The concept of Universal Redemption is rooted in the Bible, emphasizing God's desire to redeem all humanity through Jesus Christ. According to 1 Timothy 2:4, God "desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth," underscoring the universal scope of redemption. This idea is further reinforced in John 3:16, which states that "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life," and in Romans 5:18, which affirms that "one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men" through Christ's sacrifice. Ultimately, the Bible presents Universal Redemption as a fundamental aspect of Christian faith, highlighting God's boundless love and mercy towards all people, as expressed in Psalms 103:12, which notes that God's love removes our transgressions "as far as the east is from the west."
