The Salvation of All

The objection is often raised that if Father will eventually save all anyway, why bother proclaiming the Gospel? In answer, please consider these:

First, that Father was in Chirst conciliating the whole world to Himself.
That believing is a gift, bestowed at Father's discretion.
That Father will give this gift to every one who has ever lived at their appointed time.
That Father has ordained that through the foolishness of proclaiming, the Word does His work.
The fact that Father will EVENTUALLY bring all mankind to belief, does not preclude Him from opening the hearts and minds of some NOW.

Once the full magnitude and glory of this marvelous truth dawns on the mind and heart (the gift from Father) it becomes fairly impossible to REFRAIN from proclaiming it. Such is the overflowing joy of a heart so changed.  And, since Father and Christ Jesus our Head are the authors and cause of all of this, the full credit and glory go to Them (before whom no flesh shall glory).  And we are privileged to participate in the process!
