Some Truths from 1 Timothy 2

1 Timothy 2:3-6
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.

I love these verses. In them we see:

• God's desire is that all people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. He does not want some to be destroyed and some to be saved. He wants everyone to be in heaven with him.


• Jesus is the mediator between God and man. For anyone to get into heaven, the sacrifice of Jesus is necessary and sufficient.


• Jesus died for all humankind, not just for some. There might be some that reject Jesus' sacrifice, but that will be their decision.
