2 Corinthians 4:6-7
6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”Gen. 1:3 made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

What is the treasure in v. 7, if not the light of the Gospel shining through Jesus Christ?

Romans 1:16-17
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Faith is the gateway to salvation, available to EVERY ONE that believes. The ONLY Biblical requirement for salvation is faith.

John 3:17
17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Once again, who is the world, but "the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human family" or even more specifically, "the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ". Doesn't that sound like a group that Jesus would want and need to save?

John 3:16
16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,Or his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

What world did Jesus come to give His live for, but "the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ"?
Whoever believes will have everlasting life-- believes what? in the name of Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God.
Believing and faith are closely related if not synonomous and come from hearing the Gospel.

1 Timothy 2:3-4

Is not the Gospel God's call to fallen humanity to believe and repent unto eternal life? Compare with 2 Peter 3:9, Ezekiel 18:32 and Ezekiel 33:11. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but it is His desire that all be saved-- on His terms, however, through faith in His son, as given in John 3:15-18.

2 Peter 3:9
9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

On the premise that the Bible does not contradict itself, known as the "Harmony of Scripture", in light of Ezekiel 18:32 and 33:11, it can fairly be said that this passage of Scripture refers to all sinners, for whom Christ died. The Gospel message is God's call to fallen humanity, to believe and repent unto eternal life.

John 6:63
63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spiritOr Spirit and they are life.
63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spiritOr Spirit and they are life.
It is truly the Spirit that gives life, but this verse is frequently used to support the doctrine of regeneration before faith, which is invalid. To maintain that the Bible teaches salvation before faith is sheer heresy.

John 6:65
65He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.”
65He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.”
To come unto Christ is granted to them that believe. Those who walked away had rejected the message and left in unbelief. Those who heard and believed remained with the Lord.

Romans 9:9-11
9For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”Gen. 18:10,14
9For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”Gen. 18:10,14
This passage has to do with a historic event of election to God's service and has nothing to do with anyone's eternal salvation.

1 Corinthians 2:14
14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The Greek word translated "not" is a strong negative and the phrase means "does NOT receive..." This passage can rightly be rendered, "The natural man rejects as foolishness the things of God..." and therefore has nothing to do with his depraved condition or alleged inability to grasp the things of God, but his willful rejection of the things of God.
