"...grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18)
Paul prayed the following prayer for those who believed the gospel (good news)..."Therefore we also, from the day on which we hear, do not cease praying for you and requesting that you may be filled full with the realization of HIS WILL, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding..." (Colossians 1:9)
He would later tell Timothy what His will is and what they should rely on. He says that God...
"WILLS that all humanity be saved and come into a realization of the truth. For there is one God, and one Mediator of God and humanity, a Man, Christ Jesus, Who is giving Himself a correspondent ransom for ALL..." (1 Timothy 2:3-6)
"...rely on the living God, Who is the Savior of all humanity, especially of believers. These things be charging and teaching." (1 Timothy 4:10-11)
I am a slow learner so it has taken many years to finally feel confident in my understanding of God's plan. It is really good news for humanity, and all other created beings. The truth as I understand it is that God intends to save "all humanity" and reconcile all other creatures to Himself through Jesus, His only begotten Son.

I read the Bible in order to grow in that "grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
