Everyone- Get Closer To God


Everyone.

" For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. "

- Romans 10:13 (NLT)

Hello Reader,

Let's take a little time today to explore a verse in Scripture that is as relevant today as when it was first written.

We must acknowledge that we live in a world and culture that thrives on dividing people by race, gender, political status, wealth, education, and past mistakes; the list goes on.

No matter what in God's eyes, everyone is included.

Back when this was written, there was major tension between the Jewish people and the Gentiles (non-Jewish).

The Apostle Paul traveled extensively to share the Word of God with anyone willing to listen and accept salvation.

There were no divisions in his mind, nor in God's.

A Little History...

This verse is part of Apostle Paul's broader message in his letter to the Romans, where he explains how salvation is available to both Jews and Gentiles—not by works, but by faith.

Romans 10 especially emphasizes that salvation is by grace through faith, and it's available to everyone, not just a specific group.

Paul is quoting another verse in scripture from the Old Testament- Joel 2:32, showing that God's promise to save those who call on Him has always been part of His redemptive plan.

How to Apply It To Your Life...

Call on God Daily

This verse reminds us that salvation and strength come from calling on the Lord—not just once, but as a lifestyle. Make prayer and seeking God's guidance a regular rhythm, not just a crisis response.

Try this: Begin your day by simply saying, “Lord, I need You today.”

Share the Good News

If anyone who calls on God can be saved, then we’re invited to help others hear this truth. Be open to sharing your faith story and inviting others to trust in Christ.

Try this: Look for a natural opportunity this week to share why you believe in Jesus.

Believe God’s Grace Is for Everyone

This promise is for everyone. Let it shape how you view others—including those who seem far from faith. No one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

Try this: Instead of writing someone off, pray for them by name and trust God to work.

Let's Pray Together...

Dear God,

I lift up a prayer for everyone—no matter where they come from or what their background may be.

Your salvation and your message are for all of us. I pray that the divisions in our world—whether by race, culture, politics, or belief—no longer shape our hearts or guide our actions.

You sent your Son to die for all of us, and your love cannot be earned or confined by human boundaries.

Help us live together in unity, as your children, receiving your mercy and grace and lifting your name in praise.

Amen.

Let's Sum It All Up...

The message today is clear: God's love, mercy, grace, and intentions are for everyone to embrace. We must pray and share His love with all.

If we choose to become a disciple, that means we are united in purpose, spreading His Word and reaching out to those who need to hear about God and welcome Him into their lives.

Take a moment today to think of someone who could benefit from this message, and reach out to help them find the peace and love that God is ready to offer.

Thank you for reading this letter today, and my prayers are with you. Please pray that this letter and its purpose reach more people.

Have a blessed day and week out there.
