God's will regarding your salvation

Have you ever doubted whether you are saved? Because you are not sure of the consequences of your actions or your level of faith?

Or do you doubt if God wants everyone to be saved? That there's a group of people who are included and another group that is left out?

Fortunately, the Bible is very clear on this:

The Lord does not delay the promise (as some see as slowness), but he is patient with us and he does not want any to perish, but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

So, it says that God doesn't want anyone to perish. He wants everyone to repent.

To make this possible, he made a tremendous act of love:

He sent his only begotten Son so our sins would be paid for. As a result, we can now claim our salvation. Jesus did not come to judge but to save the world through Him, through His death and resurrection (John 3:17).

God is a good God. His will for your salvation is not based on how you behave. Or in paying for your bad deeds first before your salvation comes (again). No, God is merciful, and he wants to give you a way out through the blood of his Son so that you will not be lost.

So you can see that it is more than certain that it is God's will for all to be saved, including you. You don't have to do anything for that except repent and accept Jesus as your Savior. But that is not all.

John 3:16-17 says that God wants everyone to repent and receive eternal life. That eternal life is more than it seems.

What exactly?

You will read about that tomorrow.
