God offers eternal salvation to all without exception... - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
Titus 2:11.

God offers eternal salvation to all without exception. Nobody will be lost because he did not have the possibility to be saved. But not everyone is prepared to accept God's grace. Consequently people make God's counsel ineffective, as Jesus Christ once said of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 7:30).

"God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4), but He compels no-one.

When Christ was on earth, He bewailed the fact that they would not come to Him to have life (John5:40). And of the city of Jerusalem He said: "How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wing, but you were not willing" (Matthew 23:37).

It is no different today: many refuse to believe in God. They will not see that they are lost and need Christ as their Saviour. Nevertheless, whoever opens his heart to God and His Word acknowledges his guilt and lost state. What good news it is for him, that God wishes to save mankind, and that whoever wants God's salvation can obtain it.

This question applies to everyone: are you ready and willing to be saved? God's arms are outstretched to receive you. You need only come to Him, confessing that you are lost. If you confess you sins to Him and accept Jesus Christ's work of redemption by faith, you will be saved. Won't you do so today?
