So minimizing the numbers in hell is secondary then?
Salvation was about reducing the number of people in Hell. All the rest was just making people's wordily lives better. There were a couple instances of Jesus saying that a person's sins were forgiven, but the real work occurred on the Cross.
His ministry vs. his mission of ultimate Salvation is akin to give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
