How do we know that salvation is for everybody?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is for everyone because Jesus came to save the lost, demonstrating His grace toward all who believe in Him.

The assurance that salvation is meant for all comes from Jesus' own declaration in Luke 19:10, 'For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.' This statement encompasses the heart of the Gospel teaching that anyone, regardless of social standing or personal history, can be saved through faith in Christ. The narrative of Zacchaeus exemplifies this truth; despite his reputation as a sinner, Jesus sought him out, demonstrating that God’s saving grace is available to those who acknowledge their need for Him. This is a central theme in Reformed theology, which asserts that while humans are totally depraved and unable to save themselves, God's sovereign grace is sufficient to save anyone He calls to Himself. The work of Christ on the cross is fully capable of redeeming those who come with an open heart, reflecting the inclusive nature of the Gospel.
