God’s Word declares that the gospel, which is “the power of God unto salvation [1] to every one that believeth” (Romans:1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
See All... [2]), is “good tidings of great joy,” not just to certain elect, but “to all people” (Luke:2:10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
See All... [3]). Sadly, the insistence that only a select few have been elected to salvation [1] is not “good tidings of great joy to all people”! How can such a doctrine be biblical?
