We have found that you cannot possibly overestimate or exaggerate the love and goodness of God.<\/p>\n<p>While the study materials throughout the website will begin to answer initial questions regarding the ultimate restoration of all we have discovered there is more&#8230;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>so<\/em><\/span> much more! It just continues to grow and expand &#8220;beyond what we could ever ask or imagine&#8221;! This blog will help us begin to consider the enormity of what Christ has accomplished on behalf of mankind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Knowing &#8220;how many God will save in the end&#8221; will not change you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Yes, deconstructing the traditional religious paradigm of &#8220;eternal conscious torment&#8221; in hell can bring great relief for those believers who have been in bondage to fear over its horrific implications. But simply the revelation of a universal redemption through Jesus has no power to change anyone. In other words the ultimate restoration of all is <strong>not<\/strong> the Gospel but simply one of the implications of the true Gospel of grace. It is the <em>conclusion<\/em> to the message that God is both all-loving and all-sovereign in His dealings with mankind but it is not\u00a0&#8220;the point&#8221; nor is it &#8220;the power of God unto salvation&#8221; (Rom 1:16).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Understanding that YOU were included in Christ has the power to change you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our goal is not to prove some kind of &#8220;universal-ISM&#8221; but rather our number one desire is to communicate how we can\u00a0<em>personally encounter<\/em> this all-loving God revealed in Jesus! Again, knowing and believing that God someday will accomplish a universal restoration of His creation has no power to change you. But knowing and experiencing personally <em>how<\/em> He included YOU in His death, burial and resurrection <em>will<\/em>! Letting the truth of the Incarnation of Christ and His union with you fill your vision will revolutionize, galvanize and energize your life like nothing you have ever encountered!<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you begin with a meditation of the fellowship of the Father, Son and Spirit where you have your origin (John 1; Eph 1). You began in the heart of a relational God who &#8220;knew you before He formed you&#8221; (Jer 1:5). You did not begin at your birth. Your past does not define you nor does <em>Adam&#8217;s<\/em> past define you. &#8220;You were found in Christ before you were lost in Adam!&#8221; (Andre Rabe)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>The goal of the Living Word of Christ is YOU!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>God&#8217;s ultimate purpose is not to reveal His Son in the Bible, or to reveal Him in history or in the future but to reveal &#8220;Christ in you, the hope of glory&#8221;! Please take some time to steep your soul in this truth that originated in the heart of your Creator who is Himself a fellowship of love. When you hear a Word that began in the same place that you began, it will resonate* and &#8220;out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water&#8221;! (John 4)<\/p>\n<p>We recommend beginning with the revelation of your true value based upon your origin in and union with Christ:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\u201cChrist In You!\u201d-Andre Rabe\" href=\"http:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/andre-rabe\/\">You Are Valuable!<\/a> by Andre Rabe<\/p>\n<p>Your place in the &#8220;Back-story&#8221; of the <a href=\"http:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/the-trinitarian-vision\/\">Trinitarian life of God!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*Thanks again to Andre Rabe for this thought!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the God&#8217;s Love Wins Blog!
