Ephesians 1: 9-11. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
It is God’s will, according to his good pleasure and purpose, that in the fullness of times He gathers ALL things in one in Christ.
Colossians 1: 16 and 20. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Christ made peace through the blood of his cross, that by him ALL things might be reconciled to himself.
Acts 3: 20 and 21 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Christ will return that he might bring the restitution of ALL things, and this is what was spoken by God by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the beginning of the world.
John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus took away the sins of the WORLD, not just the church or a select 1% of humanity.
I John 2:2. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
John 12:47. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world
John 4:42. Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
First John 4:14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
Christ is the propitiation for the sins of believers, but not believers only, but also the sins of the WHOLE WORLD. Jesus is the Savior of the World. Satan wins NOTHING and NO ONE.
Hebrews 7:25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Jesus ever liveth to make intercession for all men. This means that his intercessory work never ceases… not even after death.
Romans 11:26. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
ALL Israel shall be saved, not a one will be lost.
Titus 2:11. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
The grace of God that brings salvation will have appeared until ALL men. Those who never heard on this earth will hear again in the hereafter. Those who rejected him on this earthly sod will have that grace appear to them at some point in the hereafter.
Romans 11:32 and 36. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen
God concluded Israel in unbelief, that he might have mercy on ALL mankind. This is because all things created are for him, through hi, and all things are to glorify him forever.
Ephesians 4:10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Christ ascended that he might fill ALL things.
First Corinthians 3:15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Mark 9:49. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
God’s judgments are fire…they are purifying and though souls suffer great loss, they shall be saved yet so as by fire.
I Corinthians 15:26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. The very state and condition of death will be eradicated. All will experience life. Death’s cold hands will hold no one in defiance to our Holy and merciful God. If a single human soul were to remain in a state of death or spiritual death, death would still very well exist and still very well be a reality to that soul and all souls who beheld him.
I Corinthians 15:22-28
{15:22} For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {15:23} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. {15:24} Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. {15:25} For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. {15:26} The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. {15:27} For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. {15:28} And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
As in Adam ALL die without exception, even so in Christ shall ALL be made alive without exception, but every man in his own order. Christ was the firstfruits of the resurrection. Soon those of us who are Christ’s will be raised to life at his coming. Then the end will come when Christ will have delivered up the kingdom to God, all authority and rule will be subject to Christ. Christ will reign until he has brought all enemies under his rulership. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death, the very state and condition of death will be vanquished. This means all who were held in the grip of death (both physical and spiritual) will be brought into life by the blood of the lamb. Then shall the Son be subject to God that God might be ALL in ALL.
Christ didn’t die on the cross to save a sliver of mankind. Christ died to plunder Satan and redeem ALL men. And that’s exactly what he will do… Satan wins NOTHING.
Child of God, have you lost a loved one who didn’t know God? Are you troubled at the prospect that God will torture their souls forever? Know this, our God is loving and just. And yes, you will one day see them again in Heaven, reconciled by the blood of the Lamb. Both you and they will look back at the cross and realize that Jesus indeed paid it ALL.
