Jesus legally owns his life in all men because its his life.
Before the fall the light of all men went out by the power of death in his life, but his life still remained in all men
In the beginning the light of all men which was the life of Jesus was created in Adam in heaven. All mankind before the fall.
John 1
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made

The world did not recognise him
Because the world had there lights puts out by the power of his death in his life.
John 1 true light of all men was coming to the world
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him

Light coming into the world is useless to those who do not recognize it. Here we go a quick bible lesson, the word "world" in that verse refers to the non elect, unbelievers and the reprobate.
You always need to look for the context of every word. Most people think of the globe when they hear the word world, but you and I know better my friend.

It really is! It's like God is not only cruel enough to create a people to murder, but then He mocks them time and again.
No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
All kinds of verses and yet they cannot obey! How cruel if God were really like that? Never in the Bible does it say a person cannot repent, it says they WILL NOT repent. Big difference.
The "gospel" of Calvin is offensive and heresy. That God would create a people to murder. A people that are doomed, who cannot be saved. Not that they will not, but they cannot. Just an evil belief altogether. I spent over 21yrs in evangelism, traveling miles from the comfort of my home to tell people that Jesus saves and delivers. That there is hope and that is in Christ. As far as Calvinists are concerned I'd have done as much good if I had shot myself in the foot. I have missionary friends that were able to go much farther than I was able to to bring the world to other nations. How selfish must one be to believe Jesus is just for them and no one else. If Calvin made it to heaven he has a lot to answer for.
God is a God of the living.
Life from his life.
First life was created in heaven before life was re created on earth.
Gen 1
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
