GOSPEL NUGGET #15

1Ti 4:10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE.

Some say: "Your God is a failure because He failed to save every single sinner in the world. Even right this moment, many are suffering in the place of torment and many more will be in the Lake of fire in eternity."

Our Answer

If God planned and decided to save every single sinner in the world INCLUDING UNREPENTANT SINNERS, then God certainly has failed. But if God has planned and decided to save sinners WHO REPENT, then God has not failed. So far, 100% of the time, He has saved every single sinner who repents and trust in the Savior.

Christ's salvation is sufficient for all but effective and is applied only to those who believe or trust in Him.
