Col 1:21-23
‘You were once estranged and of hostile intent through your evil behaviour; now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body, to bring you before himself holy, faultless and irreproachable-as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the gospel, which you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant. ‘
Through His Son, God did everything to reconcile humanity to Himself. This is the immutable message which has been entrusted to the Church down the centuries and which is to reach all creatures. Regardless of the situation in which people find themselves, there are no hopeless cases! God has compassion on even the greatest of sinners. He loves them and wants them to be with Him. It is up to us to accept the offer of grace we receive from the Lord.
