SALVATION: MAKING THE GOOD NEWS KNOWN

D. The Gospel Is for Everyone, 10:12-21

(10:12-21) Introduction: God loves the whole world and every person in the world. His love is not limited to any one nation
or people or type of person. The gospel is universal; it is for the world.
1. Proof 1: the Lord treats all men just alike (v.12).
2. Proof 2: all men are saved by the same promise (v.13).
3. Proof 3: the world cannot be saved apart from the gospel (v.14-15).
4. Proof 4: Scripture says the gospel is universal (v.16-17).
5. Proof 5: Israel’s disobedience proves the gospel is universal (v.18-21).

0:12) Partiality—Israel vs. Gentiles: the gospel is universal—the Lord God treats all men just alike.
1. There is no distinction between men, not in God’s eyes. All men are related to God in the very same way. In God’s
eyes, all men...
• are His creatures.
• are sinful and alienated from Him.
• are loved by Him.
• are saved only through the righteousness provided by His Son.
God does not save one man a certain way and another man some other way; neither does God reject a man because he is a
Jew or a Greek. God does not show partiality; He has no favorites. No person is favored over another person in being saved
or condemned.

“But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit
such things” (Ro.2:2).
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him”
(Acts 10:34-35).
“Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? How much less to
him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they
all are the work of his hands” (Job 34:18-19).

2. The Lord God is “rich to all that call upon Him.” Scripture clearly declares:

“The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and
truth” (Ex.34:6; cp. 2 Chron.30:9; Ps.103:8; 116:5; 145:8; Joel 2:13).
