AlabuckeyeInteresting word study- Steadfast Love
#1
One of the things that has helped me grow as a Christian is studying God's attributes....a study that I did this year is one based off of a phrase in the OT of God's 'steadfast love' or the Hebrew word HESED.  Looking into God's covenantal faithfulness will impact your view of God.

It's mentioned in regards to Jehovah's covenant with Israel, it's mentioned in the story of Joseph, the story of Abraham, several Psalms(136 as example) focus on it largely.....

“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,” (Exodus 34:6 ESV)

“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!” (1 Chronicles 16:34 ESV)

“You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.” (Job 10:12 ESV)

“Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” (Psalms 106:1 ESV)

Hesed is an excellent word to describe the Father. Mercy, kindness, loving kindness, goodness, and more.
Youâ€re right AB if we can grasp the depth and meaning of Hesed, we will better understand the characteristics of who the Father is and change out view of Him.

It's verses like that that cause me to wonder if everyone is, eventually, saved.

One of the things you have to consider in learning about God, learning the scripture, growing in understanding, and allowing the Holy Spirit to open truth to you is that God is not contradictory in His nature.  He reveals Himself thru scripture and His nature is clearly seen.  People so desperately these days want to see the love and mercy and grace of God, but ignore the necessary judgment and wrath of God for rejection of that grace.  God is HOLY, meaning perfect in action, core and every part.  His attributes of mercy, grace, judgment, and all the rest are a result of that holiness and are perfect in their manifestation.  If God excuses sin....that denies His core being.  Impossible.  And the Bible clearly points to a judgment, not only for Satan and his minions, but for those condemned in their sin.

Don't take this as a know it all but the answer to your question is absolutely not.
Everyone will know after their death that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior but it will be too late for them at that point.

I know you've stated this opinion several times but you really need to look into this in your Bible and study on this through scripture.
You need some clarity on this to put it to rest.

I don't claim to know, with certainty, everybody's fate.  It's my hope that, somehow, all can be salvaged as I wish for none to suffer.

K9….this is where we must let the search for truth lead us.

God does not wish any to perish either.
II Peter 3…
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

But God does not deny the original gift He gave us.

Again, I have no idea who, if any, will be condemned to Hell. I believe that will be up to Jesus. But, if you gents claim to know, that's OK with me. Smile

K9, it comes down to the value and authenticity of the Bible. That's the core. IF the Bible is the word of God, is inerrant in its transcription to the writers and maintained thru time by the Holy Spirit....all of which I believe to be true, as does IMO every Christian......then we have answers. If you don't believe that to be the core, then not only does one end up being with the wrong answers, but they are stuck with the wrong questions as well.
