If we consider the profound implications of Jesus Christ’s death, which was intended for the salvation of the entire world, and acknowledge that the Bible articulates how His sacrifice is the cornerstone of our personal salvation, then we must recognize that “our” salvation encompasses the entirety of humanity in the divine perspective. This leads us to ponder whether Jesus perceives humanity as possessing potential for redemption. However, we must ask ourselves: what is the value of potential if it remains unrealized? This discourse transcends basic discussions about interpersonal or bilateral relations. If the objective of personal salvation is merely to navigate through political dilemmas that seem disconnected from the fundamental relationship between humanity and God, we find ourselves in a rather precarious position when articulating these ideas. It is essential to recognize that God, as the sovereign ruler of the universe, upholds human choice, necessitating a clear explanation of the coexistence of curses and blessings in every corner of existence. This is a profound truth that must not be overlooked. Isn't it the overarching intention of God to facilitate the salvation of individuals within the context of their interconnected relationships? Rather than achieving our ultimate goal of salvation, we often find ourselves preoccupied with trivial matters. If God has indeed liberated the entirety of the world, then theoretically, no individual should face condemnation. Yet, it is crucial to remember that God also embodies the role of a judge, particularly in the face of suffering. How does one demonstrate potential within the grand narrative of history? It feels akin to perpetually living in a theatrical mindset, where the notion of saved potential begs the question: will it extend into the future? It's no surprise that confusion reigns; there seems to be a lack of clarity regarding potential events in the grand narrative of history.
