The gospel is for all people, as demonstrated when the angel proclaimed that Jesus' birth brings joy to the entire world.
The angel’s announcement, stating that the good tidings of great joy shall be to all people (Luke 2:10), emphasizes the universal scope of the gospel. This aligns with the teachings of Christ, who stated in John 10:16 that He has sheep not of this fold, indicating that His salvation extends beyond the Jewish nation to all humanity. The Reformed perspective holds that this inclusion of all peoples underscores the sovereignty of God's grace—His elect from every tribe, nation, and language are called to faith. Thus, the fulfillment of this promise invites Christians to be messengers of this good news, proclaiming its availability to everyone.
