1 Timothy 2:3-6
3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires
all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for
all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
Context matters.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, (2)
for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. (3) This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (5) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (6) who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,
not wishing that any should perish, but that
all should reach repentance.
Again, context matters.
2 Peter 3:1-9 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you,
beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, (2) that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, (3) knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. (4) They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." (5) For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, (6) and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. (7) But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (8) But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (9) The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Who are the "beloved"?
1 John 2:2
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the
whole world.
Not just for the Jews, but for Gentiles also. Referring to kinds of people, not every single human being that has ever existed.
Matthew 22:14
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:11-14 "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. (12) And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. (13) Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' (14) For many are called, but few are chosen."
Referring that we do not know the identity of the elect simply by outward appearance. Not referring to Resistable Grace.
Matthew 10:38
38 And whoever
does not take his cross and follow me is
not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:35-38 For
I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. (36) And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. (37) Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (38) And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
This is not defining a pre-requisite of salvation, but a product of salvation.
Have you loved Jesus Christ perfectly more than your father or mother?
