Everyone Means Everyone

A devotional for Wednesday 

Romans 10:13
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

The word "everyone" is one of the most hopeful words in Scripture. It stretches wider than our preferences, assumptions, and biases. Sometimes we struggle with the idea that God's grace extends to certain people. Maybe it's someone who hurt us. Someone whose beliefs differ from ours. Someone whose life choices confuse us. Yet God's invitation remains astonishingly open. The Gospel is not reserved for a select few. It is available to everyone who calls on the name of Jesus. That's good news for us and good news for the people around us. God's Kingdom is always bigger than our categories. His mercy reaches further than our imagination. If God desires people to be saved, we should too.

Question/Challenge:
Is there anyone you've quietly decided is beyond God's reach?
