The concept of Universal Salvation, also known as Universalism, posits that all people will ultimately be saved and reconciled to God, regardless of their faith or actions during their lifetime. This idea is rooted in biblical passages such as Romans 11:32, which states that God has "bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all," and 1 Timothy 2:3-4, which expresses God's desire for "all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." Additionally, Psalms 145:9 notes that God's "compassions are over all his works," suggesting a universal scope to God's mercy and love. While not universally accepted among Christian denominations, the idea of Universal Salvation is supported by various biblical verses that emphasize God's all-encompassing love and desire for redemption.
