But God does not say so. He says there is salvation for all, not that all are saved.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/>Here is an illustration. It is a bitterly cold winter and unemployment is rife in one of our great cities, with many in dire need. The municipal authorities provide free meals. You meet a poor fellow on the street who says he is starving. Naturally you ask if he does not believe the notices that are up all over the city, that there is enough food for all provided free of charge.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/>\u201cYes,\u201d he replies. \u201cI believe that is true in a general sort of way, but I am still hungry.\u201d<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/>You tell him that he is likely to remain hungry in spite of the provisions unless he eats and drinks personally of what is provided for all.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/>In the same way, although the death of Christ provides salvation for whosoever will, only those who personally accept Christ and believe that He died in their place are saved. I must take Christ as my Saviour, or His death will avail me nothing \u2013 just as a man could die of thirst beside a spring of water if he refused to make its life-giving stream his own by drinking of it himself.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/>The Saviour\u2019s salvation offer is given to all: every one that thirsteth can come! \u201cCome unto me all ye that labour\u2026\u201d Salvation is free, but not forced on any. But, the invitation having been given, you must respond! Accept or reject, the decision is yours! Come to the Saviour, make no delay!<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"main_content\"><br \/><i>Thought: Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation!<br \/>Prayer: I accept You, Jesus, as my Lord and Saviour.<\/i><\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thereasonwhy.net\/?p=145\">Previous<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thereasonwhy.net\/?page_id=27\">Continuous Play<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thereasonwhy.net\/?p=149\">Next<\/a><\/p><hr \/><p><audio controls=\"controls\"> <source src=\"https:\/\/www.thereasonwhy.net\/download\/cd\/018_Chpt 017.ogg\" type=\"audio\/ogg\" \/> <source src=\"https:\/\/www.thereasonwhy.net\/download\/cd\/018_Chpt 017.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/> <strong>Your browser doesn&#8217;t support this player.
