Who Is Saved?

There is a reason why Jesus is called "the Savior of the world," and not merely "the mentor" or "the example." Jesus Christ literally saves people from their sins. But not everyone. Only anyone.

Many don't want to be "saved." They don't think they need "salvation." It's not that God doesn't want to save them. It's that they don't want God in that way. Instead, they just want Him around in case they need to ask for something else.
Personal salvation is a free gift, but there are many who decide to turn away from this gift. They honestly don't see the importance of this offer of grace. It's like a person who has a deadly disease, but is unaware of his condition. He thinks everything is just fine. If he only knew.
Sin goes deep within man. It is a violation of God's perfect standard. And it deserves punishment from a Holy God. All of that just seems to "fly over the heads" of those who "don't feel too sinful." They assume their feelings can be trusted, and that the Bible should be looked at with suspicion rather than with faith.  Read more at http://www.christianpost.com/news/god-will-save-anyone-but-not-everyone-104635/#CeOFVWZCIJSOggFf.99
