What does the Bible say about God's will for humanity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God is not willing that any should perish, emphasizing His desire for the salvation of His elect.

In 2 Peter 3:9, it is declared that the Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. This reflects God's sovereign grace and His merciful character. Here, 'any' refers specifically to those whom He has chosen, His elect, whom He will faithfully save. Therefore, God's long-suffering allows time for these individuals to come to faith, ensuring not a single one of them will be lost.
