No one beyond reach

Jul 16, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; John 1:11-12


Devotional: The beauty of the gospel is its universal availability. Paul preached "to the Jew first and also to the Greek"—meaning everyone. No one is too far gone, too sinful, too broken, or too lost for God's saving grace. The Corinthian passage reminds us that many believers were once living in deep sin—fornicators, idolaters, thieves, drunkards—but they were washed, sanctified, and justified. "Such were some of you" are powerful words of transformation. Perhaps you're struggling to believe God can save someone you know. Maybe you doubt your own worthiness. Today, remember that salvation doesn't depend on human qualification but on divine power. God specializes in reaching the unreachable. Pray for someone you consider "too far gone," and trust God's power to save.
