2 Cor 4:1-6 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The true gospel begins and ends with Jesus Christ, with His sacrifice and shed blood on the cross, with the empty tomb and a risen, living, Savior. Who needs that sacrifice? Every man, woman, and child born into this world of sin for we are all, no some, not many, all born with a sin nature that separates us from God. Now, who can be saved? Let us again look at what the Bible has to say. John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 1 Tim 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Not only does the Bible tell us that all need to be saved, but that all can be saved. When Jesus went to the cross it was for all, so all could be saved. John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. There are some who try and limit God’s salvation to a certain few, but they do this by twisting Scripture and handling the Word of God deceitfully. The “All” of the Bible clearly shows that6 all can be saved.
