01-12-2011 - Posted by Andre Piet16 Biblical facts in order
#1. God does not abandon the work of His hands. All is out of Him and through Him… and for Him.
Psalm 138:8; Romans 11:36
#2. There is one GOD, that is, One Who disposes all. He wills that all mankind be saved. “What His love wills to accomplish, His power does not deny Him.”
1 Timothy 2:4; Psalm 115:3; Job 42:2
#3. The whole world and all mankind are the property of Christ Jesus. After all, He paid the ransom for all.
Romans 10:12; 1 Timothy 2:6
#4. That which is lost is always found again by God. If it were otherwise, God would be the Loser.
Luke 15:4
#5. GOD locks up all mankind in stubbornness, precisely in order to be merciful to all.
Romans 11:32
#6. God’s indignation can be fierce according to Scripture, but never endless. Endless are His compassions! His indignation lasts a moment; His goodness a lifetime.
Lamentations 3:22; Psalm 30:5
#7. The word “eternity” in many Bible translations actually refers to an “eon” Hebrew: olam, Greek: aioon. An eon is a world-time, with a beginning and an end. Hence eonian judgment has an “until.”
2 Timothy 1:9; Isaiah 32:14,15
#8. The “etern-al” eonian life and the “etern-al” eonian punishment are, respectively, the life and the punishment of the coming eon. There is also mention of “the coming eons” and the “consummation of the eons.”
Luke 18:30; Ephesians 2:7; Hebrews 9:26
#9. The so-called “hell” in Bible translations Greek: Gehenna is in reality the Valley of Hinnom at Jerusalem. In the future Kingdom of Peace, corpses of rebels will lie there.
Isaiah 66:24; Matthew 5:22
#10. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul looks farther than John does in the final chapters of Revelation. Christ reigns “for the eons of the eons.” But when death shall have been nullified, Christ’s reign will have been completed. After that, God will become “All in all.”
Revelation 11:15; Revelation 22:1,5; 1 Corinthians 15:22-28
#11. The “second death” is not the end. Death is nullified as the last enemy. All mankind are vivified, in the manner in which Christ, as Firstfruit, was vivified. Death is swallowed up in victory!
Revelation 20:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, 54
#12. Just as through one man and one act all mankind became sinners, so also through one Man and one act all mankind will be justified. No human being excluded.
Romans 5:18
#13. God created all through the Son of His love. All He will also reconcile through Him, mutually.
Colossians 1:16, 20
#14. One day every tongue will confess from the heart Greek: ex-omologeo that Jesus is Lord. To the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10,11; cf. Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:3
#15. The living God is a Savior of all mankind, especially of believers. This is the sting of Paul’s message, the apostle of the nations.
1 Timothy 4:9-11, 2:6,7
#16. The realization that One died for all causes Christ’s love to press us toward others. This grace trains us for a life in which He is glorified.
2 Corinthians 5:14,15; Titus 2:10-13
