Universal Bond Structure
The doctrine that every soul contains within her bonds connecting her to the whole of humanity — bonds of likeness (Genesis 1:26-27: all made in the divine image), common origin (Acts 17:26: all from one source), brotherhood (Romans 8:29; Hebrews 2:11: all bearing the firstborn’s image), and universal redemption (Romans 5:18-19: one righteous act flowing to all) — so that Christ’s love directed to one soul flows through the bond-network to regard and partially spare all others (1 Corinthians 12:26: one member honored, all share it; Romans 11:16: firstfruits holy, so is the whole lump; Ephesians 2:14-16: all reconstituted as one new humanity).
