All has its Cohesion in Christ

Today I present proof from the bible that all will be in Christ. For all to be in Christ, all has to be saved, it is that simple. The verses that I present as proof are straight forward and easy to understand. However most people do not believe in the plain truth that is in these verses.

Cohesion is the joining together of two or more things.

Most Christians believe that they are spiritually joined to Christ. He is the head, they are the body, but they don’t believe that unbelievers will have this same relationship. While they will be forever joined to Christ, unbelievers will never join with Christ.

However the verses below prove that all will be joined to Christ, and that includes unbelievers.

COLOSSIANS 1:15-20

Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature, for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him, and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him. And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first, for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell, and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens. CLV

Lets now go through the verses above to reveal what it is telling us.

15 Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,

Christ is the image of the invisible God. This tells us that, he is not God, but that he has the image of God, but is not God.

16 for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him,

All is created in Christ, that is in the heavens, that is the Angels, and Evil spirits. Then it goes on to tell us, that the all created includes that which is on the earth, that is humans and animals. Not only that, all humans, animals and spirits where created for Christ. Thus the all, includes all humans, all animals and all spiritual beings.

17 and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him.

This is the verse that not only confirms that all mankind will be saved, and be joined to Christ, but that all animals and spirits will also be joined to Christ. This is tells us that at some future point in time, all will have it’s cohesion in Christ. The only people at this time that have a cohesion in Christ are those who Believe, the body, the ecclesia. However this verse tells us that all, everybody who ever lived will have it’s cohesion in Christ. Not only that all the animals that ever lived, and all the heavenly beings, whether good or evil will also have their cohesion in Christ. For this to happen, at some future time all unbelievers will be saved and be reconciled to Christ. This tells us that unbelievers will not be forever in hell or annihilated. For if all unbelievers are annihilated then they can not have cohesion in him. If all unbelievers are in hell forever then they can not have cohesion in Christ. This tells us that any time in the Lake of Fire is not permanent but does come to an end. Note the Lake of Fire is not and evil place of torture by fire. For the Lake is not want people believe hell is today. There is no hell, the lake is not hell. All people will one day be part of the body, with Christ as the head.

18 And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first,

Christ is the head of the body of these who truly believe. He is first born from among the dead.

19 for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,

The entire complement delights to dwell. Who is the entire complement that delights to dwell? This verse tells us that all humans, animals and heavenly beings will delight to dwell in Christ.

20 and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.

All will be reconciled to Christ, whether it is in the heavens or on the earth, that is the same all that was mentioned in COLOSSIANS 1:16. It is the same all that is talked about in the other verses. It is every being that was ever created, that is every being that ever existed. That is all humans, animals and heavenly beings will be reconciled to Christ. He will make peace with all through the cross.

Thus all will be saved, whether human, animal or spiritual being.
