Christ's far-reaching atoning work is highlighted universally while stressing the importance of faith for its efficacy. The idea of God's limitless love is captured in John 3:16. Christ's sacrifice is all-encompassing, and personal acceptance through faith is crucial for salvation. Jesus acts as the mediator between humanity and God, and this redemption theme echoes throughout Scripture. Various instances, like Abraham's covenant and encounters with figures such as Melchizedek, Ruth, Naaman, and the Canaanite woman, illustrate God's grace extending to diverse individuals. The New Testament further showcases non-Israelites like the Roman centurion and Ethiopian eunuch embracing faith. The consistent thread is that salvation hinges on faith in Christ's redemptive work.

Corinthians 5:18-20 (ESV) All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
