October 31st - Rescued!

"For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13)

Most Christians do not agree with me that ALL humanity will be saved and reconciled to God because it is not what they have been taught. I had read the entire Bible more than 20 times before it dawned on me what the following verse clearly says - that God intends to reconcile ALL His creation through Christ Jesus.

"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." (Colossians 1:19-20)

Scripture came alive for me again when I came to a knowledge of that truth, and now I embrace Paul's doxology of praise...

"For God has shut up ALL in disobedience so that He may show mercy to ALL. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." (Romans 11:32-36)
