For me, these scriptures, and others like them present one of the great mysteries of Christianity. God desires that we all be saved yet many will not be. This is a question I don t ever expect to have an answer to. For me, it is incomprehensible. But, because I believe that God is sovereign and omniscient, I am convinced that if I knew everything that He knows, this would somehow make sense.
Faith makes the incomprehensible, acceptable.
And finally, faith saves us. Not having the right parents, not our achievements not what we have not what we do not even being good. Salvation is a gift God gives us and He gives it to us because we have faith. He gives it to us because we believe in Him, we hear Him when He speaks, we trust Him, and we act on what He says whatever the consequences. If we have faith the kind that acts to please God, we will experience things differently, and ultimately, we are different .
