What does the Bible say about God's willingness to save everyone?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God is not willing that any of His elect should perish but desires all of them to come to repentance.
In 2 Peter 3:9, it is emphasized that 'The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.' This verse has often been misinterpreted to suggest that God desires to save every individual universally, but in context, it speaks specifically to the elect, the beloved of God. Peter writes to those who have obtained 'like precious faith,' indicating a specific group rather than a blanket invitation to all humanity. God’s longsuffering is directed towards His chosen people, ensuring that they will all come to repentance before the return of Christ.
