NOT OF MEN'S WORKS, BUT BY GOD'S GRACE, SALVATION IS PROVIDED FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
Each of the following statements are Biblical truths, yet there is a demonic effort underway to change this message. (Even if you know these truths, it is a good idea to review them and recognize the love and longsuffering of God).
God is not a "respecter of persons."
In other words, God does not play favorites with mankind.
He loves the whole sinful world, and, inexplicably, at the same time there is Divine hatred for sin and sinners, yet He calls even those who reject Him.
He loves the entire world to such an extent that He has sacrificed His Own Son, in order to take away our sins, in order to save whosoever will call upon His name.
God is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
God is the Savior of all men, though all men will not be saved, because not all men will believe on Christ and receive Him as Lord and Savior.
Some of God's children are closer to God than some of His other children, because they choose to be close.
HOWEVER, God did not choose to make salvation available to only a chosen few, while ignoring or celebrating the damnation of others. God, in love and in justice and in mercy has made sacrifice for all, but only those who believe, confess, repent and follow Jesus are saved. God makes it possible for anyone to turn, therefore it is not a matter of God being a respecter of persons.
God is just in justifying and God is just in judging.
God saves no one either by caprice or favoritism.
God chose to offer salvation through Divine sacrifice and human faith.
God chose the way of salvation (grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus), and aside from that way, there is no salvation.
God forces no one to be saved and He does not exclude anyone from the possibility of being saved.
The elect or chosen of God are those who have come to God through faith in Christ. The elect are elect because they came to God on God's terms.
Now, go and share this good news with other people.
