Commentary on Acts 2:21
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved—Peter concludes Joel's prophecy with the gospel promise. The Greek 'epikalēsetai' (call upon) implies more than verbal invocation—it denotes dependence, trust, and covenant relationship. The name of the Lord in Joel's context meant Yahweh; Peter applies it to Jesus (see v.36), equating Christ with Israel's covenant God. This inclusive 'whosoever' (πᾶς ὅς ἄν) removes ethnic barriers—salvation is now offered to all who respond in faith. Paul later quotes this verse (Romans 10:13) as his gospel summary.
