Jesus saves EVERYONE who accepts him. Salvation is available for ALL HUMANS
Some people think that Jesus is just for certain people but not for them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Jesus came for all people. No-one is beyond salvation, no matter what they have said and done in the past, no matter their social standing, no matter how disliked or well-liked they are by others.
If they believe in Jesus and repent of their sins, they are saved.
Here are some verses that prove that Jesus came for all people.
Thus says the Lord God,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel,
I will gather others to them
besides those already gathered.
Isaiah 56:8
The above verse shows that even those who might consider themselves outcasts, or those who others might consider outcasts, are still gathered to God.
Do not let the foreigner joined to the Lord say,
‘The Lord will surely separate me from his people’;
and do not let the eunuch say,
‘I am just a dry tree.’
For thus says the Lord:
To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
I will give, in my house and within my walls,
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 56:3-5
The Bible reading above shows that even those who don't fit neatly into the box of a "typical person" (for example foreigners and eunuchs) are precious to God. He makes it clear that their actions are what's important, not their social standing.
After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 7:9
The passage above is from the book of Revelation, which is the vision of the end times which God gave to John. This shows that a huge number of people were there worshiping Jesus, and that these people were "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages".
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
John 10: 16
In the passage above, Jesus describes how he is the shepherd of everyone of all nations. He makes it clear that salvation is for all his sheep, not solely the Jewish ones.
I have also written separately how no-one is beyond salvation if they believe in Jesus and repent of their sins. There is no sin so heinous that it cannot be forgiven so long as the person is sorry for their sins. I showed the example of Paul, who was a great Christian, but he did terrible things before he came to know Jesus. He was persecuting Christians, which is one of the most abhorrent things that someone could do - it would be incredibly displeasing to God. Paul recognized that Jesus was the son of God who came to save us from our sins - and once he recognized that he was deeply remorseful of killing Christians. Yet God did not cut off Paul! There was still a path to salvation (i.e. Jesus), even for Paul, even for someone who had done such terrible things.
All of the evidence above shows clearly that Jesus saves everyone who accepts his free gift of salvation. It is available for all humans, no matter what that person has done in the past, and no matter what other humans think of that person. Salvation is not just for certain types of people or for certain races. It is made very clear that it is for all people of all nations.
