This is my second installment of my continuing essay on the complete and total restoration of all mankind by Jesus Christ. Aside from this brief introduction I have listed many verses for your consideration, they are listed here entirely and partially without any commentary, I just want you to read them and begin thinking about them as groundwork for the forthcoming essays as we take a closer look at them.
Do not undermine the unfathomable power of the work of Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection redeemed (past tense - it is finished) all mankind. Do you think that God almighty who desires all his children to be restored cannot achieve that? God omnipotent sent forth his word to redeem all creation; do you doubt this will happen? What can stand in the way of Gods plan, free will? Really?
Let me suggest that if one person is not redeemed then Gods plan and Christ’s sacrifice has failed! The rebellion has succeeded by thwarting Gods design, His intent.
Does that seem even remotely possible, can the devil, man or any other thing defeat the will of God? NO, that I assure you will not happen.
So what does God reveal to us is His will?
The following verses I am listing without commentary, as I said I will be going into more detail but I wanted to put these out so that you can begin to meditate on them.
But now has Christ been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. (I Cor. 15:20-26)
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. (Col. 1:15-20)
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is .the Savior of all men, especially of believers. . (1 Tim. 4:10)
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the .whole world. . (1 John 2:2)
And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." (Rev. 5:13)
But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:15-21)
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. " I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. "They will say of Me, 'Only in the LORD are righteousness and strength.' Men will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame. "In the LORD all the offspring of Israel Will be justified and will glory. (Isaiah 45:22-25)
In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth (Ephesians 1:8b-10)
For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. (Romans 11:32)
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (Romans 8:19-22)
He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened." (Matt. 13:33)
Even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. (John 17:2)
