Universalism

Universalism is a religious belief system that emphasizes the eventual reconciliation of all people to God, asserting that no soul is ultimately condemned to eternal punishment. Universalists often hold that God’s love and mercy are so encompassing that, regardless of a person’s actions or beliefs in this life, every individual will ultimately experience salvation or spiritual restoration. Some forms of universalism focus on the idea that God may use correction, purging, or transformative experiences after death to bring about redemption, while others emphasize the inherent goodness of humanity and the ultimate triumph of divine grace. Although universalism has roots in both Christian and non-Christian thought, it is most commonly discussed today in the context of a theologically liberal interpretation of Christianity.

​

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

-Matthew 28:18-20
