sacrificial death, where He suffered for our sins, bringing us peace with God and spiritual healing. 4. John 10:11 (ESV) - "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." Jesus Himself described His mission as the Good Shepherd who willingly lays down His life for His sheep, which symbolizes His people, the believers. 5. 1 Timothy 1:15 (ESV) - "The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost." The apostle Paul declares that the very purpose of Jesus' coming into the world was to save sinners, and Paul acknowledges himself as one of those saved by God's grace. The bible is clear on this not just Calvin. According to the scriptures, Christ's death on the cross is the centerpiece of God's redemptive plan for humanity. It is through Christ's atoning sacrifice that sinners can be forgiven, justified, and reconciled to God. His death is the means by which sinners can be saved from the penalty and power of sin, and it is by God's grace alone that anyone can receive this gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
A slight critique: The John padsage clearly states Christ, the good shepherd, lays down His life for THE sheep, not specifically His sheep as you immediately stated afterwards. In all passages related to sheep, He speaks to all sheep but only His sheep listen and obey, but He still died for the sheep. Additionally we look at 1 John 2:2 "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." Not only our sins, being believers, but also everyones sins are covered, but only applied when they come through faith to Him.
I have three questions for you. (1) Did Christ die for the fallen angels ? (2) If Christ died for all mankind why is the unpardonable sin unpardonable ? (3) On the day that Jesus died did he pay for the sins of those that where already in Hell ?
He also bought false Prophets. “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” - 2 Peter 2:1

Hello. Your third point, that Limited Atonement hinders evangelism is simply false, and history proves this to be the case. Calvinist have played a huge role in the spread of the Gospel for the last few hundred years and here are some names: 1. William Carey - He has been called the father of modern missions: 19th century Particular Baptist 2. Johnathan Edwards - Gave the Sermon: Sinners in the hand of a angry God. - 18th century Congregationalist preacher 3. Charels Spurgeon - Often called the Prince of Preachers. -19th century Particular Baptist 4. Adoniram Judson - Missionary to Burma for 40 years. 19th century Congregationalist / Particular Baptist 5. George Whitefield - It's estimated he preached some 18,000 sermons and to approximately 10 million people in his time; between Great Britain and her American Colonies. 18 century Anglican minister. Many seminary students who graduated from Geneva in the time of Calvin, went into Roman Catholic Italy, and as far away as Brazil, to spread the Gospel knowing they could lose their lives and many did. To say that Reformed Theology has a built in deterrence to evangelism is not true. The problem is not the theology but men, we are by nature unevangelistic. And there are plenty of Provisionist, Calvinist, Arminians, IFB, Evangelicals, etc.. who fail in the area of evangelizing the lost, it's a problem that goes across denominational lines. Have a blessed day.
You aren't Saved because you chose to accept Jesus. You're Saved because GOD chose to accept you before the Foundation of the World (Ephesians 1 and 2) The Greek meaning of the word "Drawn" by the Father to the Son is " As fish being pulled in a net". "Drawing a Sword from a sheath." "To Drag". You're Saved because God chose you out of a Sea of Sinners, to be washed clean of your Sins by the Blood of Jesus and Given to His Son. Yes you confessed Jesus and believed in your heart that God raised him from the Dead and were Saved, but only because you were Engaged by GOD first and you learned by being taught by God First ( John 6:45) then God Granted your Repentance ( 2nd Timothy 2:5) and you were Saved. Even your Faith was given to you as Romans 12:3 explains. So you see now? Jesus(God), truly IS the "Author and finisher of your Faith", just as it says in Hebrews 12:2. 😇 The Whole Bible has always taught the Total Sovereignty of GOD, and this is what The Reformed Doctrine has always been about. This is what the Scripture Teaches.
Find me a sinner. A REAL sinner, someone who will freely admit that they are without help, without hope, and without Christ, bound for hell unless God almighty intervenes. A sinner by nature and by choice. Someone without so much as a tiny spark of goodness or faith within them. I wish you the best in your search.
these are great... keep up the good work ❤🙏✝️🙏

Christ died for his bride. The Bible literally says so
