Whom God Will Save

God will save sinners."For all have sinned"(Romans 3:23). As we look to God's mercy at the cross of Jesus, we find mercy to take away all our sins."The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin"(1 John 1:7). God's mercy saves every believer in God's Son. Jesus was raised from the dead to prove every believer's justification from all sin. 

God will save sinners at the cross. Jesus suffered and died for sinners like you and me. Justice demands eternal judgment for all who have sinned. Justice was served at the cross, when Jesus paid the full price for our sins. 

God will save sinners who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Justice was served for sinners in Christ crucified,"according to His mercy He saved us"(Titus 3:5). Justice says,"Because you are guilty of breaking God's law, you deserve eternal judgment." Mercy says,"You are guilty, but Jesus took your judgment at the cross." Justice was served on our behalf, that we may receive mercy. 

God will save sinners in Christ alone,"who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised for our justification"(Romans 4:25). Those who reject God's mercy in Christ receive justice, which is just condemnation. However, there is no condemnation for those who receive God's mercy in Christ (John 3:17; Romans 8:1).
