Jesus saves unbelievers !

[beloved57]

One of the most ridiculous things I ever heard is that Jesus Christ doesnt save unbelievers. Folks if that was true, it wouldnt be no hope of Salvation for any sinner, since by nature all sinners, as all are, are in or under unbelief Rom 11:32

³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

In fact this very verse instructs us that some because of their unbelief, God will have mercy upon them in unbelief !

An example is the saul of tarsus, who hated Christ and His people, and did many horrible things to them while in unbelief 1 Tim 1:13

¹³ who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Paul obtained mercy while in unbelief, and it was for this cause Paul knew by experience that Christ came into the world to save sinners, unbelievers of which he was chief 1 Tim 1:14-15

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Paul is an example of how Christ saves unbelieving sinners, and turns them into believers, Christ has mercy on them, because of their unbelief !

So if you hear someone teach that God in Christ doesn't save unbelievers, they are preaching a false Gospel. If Christ didn't save unbelievers there wouldn't be any believers, all would remain in the prison of unbelief !

Amen Brother, just as Paul was shown Mercy 1 Tim. 1:13-15 because of His Unbelief, so likewise do all the objects of God's Mercy Rom. 9:23 experience the same.

Jesus absolutely saves Particular Unbelievers by His Mercy, which results in His Saving them out of a Lost state of unbelief Rom. 11:32 even while being dead in sin, by giving them His Spirit in New Birth, of which Faith / Believing is a Fruit of Gal. 5:22.

Yes, Jesus absolutely Saves these unbelievers by Turning them into Believers !

John 3:15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Acts 3:16 Aramaic Bible in Plain English
“And by the faith of his Name, this one whom you see and know, he has restored and healed, and faith in him has given him this health before you all.”

Acts 6:5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

Acts 6:7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.



Those scripture prove that Jesus taught believe/faith in order to be saved.

Believers at one time were unbelievers. How else do they become believers?

 

[God's Truth]

Believers at one time were unbelievers. How else do they become believers?

They became believers after they heard the gospel message and believed it.

To say Jesus doesn't save unbelievers is as idiotic as saying Jesus doesn't save sinners !, For unbelievers are nothing more than sinners !

Here's a scripture that God views unbelief as sin Ps 78:32

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

Exactly, the unbelievers Christ died for are reconciled / saved from the penalty of their sins even while they're His enemies and unbelievers; hating God Rom. 5:10 !

Unbelievers/sinners, they ALL have to believe and repent to be saved.

 

[God's Truth]

Jesus taught that we HAVE TO BELIEVE and REPENT of our sins.


Mark 1:14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God. 15“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”

Luke 13:3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

Isaiah 59:20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” declares the Lord.

John 5:14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”


Luke 24:47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Matthew 11:21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Matthew 12:41 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them—and now, something greater than Jonah is here!

If Jesus doesnt save unbelievers, who does ? Or is it that no unbelievers can be saved ? Or maybe unbelievers save themselves from unbelief if Christ doesnt ?

 

[beloved57]

Now if unbelievers save themselves from unbelief by something they do or dont do, then they become their own Saviours, since Christ dying for their sins didnt save them from unbelief ! They therefore have reason to boast !

 

[Nanja]

If Jesus doesnt save unbelievers, who does ? Or is it that no unbelievers can be saved ? Or maybe unbelievers save themselves from unbelief if Christ doesnt ?

Jesus surely saves unbelievers, particularly them that are of His Sheep given Him of the Father John 10:29.

Their unbelief was never counted against them, and are the only unbelievers that shall be Saved.


John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.


So to them, it is Given to Believe on Him.


Phil. 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

 

[Nanja]

Now if unbelievers save themselves from unbelief by something they do or dont do, then they become their own Saviours, since Christ dying for their sins didnt save them from unbelief ! They therefore have reason to boast !

True, because in their own mind it was what they did that makes the difference between being saved and not lost; while other sinners had the same opportunity they had but failed to take advantage of it, and so have reason to boast over others.

 

[God's Truth]

If Jesus doesnt save unbelievers, who does ? Or is it that no unbelievers can be saved ? Or maybe unbelievers save themselves from unbelief if Christ doesnt ?

Jesus says he saves those who obey and believe in him.

 

[God's Truth]

Now if unbelievers save themselves from unbelief by something they do or dont do, then they become their own Saviours, since Christ dying for their sins didnt save them from unbelief ! They therefore have reason to boast !

We have to obey the King.

Do what the King says and you will be spared.
