    ==True, and any careful study of the text will quickly reveal that. Not only does Paul use the terms "us" and "we" over and over again through this section (vss6-11) he also makes clear that the people he is talking about have been justified (vs9), saved from the wrath of God (vs9), reconciled to God (vs10), and have already recieved "the reconciliation" (vs11). Any attempt to apply this section of Scripture to every person on earth (past, present, and future) is clearly a product of ignoring what the text actually says. The people Paul is talking about in Romans 5:8 are those who have been saved. He is not talking about those who will never be saved.
