Who Can Be Saved?

Anybody.

Absolutely anybody who wants to be.

The central verse in the whole Bible says so.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

No other verse in the Bible can be inserted into any section of the Bible and shine the light of interpretation on it.

If you interpret Genesis 15 in the light of John 3:16, you get the interpretation right. If you don't you don't.

You can do the interpolation.

That's what the Bible is about.

In my humble, but correct, opinion, the Bible is very clear that there are no restrictions on who can be saved.

That's because salvation was accomplished when Christ experienced the penalty of your sin, my sin and the sin of every other person who ever has lived, is living, or ever will live while on the cross of Calvary.

Anybody who wants to can become a member of the elect.

God knows whether you will accept His offer, and when you do, He predestines you to become conformed to the image of the Son.

If you choose to accept His offer, you become one of the elect.

Now you can try to argue with me about the nuances of those thoughts if you want to, but it won't do you any good. I won't argue about it.

John 3:16 says what John 3:16 says.

If it cannot be trusted, then the rest of the Bible is suspect, at best.

But it CAN be trusted and is the victory verse of all eternity.

So...who can be saved?

Anybody.

Absolutely anybody.

Now why don't you get busy and tell them so?
