Also, what Christ accomplished in His one just act in going to the cross, actually accomplished something for all mankind whether they believe it or not. Romans 5:18 & 19 state this. Mankind are neutral recipients of the one act of Adam in that death entered and all are made sinners. Thus also, by one just act of Christ, all mankind will be made righteous. THAT IS THE GIFT! And that gift will be received by all mankind. by Eusebius

Your statement is partially true......the free gift of sins being taken away from ALL of mankind makes righteousness AVAILABLE to everyone......however we know that only a small percentage will take advantage of it. If somebody calls you and says you have a cool million in cash in a deposit box in Chicago..........it does NOTHING for you if you stay in Dallas and don't collect it. We access that gift from Jesus by FAITH and simply believing what Jesus has said in the gospel given to Paul..........in the end there will be no universal salvation because getting your sins forgiven is only part of the process of salvation. By faith you believe and Jesus then gives you eternal LIFE in place of your spiritual death from Adam..............

It is more than spiritual death because all in Adam die a literal death - Romans 5:12; 3:23

Adam became 'spiritually dead' the day he broke God's Law, but Adam also died a 'literal death' at age 930.
Dead Adam ' returned ' to the dust of the ground - Genesis 3:19
A person can Not ' return ' to a place he never was before. Adam simply went back returning to where he started.

All the people Jesus' resurrected while on earth had a healthy physical resurrection back to life on earth.
Jesus was giving us a small preview, or coming attraction, of what Jesus will later do for most of the dead during his 1,000-year governmental rulership over earth. All who died before Jesus died are Not called to heaven, including King David - Acts 2:34. They can have a healthy physical resurrection back to life on earth with the opportunity to life forever on earth as originally offered to Adam before his downfall. As originally offered to Adam, they too can have the opportunity to gain 'everlasting life' on a beautiful paradisical 'earth' under Christ's millennium-long day of governing over earth, or over earthly subjects of God's kingdom.- Psalm 72:8,12-14

Also, we are nearing the soon coming ' time of separation ' on earth - Matthew 25:31-33- when the living figurative ' sheep' can remain alive on earth, and live through the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14, and continue living on earth right into the start of Jesus' millennial reign over earth when Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill.

Religion will never bring peace, and goodwill to all men.
While it continues to build on the notion of separation.

Were the 1st-century teachings of Jesus divided or separated ?
Until the political turns on the religious there is No hope for humanity that rationality and reason will become the norm.
The United Nations already sees a hauntingly dangerous religious climate brewing in today's world.
Especially with religious extremism. With backing the UN can be strengthened to become God's modern-day arm of the law to turn on this world's false religious groups who have run afoul playing false to God and His Word.
We are nearing the final signal, so to speak, of 1st Thess. 5:2-3 when ' they ' ( powers that be ) will be saying," Peace and Security " as a precursor to the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14.
Jesus then, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill - Matthew 25:31-33
Jesus is the Shepherd who will separate the humble 'sheep' from the haughty ' goats '.
Jesus is also the righteous Warrior King who will destroy the wicked by the words from his mouth - Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:11,14-15 - before Jesus starts his millennium-long day of governing over earth.
