From Joel chapter 2 verse 32 we read “And anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. There will be people on Mount Zion in Jerusalem who escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called.”
“Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord i.e. Jesus Christ will be saved. It must be a genuine conscious decision in FAITH trusting that Jesus is the ONLY way that one can be saved. A person cannot just say “OMG” Oh My God and believe that they are saved.
Why would God want to forgive people who have spent their lifetime denying Him and hurting Him? Why doesn’t he just “ZAP” them? In our humanity we say that certain people do not deserve forgiveness. In His sovereignty and perfect LOVE God says: “I love you and forgive those who, to others appear unsalvageable.” This is just one of the ways God’s thoughts are beyond our own. His mercy is so overwhelming that it can seem unreasonable to us. Are you willing to let God’s mercy and grace do as it wishes–with anyone?
