Now, universal forgiveness is NOT universal salvation — but that forgiveness made your salvation possible.
The Gospel Paul delivered to us is this:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, ...
by which also ye are saved, ... how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
It’s the clear message of grace revealed to our Apostle Paul — that God has already done everything needed for our salvation.
