And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” . . . “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” (Revelation 21:5, ESV)

The Beautiful Story

Statements of Hope

A Silent Truth

Knowingly or unknowingly, prominent voices in the Christian community give rise to the message of “the restoration of all things.” In Greek: ἀποκατάστασις πάντων (apokatástasis pánton).

“God moves toward His world in care and love. He is committed to every part of His creation, loving it and upholding it.”

Our Purpose

Providing a Safe Venue ...

for the Body of Christ to explore the hope, desire, and inkling that the redemptive love of God in Christ may be bigger and more powerful than we’ve been allowed to believe.

The purpose of God’s Love Wins is to reveal how the Body of Christ together has always supported the Story of God’s complete and final victory over sin, death and evil. We affirm foundational doctrines of both the Reformed (Calvinism) and the Arminian (Free-will) perspectives and embrace the truths contained in the historical creeds.

Continue with us the conversation generated by Rob Bell’s Love Wins, Mark Galli’s God Wins, Francis Chan’s Erasing Hell and the 2012 docu-movie “Hellbound?” by filmmaker Kevin Miller.
