2 Corinthians 5:19... God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
If the world has been reconciled to God and sins will not be held against anyone, why isn’t everyone saved?
Man is certainly better off because Jesus Christ took care of his sin problem on the cross, but there is still a problem. He still lacks something. Know what it is?
