b'It\\u2019s God\\u2019s desire that every one of us is saved. God is loving and does not\\ndesire to see anyone perish (2 Peter 3:8-10). Jesus came for all people,\\nirrespective of race, tribe, or culture. Salvation is meant for anyone who\\nwill come to Jesus. Anyone who\\nconfesses their sins and puts their trust in Jesus to save them from sin\\nand death shall receive forgiveness (Romans 10:9).\\n.\\nIn Matthew 18:10-14, Jesus was sharing a parable about lost sheep. He said\\nif one sheep is lost among ninety-nine, the shepherd (who represents God)\\ncares about that one sheep\\u2014that one person who is lost in sin. God won\\u2019t\\nsay, \\u201cOh, I already have ninety-nine people who are righteous. I don\\u2019t need\\nto seek after the one.\\u201d No, as Jesus\\u2019s parable says, God will go search for\\nthe lost one till He finds it. In Luke 15, Jesus went even further to say\\nthat \\u201cthere will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents\\nthan over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent\\u201d (verse\\n7). This tells us the extent of God\\u2019s love for each one of us.\\n.\\nIf God hasn\\u2019t given up on any one of us, then we also shouldn\\u2019t give up on\\nanyone. As Christians, we shouldn\\u2019t look at those who don\\u2019t know Jesus as\\nbeyond restoration. We shouldn\\u2019t give up on them, no matter their level of\\nsin, because God can still bring them back to Himself. Instead, we have the\\nopportunity to share the good news of Jesus\\u2019s love shown through His death\\nand resurrection.\\n.\\nNo sin is beyond Jesus\\u2019s forgiveness, and in fact, our sin is the reason\\nwhy He came to live among us, die, and rise again. When religious leaders\\naccused Jesus of mingling with the sinners of His day, Jesus emphatically\\ntold them, \\u201cIt is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have\\nnot come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance\\u201d (Luke 5:31-32).\\nIndeed, Jesus is the Great Physician, who brings the only healing from sin\\nand its effects.\\n.\\nTherefore, it\\u2019s necessary we extend our hands in love to all unbelievers we\\ncome into contact with, showing them the same love God showed us\\u2014for no\\nsinner is beyond God\\u2019s love and saving grace. \\u2022 Shadrach Goni\\n.\\n\\u2022 If you know Jesus, who were the people who introduced you to Him?
