How do we know that the gospel message is for everyone?

Scripture makes it clear that salvation through Jesus Christ is universal, as the Apostle Paul writes, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23). The command to preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15) underlines this inclusivity. In Ezra's day, the call to repentance was for every individual, akin to the church's mission today to share Christ with all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). This underscores God's desire that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, the gospel is not limited by nationality or prior belief; it is God's open invitation to every sinner.
