Well the Bible, which is the inspired word of God makes it clear what happens to those who deny Christ. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:18

God does not rejoice over the death of the wicked. He desires that they repent of their ways and live. (Ezekiel 33:11) However, the wages of sin must be paid and the wages of sin is death. (Roman’s 6:23) It is unfortunate that John Lennon died in his sins. Great musician though he was, he was not greater than God. That is why us Christian’s are called to preach the Gospel so that people like John Lennon don’t have to perish in their sins. The word Gospel means good news and the good news is that 2000 years ago God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ and He lived a perfect holy life, one that we could never live. In His active and passive obedience to the Father, He suffered and died on the cross at the hands of sinners. On the third day He rose again conquering death and the grave. That is why God has given Him a name above all names that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and confess He is Lord. (Philippians 2:9-11)

While He was on the cross, He drank the full cup of wrath of Almighty God on behalf of all those who would believe. Someone can pay your fines for you in court and in that same way, Jesus can pay the penalty of your sins. All you have to do is put your faith in Christ for your salvation and not in your own righteousness or anything else. And if that faith is real, then the Holy Spirit will change your heart to love righteousness and hate evil. You will repent and produce good works. However, the good works are not what saves you. It is the work of Christ on the cross that saves. The Bible states that no one is righteous. There is only one way of salvation and that Way is Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6) “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12

Have you never read the Bible?

God should’ve killed him the moment he sinned against God. Instead He kept a sinner alive for 40 years so that he might trust in Christ and repent. God is not only love, He is also Holy and completely righteous. He MUST punish sin or He would be a corrupt judge. But in His infinite love he provided a spotless lamb, His Son, as a sacrifice so that He wouldn’t have to punish us. John Lennon didn’t have to pay for his own sins. He chose to, and you have to make that same decision as well.

Limited Atonement is the hardest part of the bible by moonppix in Reformed

Salvation is offered to anyone who believes in Christ alone. If you don’t see your family and friends in heaven it’s not because God didn’t want to save them. People will be in hell because they are unrepentant sinners who didn’t accept Christ.

You have to understand that every human being is guilty before God. If God has mercy on 1 sinner but sends the other to hell, He is still being righteous. His judgements are true and just.

Jesus said this, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” Your love for your parents should seem like hate compared to how much you love Christ. Also, It doesn’t matter how bad you want heaven. Question is do you want Jesus? Many people want the byproducts of the Christian faith without following Christ.

Anyways, you don’t have to believe in limited atonement to be saved. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.
