What does the Bible say about God's desire for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God desires all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4), but this does not mean He has purposed to save everyone.

In 1 Timothy 2:4, it states that God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. However, this must be understood in the context of God's sovereign will. If not all souls are saved, it implies that either God is not truly sovereign or that He has not purposed to save all. As affirmed in Scripture, God is indeed sovereign and has chosen a particular people for salvation. This is illustrated through examples in Scripture, such as the cases of Esau and Pharaoh, where God clearly delineates His purposes in salvation.
