What does the Bible say about God being the Savior of all men?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that God is the Savior of all men in that He sustains creation and provides for humanity, though salvation in a redemptive sense is particularly for the elect.

The Scriptures affirm that God is the Savior of all men in two primary senses. First, He preserves and sustains all of creation, preventing immediate judgment and allowing for life and existence. This is evident in how He spared Adam from instant destruction following the fall, demonstrating His mercy and long-suffering. Second, while God offers a general benevolence to all humanity, the salvific work of Christ is specifically for those who believe. This distinction is seen in passages like 1 Timothy 4:10, which asserts that Christ is a Savior especially to those who believe, emphasizing a particular redemptive intent towards the elect.
