Paul also instructs them to pray for all people, especially those who are over them in authority in some way. A couple things. Paul also notes in chapter 2, verse 3 and 4, says, This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. That is absolutely clear, that God does not predestine anyone to hell.

God has made every human being to belong to him. God did not make death. We already heard that. He does not rejoice in the destruction of the living. We also hear in 1 Timothy that God, our Savior, desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. He never predestines. He never creates someone for hell. He actually creates everyone for heaven.

We get to choose whether we choose heaven or not. It goes on in verse 5, For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all. This is really important because we recognize there's only one way to the Father, and the one way to the Father is Jesus Christ. He is the one mediator between God and man. There's no other way.

There's no way to reconciliation with God other than Jesus Christ. And this is so important, especially as we're coming to an end of this 365 days is we've journeyed from the very beginning of the story to this point. And what was the whole point of the story? Was God trying to draw people to himself and trying to call them to trust him?

And he's saying, let me be the mediator between me and you, essentially. And that is in Jesus Christ. Now, sometimes people say, because there's only one mediator between God and man, you don't need to go through anyone else in any other situation, any other, like, for example, why do you have to confess your sins to a priest or anything like that? Because there's only one mediator.

Why do you pray to saints? Because there's only one mediator. And we say, of course, the one who actually mediated our salvation is the one human being and God himself, Jesus Christ. So God and man in Jesus is the one mediator who established us, as he says, who gave himself as a ransom for all. Without that, yeah, completely, there's no such thing as reconciliation.

There's no such thing as salvation. But Paul isn't saying that no one else mediates, right? Because we do that all the time. Paul even says to, in his letters, he says, hey, pray for me. What is praying for someone other than mediating on their behalf? Also, even think about this, baptism. Now, sometimes people have a little burr in their saddle when it comes to confession.
