TRULY EMBRACING THE SCRIPTURES



Over the years many, including pastors, ministers and others affiliated have suggested that I am being too negative and expecting too much from our Savior. Shouldn't I be satisfied that Jesus saves at least a few—like the small flock or the narrow gate? Is not a FIFTY PERCENT success rate commendable, even if FIFTY PERCENT of humanity is ultimately lost and eternally tormented in a lake of fire? Is FIVE PERCENT considered a GOOD RETURN on His investment according to our Heavenly Father?





Do you believe that if Jesus saves FIFTY percent of humanity, it would be deemed "good and acceptable" in the eyes of His Father?


NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Let's take a look at what percentage is "good and acceptable" to God the Father:
"For THIS is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Savior, Who desires ALL men [Not five percent or fifty percent, but ALL] to be saved..." (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
Jesus DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. That aspect of His mission is complete ("IT IS FINISHED" John 19:30). The sins of the entire world have already been forgiven,
"And He [Jesus-SAVIOUR] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours alone, but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD" (1 John 2:2).
And,
"That is, in Christ, God was reconciling THE WORLD to Himself, NOT counting their sins against them" (2 Corinthians 5:19).

So why isn't the entire world saved NOW?


Because "dying for the sins of the world" is not the entirety of the mission. What else remains?
The answer is: JUDGMENT and KNOWLEDGE!
"And just as it is appointed for people to die once, and after that comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
"Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4).
"For the EARTH will be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14).
"For when Your [God's] JUDGMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will LEARN [that's KNOWLEDGE] righteousness" (Isaiah 26:9).

Be assured that Jesus [Jehovah-SAVIOUR] will not fail to complete His comMISSION. And don’t let anyone tell you that Jesus is merely the "potential" Savior of the world and that the act of being saved is solely dependent on man!
One cannot be the "potential Saviour of the world" and yet NOT save the world, because that would prove that the "potential" was never genuinely there in the first place.
Jesus cannot be the "SAVIOR OF THE WORLD" and yet, NOT SAVE THE WORLD!
The truth is Jesus is going to do EVERYTHING he was sent to do. He is not a liar, he is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!
