| "Savior . . . especially of those who believe"
Quote:
1 Tim 4:10--"For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe."
There is a sense in which God, through Jesus Christ's death, is the Savior of all people, and there is a sense in which He is the Savior especially of those who believe. Both are true, and neither should be minimized.
| I'm still working through my definition of the intent/extent of Christ's atonement. Someone said the above quote to me recently. What say ye?
