And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. — 1 John 2:2
Some time ago, I was watching a television show where the characters on the show were choosing sides. They were playing a game and needed to choose who they wanted to be on their team. Some were chosen very quickly, while others were left until much later. It was a joke in the show about being chosen late in the process.
But that’s certainly how life seems at times. There are people who always seem to be in the “in crowd.” They are skilled, talented, and it seems that so many things in life go their way. They seemingly are always chosen first.
If you are like me, that’s not necessarily the case. My life is up and down. There are days that it seems I am on the mountaintop, while I seem to be in the valley at other times. There are many times in life when I find that I have been left out or am not in the group, so to speak. I wasn’t always chosen first. There were times when I was absolutely chosen last.
I’m glad that’s not the case with God! I’m so thankful that when He created the plan for the atonement of sin, it wasn’t dependent on my skills or being chosen to fit into a specific mold or shape. If the forgiveness of my sin was dependent upon me, I would never be forgiven.
Jesus didn’t come to this world to die for just a select group of people. He gave His life so that all could receive forgiveness for their sins. No one was left out, not even you! If you have accepted Jesus as Savior, that’s worth praising Him today! If you haven’t, you can learn more about accepting Him today!

Jared nails it again...we are all on a level playing field as we stand before God...
"For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Roman's 3:23
"There is NONE righteous no not one." Roman's 3:10
The only difference will be whether or not we have been clothed in the righteousness of Christ, who is the propitiation for our sins.
OUR righteousness is as filthy rags...so the ONLY thing that we can do is claim the blood of the lamb, which washes white as snow.
God is SO good...all the time.
Amen
Amen. And that includes our enemies of the WEF, our Government, and all those in conjunction with killing us off. We must pray for their repentance. Amen.
Amen!
You have to believe God in order to appropriate redemption and salvation. Believe what? That Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and rose again on the third day. Not just a head knowledge, but a heart knowledge.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Without faith (believing) it is impossible to please God. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.
God has done it all for us, because of His great love of humanity. There is nothing mankind can do for God to give them eternal life. His work is perfect and does not need anything else added to it.
Take the leap of faith!
...Faith in Jesus + 0 = Salvation....
Wrong. You have taken the word "world" out of its original context. 1) for God so loved the world.. 2) Do not love the world..The word "world" is one of a number of words where context matters and definitions change with time. Jew and febrile are other examples.
God does the choosing not man. He doesn't save what Satan has corrupted.. He has no interest in saving the devils that walk among men.
...what about the Queen of Sheba and the Ethiopian Eunuch?
This is the one world religion propaganda.
