God’s Word is replete with Scripture defining the doctrine of universal reconciliation or what we call Impartial Grace. Old Testament and New clearly reference God’s most salient attribute, love. His love is overwhelming and in the words of a friend His love is relentless. Please visit the “Essays and Such” page and follow the links to OT Scripture and Exposition and NT Scripture and Exposition. May the Lord our God bless us all.

“For from Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”
(Romans 11:36)

Impartial Grace is the biblical truth that God’s redemptive love is not selective, conditional, or ultimately frustrated by human failure. It affirms that the God who creates all, loves all; the Christ who dies for the world, redeems the world; and the Spirit who convicts all, will ultimately reconcile all.

Scripture declares that God shows no partiality (Acts 10:34; Romans 2:11). What Adam lost for all, Christ restores for all.

“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.”
(1 Corinthians 15:22)

Impartial Grace does not deny judgment. It denies that judgment is purposeless, endless, or vindictive. God’s judgments are corrective, revelatory, and restorative.

“When Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.”
(Isaiah 26:9)

“The last enemy to be abolished is death.”
(1 Corinthians 15:26)

Christ’s obedience is greater than Adam’s disobedience, and His victory is not limited by human unbelief.

“He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
(1 John 2:2)

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.”
(2 Corinthians 5:19)

Scripture declares a universal confession empowered by the Holy Spirit.

“Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
(Philippians 2:10–11)

“No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 12:3)

God’s declared will is clear:

“[God] desires all people to be saved.”
(1 Timothy 2:4)

“The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.”
(Titus 2:11)

The end of redemption history is reconciliation:

“Through Him to reconcile all things to Himself.”
(Colossians 1:20)

“That God may be all in all.”
(1 Corinthians 15:28)

“Behold, I am making all things new.”
(Revelation 21:5)

This is the Blessed Hope. This is the triumph of grace. This is Impartial Grace.
