More verses used: Romans 5:18; 11:32; 1 Corinthians 15:22.

To be continued...
That "every knee will bow" does not equate "every heart will be saved". Also this is like me saying "Hey, are you coming to the party? Everyone will be there"..does not mean every one from every nation that ever lived and died or will be born and die will be there

Other verses speak on the purpose of what He did. Yet in context we often see a condition

Col 1:22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
Col 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
