"The Lord is . . . not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."— The apostle Peter (2 Peter 3:9)
The Holy Scriptures reveal that God has a comprehensive plan to save mankind. The plan revolves around the prophetic mission and work of Jesus Christ. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:17, emphasis added throughout).
Therefore, God has "made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ" (Ephesians 1:9-10, New International Version).
Throughout this Bible Study Course we emphasize God's intention to save—through Jesus Christ—the vast majority of mankind from the penalty of eternal destruction we all have earned by sinning. When God completes His majestic plan, He will have given all of mankind the opportunity to come to repentance.
