If God can save me then He can save anyone.

Over the years people in forums have sarcastically spouted off how special I must think myself to be saved but I tend to reply it’s Christ who is special, not me.

Though I have on occasion had to resist replying in kind, snarkily, that it is they who must be so special for Christ died and rose for them too and they feel they’ve the privilege to reject the gift offered just because ... and that the redeemed are actually the ones who realize that they aren’t so special. But knowing that they reject even the first principal in that, that He is the one who did in fact go to the cross for us, it seems like it would not just fall on deaf ears but might help harden them even more. So I don’t.

Pastor Wale Maye (Touch of Love Bible Church) basically put it this way in one of his programs: God loves us so much that he even left us the choice of remaining separate from Him forever. However, the place you go to do that is Hell.
