IS SALVATION FREE TO ALL?
The Bible plainly says that it is. St. Paul tells us that our Savior "Will have all men to be saved." (I Timothy 3: 4). John tells us that
"God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3: 16, 17).
ARE ALL MEN SINNERS?
The Bible says so.
"There is none righteous, no, not one." (Romans 3: 10).
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (Ecclesiastes 7: 20).
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (I John 1: 8).
