Inclusive

Inclusive means "taking a great deal or everything within its scope - comprehensive." Salvation is comprehensive, inclusive it leaves out nothing. Salvation includes everything, it is comprehensive.

They don't seem to realize that this comprehensive setting-things-right that is salvation is God's business, and a most flourishing business it is.

Romans 10:2

God's business is to bring everyone and everything to salvation. I love this scripture because it says that God's business is a flourishing business! At time we do not act like it is this kind of business. We spend most of our time acting like people are excited about God, but do not understand that God is comprehensive and inclusive. We tell ourselves and others that God is not a part of, God does not love, and God could never.... because it does not fit the picture we have built of God. We leave out so many things and people that God is completely in love with, created, and wants to have a relationship with, and has a relationship with! We do not act like the Jesus that walked this earth and included everyone in his message that he could, that would listen, that would allow themselves to be challenged by his message.

Remember to not exclude anyone from the grace of God, from the connection to God, and dismiss them because they do not fit the idea that we think God would accept. Rather be inclusive and be filled with the wonder and compassion of God that would accept and love someone that we would reject. See Jesus Christ in all his distressing disguises.
