Pray For All People

I am confident that what God has instructed people to pray for in the Bible will come to pass. Paul tells us what to pray as follows….

“I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Timothy 1:1-2)

Paul even tells us why we are to pray for ALL people…

“…so that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way…and this is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior…” (1 Timothy 1:2-3)

And why does it please God to pray for ALL PEOPLE, even our enemies and Politicians?

Because it is the will of God…

“…God our Savior, who wills all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 1:2-4)

And what is the truth he is referring to?

“…there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom FOR ALL. I am telling the truth, I am not lying…” (1 Timothy 2:5-7)

Later in that same letter Paul further reminds Timothy that the salvation of ALL is the hope for mankind rather than who will become our next political leaders…

“…we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.” (4:10)

So when I pray for the Salvation of All people I can be confident it will come to pass for God has instructed us to pray for all people….regardless of the current theology that condemns most people to hell because they disagree with their particular religious group's doctrine.
