“If one wants to grow in the knowledge of God he must go beyond simplistic readings of individual verses and try to fit all the Scriptural data together.

What is next - a call for a Magisterium to explain scripture to us?
Sola Scriptura is worthless IF a person cannot read the scriptures and find what to do to be saved. And that means using hundreds of plain verses to explain 4 or 5 hard ones, not using 4 or 5 hard ones to explain hundreds of simple ones.
30Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” - Acts 16
Doesn’t take a degree in theology!
If God wanted all men to be saved, all men would be saved. He’s God. We’re not.
It does however take humility to see that one is NOT the captain of his own ship, he does not own the ship or direct its route.. the port is determined by the one that owns the ship..
Pride is an insidious sin.
And speaking of Rome, if it weren't for these Reformers who all believed in sovereign grace you would still be kissing the Pope's ring and bowing to statues of Mary.
