12/20/21 The angel said it was good news to all men.

12/20/21 The angel said it was good news to all men.

The Bible says:
It is not the will of God that any should perish;
God would have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth;
Christ is the Savior of all men;
Jesus died as the propitiation (appeasement, sacrifice, satisfaction) for all men.
The angel was right, the coming of Jesus is good news to all men.

The New Testament makes it clear:
Whosoever will, and whosoever calls on the name of the Lord, and whosoever believes on Jesus shall be saved.
Yes, the angel was right, it is good news to all men.

Some people teach:
God is a respecter of men, that is, He chooses some men to be saved and chooses to leave others as the victim of Adam's sin, without offering them His grace that would save them from an eternity of torment.
That is not good news.

Men offer fancy arguments, which twist Scripture, warp the nature of God, and deny the One Who has purchased them with His Own blood, by saying that God chose not to offer salvation to helpless and hopeless sinners, rather He sits back and laughs at them in their pitiable but lost estate. God, supposedly chose some for salvation and chose others for condemnation, giving neither of them a choice and judging neither justly. And then they claim it is good news.

I think I will believe the angel and the witness of the New Testament. I will believe that God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

I choose to believe the Good News.
