1. All Things Come from God
Scripture is unambiguous: All Things come from God: “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” (John 1:3)
All things that exist only exist through God:“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28)
All things that exist were created for a purpose:“
All things have been created through Him and for Him.” (Col. 1:16)
Creation is not a rival realm but the manifestation of the divine field — God’s Will, Intention, and Manifestation refracted into multiplicity. Every creature is a lens of God’s own self-expression.
2. What Damnation Would Mean if it Existed
If a soul could be eternally damned, the following would be true: A fragment of creation would be cut off forever from God’s love. That fragment would remain alive and conscious — yet outside of God.But since nothing can exist outside God, such a “damned soul” would not merely be separated from God — it would be a piece of God’s own being declared unworthy of Himself.
This would mean God is eternally divided, a self-contradicting being who rejects His own essence. To damn creation eternally is to damn God.
3. God Cannot Reject Himself
Jesus declares: “A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.” (Mark 3:24) If God eternally divides Himself from His own creation, His own kingdom collapses into contradiction.
Paul affirms: “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” (2 Tim. 2:13). Every creature, as part of God’s being, is included in that promise: God cannot deny Himself.To eternally reject any soul is to eternally deny Himself. This is metaphysically impossible.
4. The Purpose of Judgment
If eternal damnation is impossible, what then of judgment, wrath, or punishment? Judgment is not eternal exile but purification. Wrath is not rejection but the burning away of distortion. Damnation, when spoken of in Scripture, is the experience of separation until reconciliation restores. Like fire refining metal, judgment removes what is false until only the true reflection of God remains. Damnation, then, is temporary misalignment — never final identity.
5. Universal Return is the Only Logical End
Paul gives the clearest vision of this truth:
“As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Cor. 15:22)
“So that God may be all in all.” (1 Cor. 15:28)
If all things begin in God, and if all things exist through God, then all things must end in God. Any alternative fractures God’s wholeness. Universal restoration is not wishful thinking; it is the only coherent theology of a God who is both omnipotent and love.
6. The Implications For Hell:
Hell cannot be eternal torment. It is the temporary distortion of will and intention, healed by the Logos until all manifestations are restored.
For Justice: Divine justice is not abandonment but restoration — every wrong made right, every distortion aligned.
For the Church: The mission is not to rescue a few from eternal damnation, but to call all into harmony with the field of God’s love.
For Fear: Fear of hell is replaced with awe of love. God’s unconditional embrace is the end of the story.
7. Conclusion
If we truly believe God is the source of all things, then eternal damnation collapses under its own contradiction. God cannot damn Himself. Every soul is a lens of God’s own being, created to reflect His will back to Him. What begins in God must end in God. Universal restoration is not a fringe hope but the only faithful confession of a God who is love.
