On What Other Biblical Arguments Does Belief in Universal Reconciliation Rest?

In the first place, on explicit statements such as:

• As through one man all mankind was condemned, so also through one Man all mankind will be justified (Romans 5:18);
• GOD wills that all mankind be saved (1 Timothy 2:4), and He is the Savior of all mankind (1 Timothy 4:10);
• Every tongue will sincerely confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:11);
• Death, as the last enemy, will be abolished by making all alive, after which God will become All in all (1 Corinthians 15:22–28).

Besides the explicit statements above, there are also more general statements about who GOD is, by which it is no more than logical that He will make everything right:

• GOD does not abandon the works of His hands (Psalm 138:8);
• GOD seeks what is lost until He finds it (Luke 15:4);
• GOD has locked up all together in disobedience, that He should be merciful to all (Romans 11:32);
• GOD is almighty and able to realize everything He wills (Job 42:2).

In addition, there are also countless statements that emphasize the all-embracing scope of the work of Jesus Christ:

• Christ Jesus gave Himself as a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2:6);
• Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world (John 4:42);
• Jesus Christ is a propitiation not only for our sins, but also for the whole world (1 John 2:2);
• etc.
