God wants no one to perish…no not one!
God give different gifts to each individual for the work of Christ here on earth.
Articulates the idea that those who do not belong to Christ are in many ways influenced by evil and as such opposed to God’s purposes. Faithlife Bible.
Acts 26:15–18 (NKJV)
15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. 17 I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, 18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
Isaiah 42:7 (NKJV)
7 To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
Luke 1:79 (NKJV)
79 To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”
