“The whole problem of our future condition resolves itself into this alternative,–Universalism, or Atheism. If ‘God is love,’ it must be that he ‘will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth’ (I. Tim. ii. 4); and, ‘if the Lord be God,’ he certainly ‘worketh all things after the counsel of his own will’ (Eph. i.-II), and ‘doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth’ (Dan. iv. 35): therefore, ‘if the Lord be God,’ Universalism must be true; if not, Atheism. Which will it be?”
–Rev. Samuel Ashton
