What does the Bible teach about the will of God concerning salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's will is to save a specific group of people, His elect, rather than all humanity.

The will of God is a significant concept in Scripture, particularly regarding salvation. Passages like 2 Thessalonians 2:13 express that God chooses individuals for salvation from the beginning. Contrary to popular belief that God desires the salvation of everyone without exception, the Bible clearly teaches that His will is effective and certain. If God's will could fail, it would undermine His sovereignty and omnipotence. Therefore, understanding God's will as directed towards His chosen people reinforces the belief that salvation is not contingent upon human will but solely on God's divine purpose and grace.
