Salvation Is Inclusive And Exclusive

"For many are called, but few are chosen." (Matthew 22:14 NLT)

The offer of salvation is inclusive. All can be saved.
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. (Titus 2:11 NIV)
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 CSB)
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV)

The means of salvation is exclusive. It can only be through Jesus.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6 ESV)
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 ESV)
There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all. This was the testimony given at the proper time. (1 Timothy 2:5-6 MEV)

"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. (John 14:1 ESV)
