Yes, the reconciliation is an accomplished fact for all men; however, the finished work of reconciliation does no one any good unless it is apprehended through the ministry of reconciliation (i.e., the means of grace). God has caused the word to go forth in preaching and in the sacraments that the Holy Spirit may work faith when and where it pleases God.
Pray tell, how is your "universal reconciliation" different from that of the Arminians who believe exactly what you are proposing. It is this very same heresy which was proposed by the Remonstrance in 1617 by the followers of Jacobus Arminius which was rejected by unanimous vote in 1619 by representatives of the Protestant churches.

How is even conceivable that one for whom Christ died secured reconciliation with God will spend eternity in everlasting punishment? [Linked Image]
