Jesus has saved all people from death, sin, hell, the grave, Satan and his demons, the wrath of God (it was poured out on Israel in 70ad) (Side note: though you don’t have to accept that it is just part of my belief and faith)

To be saved to the kingdom of God one needs to accept the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, it would be beneficial for them to grow and know the living God and the Son Jesus Christ which is life eternal, and they will receive the Holy Spirit.

Their life will be changed as they seek for God by faith, their old man will slowly die away as the new man inside of them grows by learning about God and what has been done for all of mankind because of Jesus and because of the Apostles going out to teach in which the gospel has reached whole world according to Paul, in Romans, and Colossians.

People who become believers God has promised to give them a new spirit, and a new heart, that God hears their prayers, that Jesus baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire, that by faith you are justified and can have peace with God in and through Christ Jesus, at the end of life you will be resurrected and be rewarded accordingly to how you lived your life, another promise newness of life by the Holy Spirit and the spirit of Christ living with in you, the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, and the like (G 5).

Spiritual growth will keep a person healthy in their faith and not wavering and doubting between if they are saved or not.

They will know for a fact by faith in being saved by grace through faith, and will be at the end of their life resurrected and going to see God to be judged.

Where we might just be presenting our case, was it Jesus who made us right with God or was it our self and what we did. That will be the only two choices in my best estimation.

The you have those who are on the outside who did not have faith and love for God or others. And the inside where those who had faith inGod and love for others.

That is what I believe by faith, people pick and choose this day who they will serve it is always ourselves or God. To have love for God first and to have love for others, or not.

Dying without faith according to revelation 22 they are placed outside the kingdom where darkness resides, but inside the all consuming fire God is there to be a shining light for all to see and the gates of the city never close anyone off, but due to no faith people are placed outside the gates.

@Hidden In Him thank you for your comment.

Promise of the voice of our prayers being heard.


“In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In distress, be it heart break, be it your flesh having to the desire to do something mean, hateful, in turn disobeying having love for God, love for others.

A promise here is that God does hear your prayers, therefore call out to him, even in times when you are not distressed. God will be there for you, and give you comfort.‬‬

The promises of those who follow after Jesus shall not be snatch away; but that doesn’t mean you can not stop trusting or stop following Jesus, that choice is yours to make.


“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:27-28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A promise yet, a suggestion to pray for all people is in order for the Christian life to live a quiet, peaceful life, in dignity and godliness (devotion to God).

“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭2:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

What did men in Israel do that was so much worse than men in all the rest of the world or worse than what men do today, so that He picked only them to pour out all His wrath on?

If the answer is because it was some of the Jewish people who wanted Him dead, then why wasn’t Rome destroyed at the same time, because there were some Roman men involved in His death too. They actually carried out His death.
