Who and How Far?

“All the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.” Isaiah 52:10

In ancient times each nation had its own god. The gods of Egypt were not worshiped in Greece. The gods of Babylon were not worshiped by the Teutonic tribes of Germany. The gods they worshiped were both local and abundant because each god had their own particular purpose. But the Israelites were different. The first commandment said, “You shall have no other gods before (also translated ‘beside’) Me. He stood alone and fulfilled the duties of all the various gods of all the various nations. He was not local because He is the only God who made everything therefore He is the God of the whole earth.

Since He is the God of the whole earth, He can offer salvation to the whole earth. There are no borders with God. His salvation extends to the remotest corners of this planet because He alone can forgive sin and offer salvation through the blood of His Son. That is why John could write, “For God so loved the world,” not just one place or people.

Dear Father, Thank You for salvation that is available to all. Amen.
