Quote / Phil 2:10

Saviour of All

“All men are Christ’s, some by knowing Him, the rest not yet.”

“He is the Savior, not of some and of the rest not … He by the Father’s will directs the salvation of all … for all things have been ordered, both universally and in part, by the Lord of the universe; with a view to the salvation of the universe ... But needful correction, by the goodness of the great overseeing Judge (by means of) the attendant angels, through various prior judgments, through the final judgment, compels even those who have become still more callous to repent.”

“So He saves all; but some He converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will, and in accordance with the worthiness of His honor, that every knee may be bent to Him of celestial, terrestrial and infernal things (Phil 2:10), that is angels, men, and souls who before His advent migrated from this mortal life.”
