A Super Short Proof

Taped July 18th 2021
Aired July 26th 2021

Tonight, I want to provide you with a super short proof to show that all people have been reconciled to God by the finished work of Christ and that at death will go to a heavenly realm and not a hellish one forevermore.

Key Concepts on God's Nature

The proof is here:

Scripture says GOD IS LOVE. This love is defined as being patient, longsuffering, Kind, forgiving. Scripture says that GODS DOES NOT CHANGE. Scripture says GOD CANNOT LIE and finally, scripture says that God is not a RESPECTOR OF PERSONS. Got all of that?

If God is love (who does not change) then God is always patient, always forgiving and always longsuffering. If He isn’t always this way (all the time with everyone) then he changes and He would be a respecter of persons – which would then make Him a liar. Since love is patient, forgiving, kind and longsuffering, and since God is love, then as love He IS patient and longsuffering and kind and will always be. We can trust this.

The Role of Justice

Now in response many people will add in the following, saying “but, God is ALSO just.” Boy are they correct in that! And that is why God sent His Son, or as John the Beloved wrote:

1st John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

And then in

1st Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.

So, with justice met, and Him being unchanging love, and not a respecter of persons, and since scripture speaks of God rewarding all according to their deeds, we know that God, while having justified the world in and through His Son and having saving us all from death and hell, that He now rewards all people according to the lives they have chosen to live. Those who’ve lived lives of faith will be rewarded accordingly and those who have lived lives of faithlessness will be rewarded in the very same way – accordingly. Agape love given rewarded, agape love withheld, not.

And in the end, with God all in all since the world has been reconciled to Him, and with none being lost because of Christ, we can trust that all people will receive from Him according to the freewill choices they made with the lives given them.

Because God is love.
God does not change.
God is just.
God is not a liar, and
God is no respecter of persons.
