Four Views on Hell Quotes

“All creation is made “for” and oriented “to” God — and it is summed up and brought to its fitting conclusion and destiny in Jesus. Then at Jesus’ name every knee will bow — in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth (i.e., the dead) — and every tongue confess him as Lord (Phil. 2:9 – 11).23 All will be subject to Christ, and then Christ will subject himself to the Father on behalf of creation, so that God will be “all in all” (1 Cor. 15:28).24 That is the kind of end I would expect for the biblical story.”
