What The Holy bible Tells Us Pertaining to Universal Salvation
Most Christians visit church every Sunday. Alright not really most, but nonetheless a substantial majority. A young Christian has been to hundreds of sermons and gospel readings by the time he or she turns into an adult. Ask her or him how many times he or she has heard the actual clergyman have a discussion about universal salvation, and he or she will tell you not very often. It is uncommon for a Christian pastor to speak about universal salvation. Why? To put it simply, the topic is too comprehensive to go over in a single sitting. If the sermon went the distance, many people would grow board, yawn, and simply leave.
What is it about universal salvation that turns Christian pastors off? Well, it’s because to talk about universal salvation is usually to dig deep within the words of the Bible text. Take notice, universal salvation is not about God saving each religion. That thing right there is Universalism. Universal salvation is far away from universalism. It appears to be exactly the same, but those two are completely different things.
What is universal salvation?
Universal salvation is the notion that all people, each and every individual on Earth–a businessman, a house wife, a priest, a convicted murderer, the President of the United States–will be rescued by Jesus Christ by way of the love of God. Yes, even that unpleasant old lady next door.
Do you get the “other meaning” of the message. As a consequence of everybody being rescued by Jesus Christ, no one is sure to end up in hell. Merely being alive and breathing is a ticket to the kingdom of God, to the gates of heaven, and there is practically nothing the fires of hell is going to be able to do anything whatsoever about it.
Let’s look at some Bible Verses and Quotes referring this topic.
“Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.” (Romans 5:18)
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men-the testimony given in its proper time.” (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
“But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” (John 12:32)
“…(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.” (1 Timothy 4:10)
The Bible states it evidently that God’s love “brings life for all men”. The salvation that is offered with the coming of Jesus Christ encompasses all. The problem is that a majority of Christian believers are not ready to accept this Biblical reality, because it means you could be a non-Christian and still be rescued. Alternatively non-Christians would be fired up to hear this. Yet the Bible holds the truth, no matter what everyone wants, that all people will be saved by Jesus Christ in due time.
As a true Christian we must accept this fact. It is written in the Bible Verses and Quotes after all. God’s love affects us all, Christian and non-Christian alike.
