The Radical Inclusivity and Exclusivity of Jesus' Message

Jesus' message is both inclusive and exclusive. It is inclusive as anyone can become a follower regardless of social status, gender, race, IQ, nationality, or sexuality. However, it is exclusive in the sense that all individuals must repent and trust in Jesus for salvation. Jesus, as stated in the teaching, emphasizes his uniqueness as the way, the truth, and the life, and salvation is found only through him. This exclusivity is not based on pride or anger but on a relational love.
