Romans 9:14-15


14 What shall we conclude then? Is there injustice upon God's part? Certainly not!
    
How can there not be injustice on our Father’s part when we just read in verses 12&13 that He chose Jacob over Esau before they were ever born? And we were told that our Father did this to just show us that it was His free will to do it? That seems to very be cold blooded doesn’t it? Well, it would be very cold if it were the Truth that there was an eternity to be spent in Hell. But when the Truth is shown, there is no injustice at all with our Father, there is only justice. Because Jesus has all men, Colossians 1:16, and all men, both good and bad, will spend eternity with Him, Matthew 22:10-13.  
What salvation really boils down to is that all flesh is saved to one degree or another, John 17:2. We all come to the knowledge of the Truth, 1 Timothy 2:4. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, Romans 14:11. Some of us are saved and chosen to rule and reign with Jesus and some are saved to be ruled and reigned over. Some are saved as the Bride of Christ and some are saved as the guests of Christ, but we all spend eternity with our Father through Christ. Jesus likens eternity to a Wedding Celebration, so eternity is a party. Remember Jesus’ first miracle was to turn water into the best wine that anyone had ever tasted and He did this at a Wedding Celebration, John 2:9-10. 
15 For He says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion (pity) on whom I will have compassion.
Amen, we have learned that our Father has mercy and compassion on all men. His love and grace applies to all flesh.
For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32
Think of eternity like a church. Have all been called to be the pastor of the church? Are all evangelist? Do all prophesy? No, but all in a church are loved and used. Our Father doesn’t love the pastor more than the member, or more than the guest of the member. Heaven is the same way. Some have been called to hold offices and some haven’t, but all are loved and cherished. All of this just means that our Father has an order and a hierarchy for eternity. The greatest people in Heaven will actually be the biggest servants, Matthew 23:11. Those who have been forgiven of much will love much, Luke 7:47. The last shall be first and the first last. Even if all of your works are burned up, you will still be saved.
But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that Hell is going to be populated with people. Our Father has to much mercy for that. He has eliminated all laws and there is nothing in place to convict anyone with to be thrown into it. Grace has abounded far more than sin has. Jesus was that successful!
