How do we know God's grace is extended to all people?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is shown to extend to all people through Christ's interaction with the Samaritan woman, revealing His desire to redeem everyone.

The narrative of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well serves to illustrate the scope of God's grace as intended for all nations and peoples. In John 4:4, it is noted that Jesus 'must needs go through Samaria,' highlighting a divine imperative to reach those who are spiritually lost, including those the Jews would regard as unworthy or inferior. This act of engaging with a Samaritan – a group long despised by the Jews – underlines that God’s grace breaks cultural and ethnic barriers. The fact that Christ is actively seeking out individuals in need of spiritual salvation not only affirms the universal call of the Gospel but also reminds believers of the precious truth that no one is beyond the reach of God’s redemptive love. This should encourage Christians to embody that same outreach and compassion in their own lives, reflecting Christ's example.
