Verse of the Day

[Song]

```Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. ```
Present tense suffering. Verb conjugation wise, will we suffer forever in the future? No. Because the glory of God has promised that we will reach a point in the future tense where there is no more suffering. All suffering will be in the past tense as all will believe in Christ eventually, guaranteed future tense.

Was emailed by a friend about this verse, so I will explain in more detail. For clarification, "present suffering" in this context was referring to historically the suffering of the Early Christians around 57 AD, where the glory revealed was the Second Coming of Christ at 70 AD.

Our "present suffering" is different from the "present suffering" that they suffered, yet it's still "suffering in the present tense" in a sense. Eventually all of us will become believers in Christ, that's what I mean by future tense. Sorry for any potential confusion.

Just like how the suffering of the believers in Rome has already ended, so too will our suffering also end eventually. Preterism wise, Revelations is a historical book, and our suffering will also be in the history books, so to speak.

```Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ```
The Lord Jesus has gentleness to all, He does not wish that anyone should perish. Therefore, this is evidence that we will all be near the Lord Christ in paradise as all people will believe in Him.

ἐγγύς (engys)

The Lord Christ's Second Coming occured in 70 AD, that was what was near to the Early Christians. We too shall be near to the Lord, with Him in Heaven, like them too :)

[Song]

```Psalm 40:11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. ```
Does the Lord withhold mercy from anybody? ECT and Annihilationism posits that He does, but the truth is that He does not, because His love always protects people. And this love is for the whole world. John 3:16. Therefore, everybody will believe in His Mercy, Jesus Christ, and thus be permanently saved.

[Song]

```Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. ```
All humans have sin and sin is suffering. Mourning is a state of suffering. Therefore, all sinners, which is everyone, will gain the blessing of permanent comfort in paradise through faith alone in Christ.

[Song]

``` Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. ```
The world is in the night, but how long is it dark out? Not forever. Morning shall come. The anger of God is temporary, and the favor He gives us through His Son Jesus Christ gives us a permanent lifetime through faith in Him.

[Song]

```2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. ```
How does one obtain godly life? By faith in Christ! The Divine God has given us everything we need to be saved. He called us, He is Almighty, thus His call will not fail and all will hear His words. Everybody will be reconciled to His goodness and thus worship Him in glory.

Zephaniah 3:15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments,
he hath cast out thine enemy:
the King of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee:
thou shalt not see evil any more.

One of the less referenced Bible books, but still nonetheless important. It?s amazing to see how, no matter what book is used, God?s message of Universal Salvation exists through all of them. He promises to us that all evil will no longer be seen, thus showing that everyone will be made to be good. God does not waste. He created us in His image, He will save everyone and make all people righteous.

yet another UR verse I found recently .Isaiah 40:5 ► The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.?

[Song]

``` Isaiah 41:4 Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord?with the first of them and with the last?I am he. ```
All the generations, from the beginning until the end will be called to salvation. The first person to the last, all will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and the Omega, Rev 1:8, Rev 22:13 to gain life that never ends.

Wow! That's a good one!  :thumbsup: "all flesh shall see it together" I see as connected to Luke 3:6 All flesh shall see the salvation of God. Both the OT and NT tell the UR truth!  :HeartThrob:

John 3:17: "God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world be saved through Him."

God would not send Jesus to save the world if He knew beforethat that the world could not be saved. God planned out from the beginning to save everyone and He will accomplish it through His Son, Jesus Christ.

amen, Song !

```1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. ```
Rev 21:22 tells us there are no temples in New Jerusalem, the city of paradise, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are it?s temples. The Holy Spirit of God will be poured out on all people, thus everyone will have the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ on them by belief. The Lord will purchase all people with His blood, amen.

[Song]

```1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. ```
Sin = darkness. Ephesians 5:11. No sin = God = light. Christ = God. John 10:30. Christ shall be all in all. 1 Cor 15:22. Thus, all people will believe in Christ to gain the Holy Spirit of God, His light, which removes all darkness. Thus all sinners made clean and universally reconciled with the Lord.

[Song]

``` Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. ```
How long do we have to wait for the Lord Jesus to save us all? How long must we wait for all people to become believers in the Lord Christ? That?s the point. It?s simply a matter of waiting. Because eventually, everyone all will be made alive, that is guaranteed.

```1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ```
All us humans have broken the law of God. We all have sin. Therefore, the sting of death will be blotted out for all people, as everyone will become believers in Christ, the only one who obeyed God?s law fully, so sin has no power over us anymore.

[Song]

```Hebrews 13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. ```

```Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don?t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. ```
The Lord allows the sparrows to rest and make nests high up in the trees. How much more will we find rest up in the heavens? All will believe in Christ and gain permanent rest.

[Song]

```Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ```
And yet there is still sin in the world, sinners who have not been made clean of their wrongdoings. Does God still love us? Yes, He loved us when He died for us, and loves us still, forever and ever. For ages and ages, He will continue to love us and He will wait until all are reconciled with Him by faith in Christ.

[Song]

```1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. ```
The word of God endures olam, לְעוֹלָ֣ם (lə??ō?w?lām), pertaining to ages. Psalm 118:1. The word of God made flesh John 14:1, Jesus Christ, endures in love Psalm 100:5. We have been born in the age of sin, and truly, all shall be permanently born again and go into the age of no sin by faith alone in Christ.
