God Will Have All Men Be Saved
On this earth there are more than seven billion people!
The most populous lands are China, India, and other parts of Asia, and in spite of missionaries from the West, actually more than half of all people on the earth have never so much as heard the only Name by which men can be saved - the name of Jesus Christ!
This means that billions of people here on this earth have lived, and died, without having known anything about God's provision of salvation - without saving knowledge - neither having heard the only name by which men may be saved!
Now think what that means. If all unsaved are eternally lost, then more than half the people who have ever lived on this earth have been consigned to eternal hell without ever having been given so much as a chance to escape it!
What about the millions of people living now in the modern nations of Red China where the Gospel is suppressed?
Those people did not choose to be born into these godless nations. Are they lost forever because they never heard the true message of God's love in Christ?
Is this their only day of salvation? Are they eternally doomed when they die?
Will a just God and Saviour condemn to eternal damnation those people who died before the true Gospel was ever brought to them?
Is God about to "shut the door" of mercy in their face? -J. Preston Eby-
good point..
