Hello you and welcome,
Very dicey question here -> Feel free to respond for no judgement here on your subjections.
Have you ever come across this scripture before?
The understanding of looking at the verses is this
Paul is writing to Timothy encouraging him to continue even through tribulations or struggle - in hope of the living God.
The Living God who is the Saviour of all people. (All people meaning everyone regardless even if they reject, or have not yet to come to understanding of God and the Lord Jesus Christ)
Particularly of all believers -> This part is indicating that God is even the saviour of those who believe because -> They made the choice to turn towards God through being told the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ and accepting and believing in him -> Which John (1:12) indicates anyone who believes on the Lord become children of God. -> according to Romans (5:1-6) talks about how we are justified by peace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we have peace with God, and that the holy spirit of God's love is given to us, and also includes that Christ died for the ungodly -> So God is the savior of all mankind. Particularly of all believers for all of what is given because of their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you believe in what 1 Timothy 4:10 says is truth? God is the Saviour of all people?
What are your thoughts on this.
Yes. This is not about universalism.

This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. 1 Timothy 4:10

Well if you think this is promoting universalism, no I don't agree with you, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in what 1 Timothy 4:10 says.
It might be better to ask the question - do you believe in what 1 Timothy says, because if you do you have to include the verses that are in opposition to Universalism: '...some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits'
God is the saviour of all people. He offers his gift freely... but not all will take up that gift, which is why those who do accept it are singled out.
Yes. This is not about universalism.
