Does God want ALL to be saved? 1 Timothy 2:3-4 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

IF / SINCE God wants all to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4 All will not be saved. Matthew 7:13-14 Narrow way to life, few find it Matthew 7:21-23 Not all who call on His name Can God save everyone, if He wants to? If all will not be saved – Which is it? God can't save all men. God really does not want to save everyone.

God's Will Decretive Will – The decrees (commands, rules, laws) of God Emotional Will – What God wishes, desires, seeks, wants Does the decree of God overrule His desire? What is the problem with saving all men? Did God predetermine that some would be saved and others lost? Did Jesus die for all men?

God's Will There is a weakness to this line of questions and logic. We must reason (think, use logic) the way God reasons. God wanted Israel to obey the 10 Commandments. He also gave punishments for those who violated those commands.

God's Will God knows, in His infinite foreknowledge, that some will be lost. With knowlege that they would not chose to obey Him, He created them anyway. Does God act against His own will? He wants men to be saved – He has the power to save – But many will be lost. How do we solve this problem?

God's Will There are 2 wills of God. God has made a decree. His desire will not void His decree. Ezekiel 18:23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord God, "and not that he should turn from his ways and live? But God has decrees.

God's Will 1 John 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, God has decreed – faith, love, repentance

Man's Choice God wants husbands to love their wives – Ephesians 5:25 Not all husbands love their wives. This is not the fault of God or His power. It is man who violates the decree of God.

Man's Choice Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing Jesus desired for them to come to Him They were not willing – their choice

Man's Choice Free moral agent = Man was given the freedom to choose good or evil, right or wrong, obedience or rebellion. The gospel is preached to all men God wants all to believe, repent, and obey Most men will choose to reject the offer.

Your Choice You are free today. You can choose. God wants you to believe, repent, and obey His commands for baptism, worship, moral life, and work in His vineyard. As we sing the song of invitation, you have that choice. God wants you to be saved. It is up to you.
