'Those who receive' in Romans 5:17 conditions justification on reception; Romans 10:13 confirms call-response salvation
Winger highlights the word 'receive' in Romans 5:17 as the hinge that prevents universal atonement from collapsing into universalism.
Romans 5:17: 'those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life.' The gift has been purchased universally, but it must be received individually. Romans 10:13 parallels this: 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved' — calling/receiving is the application step.
