16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
The bible states this but then it goes on to contradict itself as it often tends to do with the following verses.
13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.14For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14
This was a parable likening the kingdom of God to an Earthly king inviting guests to a wedding. The following verses backs this up.
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14
This last verse led to a controversy about predestination and salvation.
4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Ephesians 1:4.5
So one on end salvation is for all who believe and on the other not everyone who calls himself a Christian will be saved.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
