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.

Basically, this simply denoting that God is the only
One Who can be classified as
Savior; thus, He is Savior of all men; but He is
particularly the Savior of His elect.
