If those words are NOT in the text, why do you say it is a "clear scripture?
Here is another clear scripture I am sure you will love;
jn3:
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,
16 for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.
right
we have to hear the gospel to believe it. He sent the gospel to every creature for salvation
Whoever
believes the truth the gospel God spoke and then went to all creatures will be saved
That scripture there John 3:16 is true God loves all people and his Will is that all people would repent and believe the gospel and be saved .
our Will often is to not hear what God said therefore we can’t believe what it is he said we have to hear what Jesus the savior said about salvation and accept it
“And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
We can’t believe things we won’t hear about and accept is what I’m saying like this
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
This clearly is the son of God teaching believers in him about forgivness and how God will apply mercy and judgement. But many can’t accept this because it requires someone who needs and believes it to begin acting upon it making forgivness not an afterthought but puts it in front of us as an imperative aspect of our own salvation
if you do this , God will do this . But if you do this other thing , God also will do this other thing.
That’s what faith is. It has to begin with what He said to someone and what he’s said to all mankind is the gospel
“And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
All a man does is hear what God said and either we accept it and live or reject it and die. We’ve all heard this first before we could believe it
“For I
delivered unto you first of all that
which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
1 Corinthians 15:3 KJV
If no one ever tells anyone that they can’t believe it and be saved God can and is willing to save everyone but we also have to cooperate with him according to the offer of salvstion he made and promise written in his own blood
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
“And the gospel must first be published among all nations.”
Mark 13:10 KJV
Yes everyone that believes will be saved but we have to believe the gospel he sent for us to believe and be saved
