What does the Bible say about universal redemption?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ's death was specifically intended to save the elect and does not imply universal redemption for all.

The doctrine of universal redemption contradicts the Scripture and undermines the core tenets of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. The blood of Christ is not intended to simply make salvation possible for everyone; rather, it accomplishes the redemption of those chosen by God before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). In asserting that Christ died for all without exception, one undermines the efficacy of His sacrifice, as it suggests that some for whom He died could still perish in hell, rendering His death futile.
