It’s not universalism…It’s the power of the cross!
The power of Christ’s cross cannot be thwarted by anything a human does or doesn’t do. All is of God and Christ’s cross includes every detail of every life leading to the salvation of all. God gives belief to those He chooses, first. The rest are saved through judgement, later. However, in the end, all are saved.
However, Christians like to use the term ‘universalism’ so they can equate the salvation of all with false teaching. Then, the religionist can say ‘universalism’ is false while in reality, they are denying the power of the cross.
For instance, Christians will quote this verse:
6 Jesus is saying to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one is coming to the Father except through Me. – John 14:6
I’ve heard people say, “See, the only way to God is through Jesus Christ.” This is sometimes used to argue against the salvation of all. I don’t doubt for a second that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God. I just believe what scripture declares that ALL eventually come through Christ Jesus.
Let’s be clear that this is not a ‘all roads lead to God’ doctrine, but a truth of the complete work of Christ’s cross that eventually saves every man, woman, child, and living creature that ever existed.
In fact, I contend that those who use John 14:6 to defend annihilation or eternal hell, don’t actually believe this verse. Here is why: We get to God THROUGH Christ and that means it is Christ that brings us to God. People who reject the salvation of all say that it is THROUGH a free-will decision or THROUGH some other work that salvation is won. Therefore, the faulty belief relies on human achievment to bring a person to God and actually denies that it is THROUGH Christ.
We are a product of God’s achievement and not human achievment…
10 For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them. -Ephesians 2:10
Grace and peace to you all.
