Inclusivity is uppermost .....

The indications, to me,
are that all have been redeemed.
Setting aside the potency of God crucifying Himself,
so we could be innocent,
let's look at some scripture that indicate redemption of all.

This is a love story of redemption,
a love affair with a beautiful but obtuse bride,
a suitor who will do anything to win her,
will meet her wherever and whenever she calls,
will shower her with gifts and love,
will not have a bad word said about his beloved,
and will more than cover her debts,
and make sure she is always favoured.
This is the Husband we love.

Now I will use the KJ version initially,
for a search of scripture,
then, in time, use more relevant translations.
+
.... God commendeth his love toward us, 
in that, while we were yet sinners, 
Christ died for us.
.... being now justified by his blood, 
we shall be saved .... (KJV)

.... God showed his great love for us 
by sending Christ to die for us 
while we were still sinners.
... we have been made right 
in God’s sight 
by the blood of Christ .... (NLT)
+
And I, 
if I be lifted up from the earth, 
will draw all men unto me. ..... (J12:31)
+
As I live, saith the Lord, 
every knee shall bow to me, 
and every tongue shall confess to God. ..... (R14:10)
+
As I live, saith the Lord, 
every knee shall bow to me, 
and every tongue shall confess to God.
And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father. ..... (Ph2:5)
+
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
The hour is coming, 
and now is, 
when the dead shall hear 
the voice of the Son of God: 
and they that hear shall live. ..... (J5:25)
+
We are not His people by compulsion but by mutual desire. (H8)
+
The sinless sacrifice Jesus offered was Himself for All; 
which never needs repeating (it is totally potent). ..... (H7)
+
In its ability to reunite God & mankind, 
the law did not succeed even once. 
Now we are perfectly represented 
by the eternal High priest. ..... (H7)
+

Our hearts & minds are securely anchored 
within the most holy place of God's immediate presence. 
Jesus has removed EVERY obstacle. .... (~H6)
+
