God created man in His own image. This means God gave man free will and the basic ideas necessary to create only good systems. God created man to pass through time, but God observes man as living in eternity. This means that God alone determines who man is and what he will become.
Man has become infected by sin which is the opposite of creativity. Sin causes chaos. It is a destructive force based on negative consciousness. Negative consciousness inheres in demons which somehow emerged from a nonexistent chaos called "the deep" in Luke 8:31 and "the bottomless pit" in Revelation 20:1. The Bible constantly refers to sin as being equal to vanity which means both excessive pride and emptiness. Excessive pride equals emptiness because one images oneself to be something which one is not. Since sin cannot be something, then it must have emerged into reality from nonexistence which one could also call absolute nothingness. Nothing itself is a real idea useful in reality. Thus, sin must emerge from less than nothing which equals absolute nothingness. Job 10:21-22. In Luke 8:18, Jesus meant that the only thing which can be taken from a man with nothing is nothingness itself which leaves him in a state of absolute nothingness. How negative consciousness, which equals sin and excessive pride, could emerge into reality from a nonexistent abyss to infect Lucifer and cause his rebellion against God constitutes a mystery which not even God can understand. II Thessalonians 2:7.
God has devised a plan to completely purge all sin and negative consciousness from His entire creations, including all mankind. Colossians 1:15-20; Romans 8:18-23; Revelation 21:5.
God has created absolutely everything that is positive and good whether visible or invisible. God created a good system called science. Modern science has discovered that every person's life, past and future, is determined by every decision made in every moment of that person's life. In this respect, each person's finite consciousness happens to be quite similar to God's eternal, creative consciousness. This fact means that the reality of each person's life consists of not just the passage of time from birth to death but also of every decision made in every moment in that life which affects both its past and future.
God has provided a special salvation by His grace for every human through the sacrifice of His Son. Every human has free will. God waits for every human who hears the gospel of His grace to decide whether to accept or reject His salvation by grace through faith. John 3:16. The moment any person accepts Christ as his Savior, that decision determines that person to be a believer from his birth to his eternal future. God possesses infinite knowledge, but only of His eternal creations. This means God waits for a believer to decide to accept Christ as Savior, but at the moment of belief, God has also predetermined that believer to have been saved for all eternity. This fact makes both God's predestination of salvation by grace and man's free will to accept that salvation true at the same time. John 6:37; Ephesians 1:9-14.
