What does it mean to say that salvation is God’s business, and
God’s alone?
“Who will be saved?” is almost always a question about them, and
rarely about us. Thinking itself wrapped securely in the everlasting
arms, the church has spent much of its history speculating on whether
God will allow anyone else to join the party.

God’s alone, then perhaps we should stop asking, “Who will be
saved?” and ask instead, “How is God calling me to participate in
the redemption of the world?” Rejecting the idea that God chooses

would someday return from the far country into the loving embrace of
the One who created them.
