Addressing Apparent Universalism (Romans 5:18)
Don Johnson, May 30, 2010
Part of the Romans series, preached at a Sun AM service
Rm 5.18 can be construed as support for the idea of universalism. In fact, unbelieving 'scholars' have used it as such. In this message, we show how such a view contradicts the message of the Bible and the message of Paul in Romans, as seen in the immediate context. A universalistic world would be a world that knows no bounds or restraints, not even the disapproval of men. And we address a problem of 'practical universalism', where professing Christians attempt to maintain their Christian assurance but live lives as if God is unconcerned about restraining their lifestyle in any way.

Romans 5:18
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. (ESV)
