One common objection to the theology of A Wider Hope is that it makes God seem soft, implying He doesn’t take sin seriously. However, this assumes that God’s wrath and love are opposing forces. In reality, the theological tradition sees love, mercy, and restoration as God’s proper work, while wrath is an alien work meant to confront and defeat evil for purification. The cross of Jesus Christ reconciles love and wrath, showcasing a God whose love absorbs the consequences of sin. God’s holiness demands universal salvation, as He cannot be indifferent to permanent estrangement from His creation.
