(Timothy 2: 5-6) "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ man, who gave himself a ransom for all, of which testimony was given in due time. "
For how many was Jesus Christ given in ransom? Not only for some, but for all, brother and sister. Jesus Christ paid the price for everyone and he did it with the purpose that everyone would prove salvation. If that was what he did, would it not be completely contradictory to say that God has in fact only chosen some of those for whom he gave His Son, which basically means that he did not choose (that is, rejected) the others? Imagine that you went to prison and love all the prisoners, so much that you paid the highest price possible for God that price was His Son - to free them. How many would you like to see free? I believe that everyone.
Now imagine that some chose to stay in prison. How would you feel? Would not you feel very sad about it soon? You paid the highest price for them! You want them out! I would be very sad if some decided to stay and I think so also God. He gave His Son, paid the highest possible price for all and what do you think? He wants everyone to take advantage of what he made available. He wants everyone to be free "from the power of darkness and be transferred to the kingdom of His beloved Son" (Colossians 1:13).
(John 3: 16-18)"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. Because God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved by him. He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God loved thworld (using our example of the prisoners: He loved all the prisoners, not just some) and for all the world, for ALL, He gave His Son why? "The doctrine according to which God has only chosen some human beings to be saved, which implies then that he has also chosen others to go to hell is a very false doctrine and has put people to sleep thinking in which God will save those whom He wants. That is not true. Brothers and sisters, we have the responsibility to speak the Word, looking for opportunities to spread the gospel, that is something that is in us. Speak the Word, tell the prisoners "get out of prison." If they are going to leave or it is not in their hands, it is their responsibility. But it is our responsibility to tell them. It is our responsibility to teach the Father. As much as the father concerns him, he wants with all his heart that all come to him.O that the world is saved by him". When God gave His Son he was not only pointing to only one part of the world but to the whole world! He does not want to just release some prisoners but all the prisoners. Salvation is God's option for all, because it was for all that he paid the respective price. There is no man on the face of the earth for whom God has chosen to be lost.
God, without doubt, has an important role in salvation, the most important. But we have our own responsibilities and God also gives responsibilities. 2 Corinthians 5: 18-21 is very clear about our role in reconciling men with God.
(Corinthians 5: 18-21)"And all this comes from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not taking men into account of their sins, and entrusting to us the word of reconciliation. So, we areambassadors in the name of Christ, as if God would pray through us; we pray in the name of Christ: Reconcile with God. To him who knew no sin, he made us sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
By giving His Son, God reconciled the world to Himself. In other words, the door to God is now open. Using again the example of the prisoners, the doors of the prison are all open! But the prisoners are blind. You can not see it. They are blinded by the god of this age (2 Corinthians 4: 4), the devil, so they can not see the salvation that is available to them. So, someone needs to tell these people: "The door to God is open now. Please reconcile with God. For he made a sin to him that knew no sin, that we might be justified before him. "This, to say it, the introduction of the people to the Lord, is the ministry of reconciliation. And who has that ministry? The answer is very simple: we It is our responsibility to tell people. It is we who are the ambassadors of Christ. If you want something from a foreign country you have to call the embassy of that country, the representatives, the "ambassadors" of that country. For God, the ambassadors are us. God opened the prison doors. He reconciled the world to himself by giving His Son. Now we, the ones who were once prisoners, blind, we have to tell those who are still prisoners and blind "come to God, the door is open".
The doctrine according to which God has only chosen some human beings to be saved, which implies then that he has also chosen others to go to hell is a very false doctrine and has put people to sleep thinking in which God will save those whom He wants. That is not true. Brothers and sisters, we have the responsibility to speak the Word, looking for opportunities to spread the gospel, that is something that is in us. Speak the Word, tell the prisoners "get out of prison." If they are going to leave or it is not in their hands, it is their responsibility. But it is our responsibility to tell them. It is our responsibility to teach the Father. As much as the father concerns him, he wants with all his heart that all come to him.
