Whoever
Whoever means whoever. All means all. The whole world means the whole world. God's word is very clear when it comes to salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord, confessing with their mouth and believing in their heart that Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead, will be saved. (Romans 10:9,10,13) The love of God is not for a few, but for the whole world.
Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2) God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (I Timothy 2:4) God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9) All of these things are based on the fact that God loves the world, so much that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) God was motivated by love to prepare the plan of salvation for all people, so that if anyone will confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will be saved. God does not force anyone to confess Jesus or to believe. However, whoever calls on the name of the Lord that way is saved by the free gift of God, not of works so no one can boast.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Romans 11-13.
