Those that have read through the whole Bible can clearly see that after man’s fall and throughout the rest of history, God’s desire is the redemption of man’s soul. There are many passages in Scripture that point to this fact. The maximum demonstration of this truth is Jesus. God became flesh (John1:14) with the purpose of saving us. A central verse that explains this truth is John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but has everlasting life.”
There are 2 other passages that are key for the understanding of God’s will and desire. 1st Timothy 2:3-4 “This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” And 2nd Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
This then bring us to the important point where we need to understand that in God’s desire and will, He planned to include you for His purposes. He wants to use you and me to accomplish His redemptive plan. We will expand this theme with more details in the following articles.
