“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5. For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Timothy 2:4-6 — KJV
Who will have. Literally, “who wills” (cf. Titus 2:11; see John 3:17; Rom. 9:18, 19; 2 Peter 3:9). No man could be saved if God had not purposed to forgive and to restore repentant sinners. Because God’s love excludes no man from the opportunity of salvation, all those who are eventually lost will suffer the consequences of their own failure to accept God’s overtures of love (see on John 3:16).
Knowledge of the truth. That knowledge born of personal experience concerning God and His will that leads to salvation (see Rom. 1:28; Eph. 1:17, 18; 4:13-15; Col. 1:9, 10; 3:10; 2 Tim. 2:25; Titus 1:1; Heb. 10:26), and which is revealed through the Bible (see on John 17:17). More than mere intellectual knowledge is here comprehended.
