"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4
Let’s put salvations meanings in this verse. God wants all men to be preserved. God wants all men to be delivered from danger and evil. God wants all men to be healthy and safe. God wants all men to be delivered from the power, presence, pleasure, and penalty of sin. And God wants all men to be delivered from everything that would hinder us from having all of His blessings!
As Christians we love to talk about yesterday, Moses, David, and the Apostles; the Bible is full of great men and women of faith, and we love to tell of their heroic adventures, and we should! We love to talk about tomorrow, Heaven, when Jesus returns, and how wonderful it will be, our glorious future, our redeemed bodies, it is awesome, it’s glorious, and we should talk about these things! Though while our past was great and our future is glorious, we live in today and we tend to shy away from today, yet today is where the needs are. Tell someone that lives in a dangerous neighborhood, with gangs and killings, or someone who is dying, that in the future, Heaven and the return of Christ will be better. Sure you will be proclaiming a truth, but they have an overwhelming need for God’s eternal solutions today. Today is where the need is, and today there is an answer, and the answer is salvation through Jesus Christ. Salvation provides health, safety, and protection! Salvation, offers physical, spiritual, and soulful benefits for this day. The nice thing about this day, is it will always be here. Tomorrows never come, it will always and forever be today, and salvation is always and forever for today. We are eternally blessed in this Truth!
