God's Success and Man's Failure part six

Whenever a person refuses to show remorse and shame before God and an attitude of desiring cleanness and fellowship with God again, then their sin falls back to the level of demonic rebellion. God never forgives demonic rebellion, nor does it ever desire forgiveness. Demonic rebellion equals total spiritual deadness which God will cast into the lake of fire in the end of the world. Matthew 12:31-32; Revelation 20:15.

Adam displayed the highest level of man's fallen nature when he sacrificed himself by falling to Eve's lower level so that he could provide comfort and protection for her. But Adam had no power to raise himself and Eve back to the level of spiritual perfection. Adam's self-sacrifice revealed a prophecy in action. God Himself would become a perfect man with all the power needed to sacrifice Himself for mankind in order to raise him back to the level of spiritual perfection. Just as Adam had taken Eve's sin on himself, this coming Messiah would take all of the sins of mankind on Himself on a cruel cross. But this Messiah would possess all the perfection and power of God so that hell would not be able to hold Him as it did unrepentant men. This Christ would rise from the dead victorious over sin, death, and hell in order to raise all mankind with Him back to the level of spiritual perfection, some by His grace and all others by His recreation. Romans 5:14; Genesis 3:15; I Corinthians 15:20-28; Colossians 1:15-20; Revelation 20 :5; Revelation 21:5.

But in order for all mankind to be saved either by grace or recreation, all of mankind must, at some time, display some remorse and shame for their sins and a desire to be cleansed from them. This salvation happens for those saved by grace when they repent of their sins and put their trust in the shed blood and water of Christ to cleanse them of all their sins. John 5:24. All the rest of mankind will, at some time in the future, recognize and worship God as their Creator and Christ as Lord. Their recognition of Christ as Lord will demonstrate faith in His power over sin and death, and therefore, their desire to be clean and reconciled with God. Philippians 2:9-11; Isaiah 45:21-24; Revelation 5:11-14. This great worship service in which God will reaffirm all of His goodness and life that He has put into man for Him to recover and recreate will be followed by the Tribulation period in which the Devil will desperately redouble his efforts to try to permanently ruin mankind and thus prove that God's Love has failed. But Christ took all of the sins of mankind on Himself on the cross, and when He descended into hell, He left behind all of the sins of all men not saved by grace. Christ proved this fact when He rose immaculate from the dead. God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8. Therefore, if Christ's Love compelled Him to suffer and die for the sins of all mankind, then how could He fail to save all mankind? John 12:47.
