65. "Woe into you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in.” (Matt. 23:13)
These Pharisees were never charged with having shut up the kingdom of hell they appear to have kept open. They shut up the kingdom of heaven. Jesus desired to have all men enjoy his kingdom. We are assured that at last, all shall know the Lord, from the least unto the greatest. They will then all have entered the gospel kingdom.
66. “All will be drawn up again into heaven.” (Acts 10:15; 11:5-10)
Peter saw, in the vision of the vessel like a sheet knit at the four corners, that all men came down from heaven; that they are all encircled in the kind care of God, while here on earth; and , that “all will be drawn up again into heaven.”
67. “As, by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” (Rom. 5:18)
On the one hand we are told judgment came upon all men by sin; on the other we find “the free gift came upon all." The same many that were made sinners, Paul declares “shall be made righteous.” This certainly asserts the salvation of all sinners. Oi polloi = the many, i.e. the multitude, or whole bulk of mankind, Rom. 5:15,19, in which texts oi polloi are plainly equivalent to Pantas anthropous, all men, verses 12, 18. ” For as oi polloi, the many, in the first part of the verse, does not mean some of mankind only, but all mankind. From first to last without exception all are constituted sinners, so the many in the latter part of the verse are constituted righteous. Within the Christ, all mankind from the beginning to the end of the world are without exception constituted righteous. The evident sense of the passage is this: For as the many, that is, the whole bulk of mankind were made sinners, so shall the many, that is, the whole bulk of mankind, be made righteous. What can be plainer than this fact?

69. “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound; that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom. 5:20,21)
Grace shall abound more than sin, and reign more potently, so that at last all shall end in everlasting life. “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound; that as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom. 5:20,21) What a blessed assurance! Grace shall conquer sin? In every heart where sin has reigned, grace shall set up its empire. Grace shall reign triumphantly and successfully. We see not yet all this done; but it shall be done at last.

70. “shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Rom. 8:21)
The same creature which was made subject to vanity, “shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Rom. 8:21) It is the same “creature,” or creation, which was made subject to vanity, that is to be delivered. Every human creature= all mankind. Every human creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope; because every human creature shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

71. "All Israel shall be saved.." Rom. 11:25,26
Paul teaches the eventual salvation of both Jews and Gentiles. The terms, Jews and Gentiles, comprehend all mankind. Paul asserts the ultimate salvation of both Jews and Gentiles, that is, all men. What serious man can pretend, that by the fullness of the Gentiles be meant only a portion of them, and by all Israel, he meant only a small part of Israel? Was it such a view that led Paul to exclaim, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God?” If God sought to save the whole, and succeeded in saving only a fraction, was the depth of his wisdom so surpassingly great?
“For of him (God) and through him, and TO HIM are all things,” (Gr. ta panta) the universe;
72. "For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. For whether we live we live unto the Lord; and whether we die we die unto the Lord; whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.” Rom. 14:7v. 7, 8.
Paul teaches, that whether living or dying we are the Lord’s. Does Paul here mean to include all mankind? Does he here mean to assert, that all without exception, are the Lord’s? We can come to no other conclusion. He adds, “For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living,” verse 9. The terms “dead and living,” evidently signify all the human race. Of course, all the human race are Christ’s forever.

73. “As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” I Cor. 15:22.
All shall be made alive in Christ, they shall all be new creatures in the resurrection of the dead. The apostle’s language is so clear and full with respect to the final happiness of those who are thus raised. Their resurrection to life will be ultimately a blessing. It may be supposed he is here speaking of the resurrection of the virtuous only. He is speaking of the restoration of the whole human race. All who die in Adam shall be raised in Christ; otherwise the apostle’s assertion would be untrue. The case then would have be, as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall a select number, a small proportion, be made alive. But this is not the apostle’s doctrine. His expressions are equally universal in each case. ALL die in Adam. The same ALL, without any exception, without any restriction, shall by Christ be restored to life, and ultimately to holiness and everlasting happiness.
74. "Death, the last enemy, shall be destroyed 1 Cor. 15:26.
Death is the last enemy, and if that shall be destroyed, there will be no enemies to the happiness of man remaining after the resurrection.

75. “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in corruption, it is raised in glory...it is raised in power... it is raised a spiritual body.” 1 Cor. 15: 42-44
Paul, in his account of the resurrection, does not admit of the existence of sin in the immortal state. When he cries out triumphantly, “O death! where is your sting?”, he certainly means, that sin was absent, for “the sting of death is sin.”
76. "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.” 2 Cor. 5:19.
It is not said, that God was in Christ reconciling himself to the world, for he was never unreconciled to the world; but God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. By the world is undoubtedly all for whom Christ died. God was engaged in this work; he had appointed the means for its accomplishment; and we believe, under his wise direction, it will be done.
77. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Gal. 3:28, 29
According to what promise? According to the promise of God to Abraham, that in him, and his seed [Christ], all the nations, kindreds and families of the earth shall be blessed. In Christ, therefore, none of the distinctions are known of which Paul here speaks. “You are all one in Christ Jesus.” That point being settled, he adds, “and if you be Christ’s [as he has proved] then are you Abraham’s seed, (that is, not by lineal descent, but spiritually), and heirs according to the promise.”

78.“A name which is above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philip. 2: 9-11.
Things in heaven, earth, and under the earth, is a common periphrasis of the Hebrew and New Testament writers, for the universe. What can be meant by things in heaven, that is, beings in heaven, bowing the knee to Jesus, if spiritual worship be not meant? If the universe, (all men without exception) are to render spiritual and divine worship to Christ, will they not all be holy and happy?
79. "If we confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in the heart that God hath raised him from the dead, we shall be saved.” Rom. 10:9.
Being enfolded into God brings us to worship and confession. Net result = at-one-ment.
80. "To reconcile all to himself, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Col. 1:19-20)
The phrase, “all things,” signifies all intelligent beings. It is God’s pleasure “to reconcile all things unto himself”, an irrefutable demonstration of the final holiness and happiness of all mankind.

81. “A ransom for all.” (1 Tim. 2:1-6)
"I exhort first, that supplication, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for ALL men. None are excluded from the divine favor; all have something to be grateful for; for God is kind and good to ALL. He will have all men to be saved, which is the highest proof of his regard for all mankind. The divine purpose is to bring all to salvation.
82. God is “the Saviour of all men.” (1 Tim. 4:10)
The Lord Jehovah is the source of salvation. He wills the salvation of all mankind. He has purposed the salvation of all mankind. He has promised salvation to all mankind. He has confirmed that promise by an oath out of himself. He is the Saviour of all.

83. "The grace of God brings salvation to all men, and teaches us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.”(Titus 2:11,12)
The glorious gospel will ultimately be manifest to all mankind. It brings salvation to all mankind ; this is its design. It was to taste death for every man, that its Author came into the world. As the light and heat of the sun are denied to no nation, nor individual, so the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ also shines out upon all. Father designs that all mankind shall be as equally benefited!
84. “Destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” (Heb. 2:14)
Christ will destroy all evil, and banish it entirely from the universe. He comes to make his blessings flow as far as the curse is found!
