Drs. David Platt, John MacArthur, John Piper and many other notable Calvinistic leaders throughout history have affirmed "that God loves all people in the world (John 3:16) and he desires all people's salvation (2 Peter 3:9)." But the apparent inconsistency of that perspective from the Calvinistic worldview has lead many of the Younger Reformed and Restless types to abandon the idea of God's love and desire for all people. What effect can this have on the church? Dr. Leighton Flowers examines this issue and explains why we must hold to a consistent soteriology that maintains God's genuine self-sacrificial love for every single man, woman, boy and girl.
