Bible Question: Is it scriptural that God forsakes all those who go astray? Or did Jesus not teach that His Father wills for none of us to be lost? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Liberty Bell! The short answer to your question is, 'Yes'! Yes, God does not want anyone to perish. 2 Peter 3:9 tells us this is so. However, other Scriptures also tells us that those who reject Christ will be condemned. John 3:18 - "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." John 3:36 - "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him." 1 John 5:12 - "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life."
