It reflects the inclusive nature of the Gospel, which is not limited to a specific ethnic group or nation but is available to all people. This aligns with the promise made to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>, where all families of the earth would be blessed through him. The use of "all humanity" underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to extend His grace beyond Israel to the Gentiles, as seen in the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>).<p><b>will see</b><br>The verb "will see" indicates a future certainty and assurance that God's salvation will be revealed and recognized by all. This seeing is not merely physical but also spiritual, involving understanding and acceptance. It echoes the prophetic vision in <a href="/isaiah/40-5.htm">Isaiah 40:5</a>, where the glory of the Lord is revealed, and all people will see it together. This seeing is both a promise and a call to witness the unfolding of God's redemptive work.<p><b>God’s salvation</b><br>This phrase refers to the deliverance and redemption brought by God through Jesus Christ. In the context of <a href="/luke/3.htm">Luke 3</a>, it is part of John the Baptist's message preparing the way for Jesus. The term "salvation" encompasses forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and the hope of eternal life. It is a central theme throughout the New Testament, with Jesus being the embodiment of God's salvation (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>). The concept of salvation is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God repeatedly delivers His people, pointing forward to the ultimate salvation through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/john_the_baptist.htm">John the Baptist</a></b><br>The forerunner of Christ, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
