Please don't say nobody. There is a reason for his death and he said to the pharisees that they weren't his sheep.

Jesus did not die for those that the Father had not given him. His sheep know his voice, the goats don't. This is the doctrine of particular redemption.
If Jesus died for the sins of everyone, then wouldn't everyone be forgiven? If Hell is to be denied, we don't get that idea from the Bible! Neither is anyone in Hell, forgiven.
Jesus didn't spin a roulette wheel, hoping that everyone would come to Him. His death didn't make a down payment for "all you have to do" decisions at a later point where we make the actual purchase of salvation.
God is in charge of salvation, we aren't. There is no transaction where God goes 50%, we go 50%. It's not even God 99%, us 1%. It's God entirely, changing the hearts of the Elect.
Don't get me wrong, He doesn't owe anyone, anything. No one merits Heaven on their own. No one is innocent, everyone lies under the federal representation of Adam, lost without God, no fellowship with Him whatsoever without His intervention. That's why faith is such a wonderful gift.

He died for every body who will come to believe in him.
