Who Is Jesus the Saviour of the World?
JESUS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD: Introduce His identity as the Son of God and the Redeemer sent from heaven.
The Lamb of God Who Takes Away Sin
Explain how Jesus, as the sacrificial Lamb, removes the sin of the world.
The Only Way to Salvation
Chapter 1: Sent from the Father — The Mission of the Son
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.” — 1 John 4:14
From the very beginning, the mission of Jesus was not small, selective, or tribal. It was cosmic. The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world — not merely of a segment, a denomination, or a group that “got it right.” The Word didn’t become flesh just to save a remnant; He came to redeem all creation.
The apostle John doesn’t suggest it — he testifies it. It’s not a theological argument or doctrinal possibility. It’s a witnessed reality. The Father sent the Son. The mission is world-sized. The Savior is for all.
This is the gospel in its original glory — the message before religion shrunk it down and boxed it in.
Jesus didn’t just come to be the Savior of the Jews. He wasn’t sent to be the Savior of the church only. He was not limited to the elect, or a pre-approved number. He was sent from the bosom of the Father to rescue the cosmos (Greek: kosmos), to reconcile all things in heaven and earth.
And that sending was not uncertain. God didn’t hope He might save the world. He sent Him to do it — and Jesus Himself declared, “It is finished.”
A Love That Sends
The sending of the Son is the expression of the deepest nature of God: love.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” — John 3:16
What kind of love is this? It’s not sentimental. It’s not transactional. It’s transformational. It reaches into darkness, into sin, into rebellion — and still moves in power to redeem.
The world that God loved was not perfect. It was fallen, confused, broken — just like us. And yet He sent Jesus as the exact expression of His heart. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us — not to condemn, but to save.
“God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” — John 3:17
Unlocking the Scale
The modern church often preaches a Savior who might save you — if you believe hard enough, behave well enough, or choose quickly enough. But John proclaims something better:
“We have seen and testify…”
This was not speculation. It was spiritual sight. The apostles had seen a salvation not limited by race, law, tradition, or nation — but one for the whole world.
He is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.
He is the Bread that gives life to the world.
He is the Light that shines in every man coming into the world.
He is the Savior — of the world.
And He was sent.
Chapter 2: The Savior of the World — Not Just a Few
“And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.” — John 4:42
The declaration of the Samaritans in John 4 is one of the purest revelations of who Jesus is. These were not Pharisees, priests, or temple scribes. These were outcasts. Half-breeds. Outsiders.
And yet they saw it. They heard Him, and the veil dropped.
“This is indeed the Christ — the Savior of the world.”
Not the Savior of the Jews only. Not the Savior of “those who believe what we believe.” Not even the Savior of a select remnant. The Savior of the world.
A Universal Gospel
This is what religion fears — a gospel that’s too good. A grace that’s too wide. A love that dares to stretch beyond boundaries and claim, with boldness, that Jesus came for every single person who ever lived.
But the Scripture says it plainly:
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” — 1 Corinthians 15:22
“By the righteousness of One the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” — Romans 5:18
The same “all” that died in Adam are the “all” that will be made alive in Christ. This is not universalism based in man’s reason — it’s universal redemption based in the blood of Jesus.
The Blood Speaks Better Things
The blood of Jesus doesn’t just cry out for a few. It doesn’t call for mercy over a limited elect. It speaks better things than Abel — because it speaks for the world.
“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” — John 1:29
Jesus didn’t die for some. He died for all. His blood wasn’t spilled for part of humanity — it was poured out for the entire cosmos.
And if the Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world — then the sin of the world is not eternal.
The Lamb has done what Adam never could: He bore the sin of all, and in doing so, removed it.
The Witness of the Outsiders
It wasn’t the religious elite who first called Him “Savior of the world.” It was the Samaritans. The rejected ones. Those who didn’t even belong — at least not by religious standards.
But they saw it. And their witness has echoed for 2,000 years:
“We have heard Him ourselves… this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
The world needs to hear that echo again.
Chapter 3: Especially Those Who Believe — But Not Only
“For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.” — 1 Timothy 4:10
This is one of the most power-packed verses in the New Testament — and one of the most misunderstood.
Paul makes it clear: God is the Savior of all men. Period. Full stop. But then he adds something special: “especially of those who believe.”
This does not mean He only saves those who believe. It means there is a special present-tense experience for believers — but His ultimate identity is still Savior of all.
The Special and the Eternal
Let’s break it down:
“All men” = every human being
“Especially believers” = those who trust Him now and experience salvation in this life
The Greek word translated “especially” is malista, meaning “most of all” or “in a special way.” It doesn’t cancel the first part — it clarifies it.
God’s saving reach covers everyone. Believers, by faith, experience that reality now. But the truth of His being Savior doesn’t change — even for those who are still blind to it.
Religion Flips the Verse
Religious systems often twist this verse in reverse:
They say Jesus is the Savior of believers only.
But Paul says He’s the Savior of all, with believers enjoying the benefits especially now.
This means the door isn’t just cracked open for a few — it’s wide open for all.
If God’s nature is to be Savior, He doesn’t stop being that simply because someone hasn’t believed yet. Unbelief delays experience — it doesn’t nullify destiny.
Present Experience, Future Fulfillment
Believers taste salvation now — peace, righteousness, joy, and life in the Spirit. But God’s saving purpose for humanity is not limited to our short earthly timeline.
“God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all.” — Romans 11:32
His mercy doesn’t fail. His plan doesn’t miss. His saving purpose isn’t weak. Jesus is not the potential Savior — He is the actual Savior of all men.
The only difference? Believers receive the joy now — the rest will awaken in due time.
Hope Beyond the Grave
If Christ is truly Savior of all, then death doesn’t get the last word. The grave doesn’t cancel grace. His mercy extends into ages to come, where He continues to reveal His love and bring all into the knowledge of the truth.
This is why we preach — not to threaten, but to announce. Not to scare people into a decision, but to reveal the goodness of the Savior already given.
Chapter 4: Death Abolished, Life Revealed
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” — 2 Timothy 1:10
This isn’t poetry. It’s prophecy fulfilled.
Jesus Christ didn’t come to manage death — He came to destroy it.
He didn’t negotiate with the grave. He stripped it of power and paraded it in open shame.
“He hath abolished death…”
The Greek word for abolished is katargeō — meaning “to make of no effect,” “to put out of use,” or “to render powerless.”
That’s what Jesus did to death. At the cross. In the tomb. Through the resurrection.
He rendered death powerless — and brought into view something humanity had never seen clearly: life and immortality.
The Appearing that Changed Everything
Paul says this life wasn’t just a theory — it was made manifest by the appearing of the Savior.
When Jesus showed up, everything hidden was uncovered. Everything locked in shadow was pierced by His light.
He didn’t bring a better religion. He brought a new creation — founded on life that cannot die.
The gospel doesn’t begin with rules. It begins with a resurrection.
It begins with the complete defeat of death and the revelation of a Kingdom that can’t be shaken.
Immortality Through the Gospel
The message of the gospel isn’t, “Try harder and maybe you’ll go to heaven.”
The message is:
“Death has been abolished. Immortality has been revealed. The life you lost in Adam has now been made visible in Christ.”
This isn’t a someday-promise. It’s a now-manifested reality.
The gospel doesn’t offer you a hope that depends on your performance. It reveals the finished work of the One who already overthrew the power of death.
“I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore…” — Revelation 1:18
Jesus didn’t escape death — He conquered it, then brought the spoils of that victory to every single person.
The Savior Who Reversed the Curse
The first Adam introduced death to the world.
The last Adam — Jesus — abolished it.
Every funeral is temporary.
Every tomb is a doorway.
Every sorrow will be swallowed up in joy.
Why? Because Jesus abolished death.
He is not the Savior of some… He is the Savior of all — and the first proof of that salvation is the destruction of death.
Chapter 5: The Free Gift Upon All Men
“Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” — Romans 5:18
This is not a verse to be explained away — it is to be proclaimed in boldness. What Adam did, Christ undid — and more. All were condemned through Adam. All receive justification of life through Christ.
We’ve heard the gospel of Adam preached loud and clear:
“All sinned! All fell! All died in him!”
But the gospel of Jesus Christ is greater. Paul says the free gift came upon all men. If the sin of one man condemned us all, then the righteousness of the Last Man justifies us all.
The Power of a Gift
Notice the word: gift. Not earned. Not achieved. Not negotiated.
It’s a free gift — and it comes upon all men. Not just offered to them… but comes upon them.
This is heaven’s announcement of what has already been done in Christ — not just a potential, but a present reality unfolding across time.
Righteousness That Reaches All
Jesus didn’t just die for those who would accept Him — He died for all, and His righteousness is credited to humanity as a new starting point.
In Adam, we were born condemned.
In Christ, we are now born under the reach of justification.
This doesn’t mean everyone is automatically living in that reality — but it does mean that the work has been finished on behalf of all.
That’s why we preach! Not to make salvation real — but to awaken people to the reality that’s already been won.
The Righteousness of One
Don’t miss the divine logic of Romans 5:
One man’s disobedience → many made sinners
One man’s obedience → many made righteous
God’s plan was not to patch Adam’s broken legacy — it was to end it, and start an entirely new humanity in Jesus Christ.
The cross was the reset of creation — and the resurrection was the new birth of the world.
A Gospel Big Enough for All
We’ve preached a partial gospel for too long — a gospel that only affects a few, that only reaches the “right ones,” and leaves the rest to eternal loss.
But Paul makes it plain: The free gift came upon all men.
We don’t need to shrink the gospel to fit our theology. We need to stretch our faith to match the gospel.
The free gift has come.
The justification has been accomplished.
The life has been given — and it’s time to tell the world.
Chapter 6: The Heart of God — Who Wills All to Be Saved
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” — 1 Timothy 2:4
Here it is. The unveiled heart of the Father. God wills all men to be saved.
Not some. Not most. Not an elect minority.
All.
This verse is not complicated — unless we try to explain it away.
The Greek is clear: Thelō pas anthrōpos sōzō — “God wills that all mankind be saved.”
This is not a wish. It’s not a possibility. It is the will of God.
God’s Will Can’t Be Denied
Religion often claims, “God wants all to be saved, but He can’t force anyone.”
But is God really powerless to fulfill His own will?
“He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth…” — Daniel 4:35
God’s will is not a fragile hope — it is a sovereign decree. And if He wills it, it will be done.
The gospel is not God trying to save people. It is God accomplishing what He has always intended: to reconcile all things unto Himself in Christ.
The Truth Will Be Known
Not only does He will all men to be saved — He wills that all come to the knowledge of the truth.
This is more than a moment of belief. It’s a transformational knowing — where the truth doesn’t just inform, it liberates.
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32
What truth? That Jesus is the Savior of the world. That death has been abolished. That all have been justified. That the Father’s love never fails.
Salvation in the Process of Time
If God wills all to be saved, why isn’t everyone saved now?
Because there is a divine order and process to how salvation unfolds — in ages and dispensations. Not all awaken at once — but every man in his own order (1 Cor. 15:23).
The will of God operates on God’s timeline, not ours.
Jesus said:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” — John 12:32
He was lifted up.
He will draw all.
Not just now — but across the ages to come.
A Will That Will Not Fail
God’s will is not weak.
His love is not limited.
His plan is not frustrated.
He is not waiting to see who will “choose” Him. He is unfolding His purpose — drawing all by the Spirit, revealing the Son, and bringing all into the glorious liberty of His children.
“Love never fails.” — 1 Cor. 13:8
Chapter 7: Reconciling All Things in Heaven and Earth
“And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” — Colossians 1:20
This isn’t just a verse. It’s a revelation — that through the blood of His cross, Jesus is reconciling all things.
Not just people. Not just the church.
All things — in heaven and in earth.
The cross was not simply a personal atonement. It was a cosmic turning point. Every realm touched by the fall is now touched by the blood. And everything is being reconciled back to the Source — Christ Himself.
The Reach of Redemption
Paul leaves no room for limitation here:
“All things”
“In earth”
“In heaven”
This means:
Every person
Every fallen realm
Every estranged system
Every distorted spiritual power
All of it is being brought into divine peace — through the blood of the cross.
This is not future potential — it is present process. The blood is working across time, space, dimension, and age — restoring everything to Christ.
Peace by Blood
How does He reconcile all things? Not by wrath. Not by force. Not by eternal torment.
“Having made peace through the blood of His cross…”
Peace doesn’t come by punishment — it comes by redemption.
The blood is the final word — the evidence that all hostility has been removed. That sin has been judged. That death has been defeated. That alienation is over.
This is the ministry of reconciliation:
“God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them…” — 2 Cor. 5:19
A Gospel That Touches Everything
The modern gospel often makes salvation an individual ticket to heaven. But Paul saw something far more glorious:
A redemption that encompasses the universe.
A peace that transforms principalities and powers.
A Savior whose cross has changed the fabric of creation itself.
The blood of Jesus doesn’t just forgive sins. It reconciles all things.
This is why every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess — because every heart will be made whole.
The Purpose of God Will Prevail
The cross was not a rescue plan — it was the eternal purpose of God to reconcile all in Christ (Eph. 1:10).
From beginning to end, Jesus is the central point of all reality. And through Him, all things are returning, restored, reconciled — until God is all in all.
Chapter 8: The Purpose of the Ages — Until God Is All in All
“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him.” — Ephesians 1:10
“And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” — 1 Corinthians 15:28
God does nothing randomly. He works through times and seasons — or more accurately, through ages.
We’re not dealing with eternity as a static realm — we’re in the middle of God’s unfolding plan through the ages, each age revealing more of His Son, His purpose, and ultimately His fullness in all.
From Age to Age — A Divine Progression
Scripture speaks clearly of:
Ages past
This present age
Ages to come
Each age carries purpose, process, and progression. We are not stuck in some indefinite timeline of uncertainty. We are moving toward a very specific destination:
All things gathered together in Christ.
Every enemy under His feet.
God becoming all in all.
The Mystery Hidden in the Ages
Paul said it was his calling to reveal the mystery which from the beginning of the ages was hidden in God (Eph. 3:9).
What is that mystery?
That God would reconcile all things in Christ, and that the Gentiles (nations) would be brought into the same promise and inheritance.
God didn’t create time as a delay to eternity.
He created the ages as a stage for change — so that what was lost in Adam could be restored fully in Christ.
Each Age Carries Redemptive Glory
We are now in what Paul called “this present evil age” (Gal. 1:4) — but it won’t last forever. Just like the Law passed. Just like shadows gave way to substance.
The ages to come will reveal the “exceeding riches of His grace” (Eph. 2:7). In each unfolding age, more of Christ will be seen, more of creation will awaken, and more will be brought into liberty.
Time itself is the river by which God navigates all things back into Himself.
The Fulness of the Times
Ephesians 1:10 doesn’t speak of random history — it declares a divine goal:
“The dispensation of the fulness of times…”
The Greek phrase here implies the administration or stewardship of the seasons of God — the masterful way He is orchestrating the end of all things in Christ.
When this fullness arrives, there will be nothing left outside of Him.
No rebellion. No death. No sin.
Only Christ. Only Love. Only Glory.
The Grand Finale: God All in All
What’s the end of all this?
“…that God may be all in all.” — 1 Cor. 15:28
Not some in some. Not Christ in part of creation. But God fully manifested in all creation.
This is not poetry. This is the goal of the gospel.
Christ reigns until every enemy is under His feet — and the last enemy, death itself, is destroyed.
Then the Son hands the Kingdom to the Father, and the Father fills all of creation with Himself.
No more separation. No more shadow. Only glory.
Chapter 9: Salvation in the Ages to Come
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order…” — 1 Corinthians 15:22–23
“…that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” — Ephesians 2:7
The gospel doesn’t end with this present age.
It expands into the ages to come — each one unveiling more of Christ’s redemption and glory.
We’ve often preached the gospel like time is running out — like today is the only day of salvation for all mankind.
But Paul reveals something better:
“Every man in his own order…”
That word order (Greek: tagma) is a military rank, a procession, a divine schedule of resurrection and awakening.
God is not in a hurry — He is working His plan, calling each rank, each man, each nation into life — in His divine timing.
A Salvation Expanding Through the Ages
Ephesians 2:7 says God will show His grace in the ages to come. Plural. Not one. Not two. Multiple ages.
This means the fullness of salvation is still unfolding.
Some are raised in this age.
Others in the next.
And still others in the ages to come.
Why? Because God’s grace is not limited to this short lifetime — it is eternal in its scope, but unfolds in time.
The Elect, Then the Rest
In this age, God is calling the elect — those chosen to believe, overcome, and reign with Christ.
But that’s not the end. The elect are first, not only.
They are the firstfruits, not the full harvest.
There remains a vast multitude — the rest of humanity — who will come in later ranks, in future ages. These are not rejected — they are simply awaiting their time.
“Then cometh the end…” (1 Cor. 15:24) — the final harvest.
The Purpose of the Elect
Why is God raising up a firstfruit company now?
So they can be used as vessels of mercy, as kings and priests, as saviors on Mount Zion (Obadiah 1:21), to bring deliverance to the rest of creation.
The elect don’t reign over the rest to dominate — they reign for the rest, to reconcile, restore, and bring the nations into the Kingdom.
A Salvation for All — In Time
This is the true power of God’s plan:
It begins with the Son, the Firstfruits
Then the Elect — the overcomers
Then the rest of mankind, until…
God is All in All.
What kind of gospel saves some now, but gives up on the rest forever?
Not this one.
This gospel is unstoppable — because the blood is enough, the love is eternal, and the cross reaches into every age.
Chapter 10: That God May Be All in All
“And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” — 1 Corinthians 15:28
This is the end of the gospel. Not heaven and hell. Not eternal separation. Not religious systems or fearful threats.
The end is God fully expressed in all creation.
All enemies brought under Christ’s feet.
All death destroyed.
All resistance broken by love.
All creation restored, renewed, reconciled.
The Son, having reigned with perfect righteousness, hands the Kingdom back to the Father, not in defeat — but in completion.
And in that moment, God becomes All in All.
Nothing Outside of Him
Right now, creation groans (Rom. 8:22).
Right now, there are enemies, darkness, and confusion.
But not forever.
Paul says there will be nothing left outside of Him.
Nothing resisting.
Nothing lost.
Nothing unreconciled.
Everything that fell in Adam is now lifted in Christ.
Not just returned to Eden… but brought into a greater glory — where the Tree of Life feeds the nations, and the River of God flows without end.
The Son’s Humility, The Father’s Fulness
It says the Son will be subject to the Father. Not in weakness, but in joy.
Jesus finishes what He began — and now He submits all to the One who sent Him.
Why? Because the Son didn’t come to rule forever — He came to reconcile all, and then return everything to the Source — that God may be All in All.
God Manifest in Everything
Can you imagine it?
No more division between sacred and secular
No more nations at war
No more death, sin, rebellion, or confusion
Every eye open
Every heart healed
Every creature radiating with divine life
God in all minds.
God in all hearts.
God in every corner of the cosmos.
All things filled with His glory.
This Is the Purpose of the Gospel
This was the goal from before the world began.
Not to save a few.
Not to patch up Adam.
But to make all things new in Christ.
“Behold, I make all things new.” — Rev. 21:5
And when it’s all done, He says:
“It is finished.”
Just like at the cross… but now across the universe.
The gospel doesn’t end in judgment — it ends in jubilee.
Not in torment — but in transformation.
Not in some saved, some lost — but in all things gathered into Christ.
Final Glory
This is the message the world needs.
It’s the gospel that reveals the true heart of the Father.
It’s the reason the Son came.
It’s the joy that was set before Him.
And now, as sons of God, we bear witness to this glorious future.
We don’t preach fear — we preach fullness.
We don’t offer escape — we offer union.
We don’t point to separation — we reveal restoration.
And so we declare…
That God may be All in All.
This is the gospel.
This is the purpose.
This is the end… that never ends.
