Universalism
Dave Bosma
Dave walks us through Luke 13:22-30 and explores the concept of Universalism: the belief that everyone will end up in heaven. He encourages us to look at the understandings we hold about God and His love, and to remain soft hearted so that we can hear God.

Faith On The Move: Session 1 – Universalism
Read Luke 13:22-30
How does Jesus respond to the question he is asked in this reading?
Why do you think Jesus places the challenge back on the individual believer, rather than dealing with the question in a “theoretical” way?
Take a minute to place yourself in the place of the questioner in this story:
“Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door! Many people are going to try and squeeze through but will miss out! One day soon the owner of the house will shut the door, and no amount of pleading will cause him to open it again! Make sure you’re not one of those who is left outside, weeping tears of regret!”
How do you react to Jesus’ answer here?
How can we live in response to what Jesus says here?
If you have time:
On Rightnow Media, watch: Apologetics by William Lane Craig. Ep 13, What about those who’ve never heard?
Discuss the video. What do you think of this?
