“Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you." (Matthew 21:31)

There is no difference between Jew or Gentile, sinner or saint, devout or irreligious, in that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Thankfully, Jesus is the Savior of ALL men. The only difference now lies in the time we put our faith in Him. Those who do enter His kingdom ahead of those who haven't - yet.

One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father. That will happen despite the fact that we have free will and have the ability to say no to Him. How? We don't know. All we know is that His love endures forever and that He is patient, not willing for any to perish but that all come to repentance and have life. What we don't know is if anyone can stubbornly reject that love for eternity.
