Universal Atonement

Universal Atonement is the Christian belief that Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was intended to atone for the sins of all people, everywhere and throughout history. It signifies that Christ’s death made salvation available to everyone, but individual acceptance through faith is necessary to benefit from it. This doctrine emphasizes God's love and the universal scope of Christ’s atonement, contrasting with views that limit salvation to certain groups. In essence, it affirms that Christ’s sacrifice has the potential to save all humanity, though each person must personally choose to accept it.
