Salvation for all
Then I will teach wrongdoers your ways,
and sinners will come back to you. ~ Psalm 51:13 (CEB)
This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. ~ 1 Timothy 2:3-4 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
God desires salvation for all people .
PRAYER:
Thank you, God for being our rescuer. I wish that I could whole-heartedly desire the same for all. But there are people that, truth be told, I'd enjoy seeing escorted to hell. Replace my wishes with your passion. I want the passion of Christ the Savior to replace that of me the hard hearted judge. Amen.
