What does the Bible say about God's will to save everyone?

In 1 Timothy 2:4, it states that God 'will have all men to be saved.' However, this does not imply that every individual will ultimately be saved. The context of Scripture reveals that God has not purposed for all individuals to receive salvation. Instead, the teachings of election and limited atonement clarify that God's salvific purpose is directed specifically towards those He has chosen. The presence of lost souls underscores that not all are brought to salvation, validating the belief that while God's desire for salvation encompasses all types of people, His sovereign will encompasses specific individuals, His elect.
