Job 29:1-25
God also put into His plan a means whereby the weakness in the free will of man can never cause his eternal, spiritual death. Man can sin and deny his faith which can only temporarily thwart the will of God, but man's sin can never thwart the eternal will of God which is to save all mankind from eternal separation from Him. Revelation 5:11-14 prophesies that one day God will effect a tremendous worship service in which all that He ever created will worship Him. All living humans that God consigned to the regions of the dead because they failed to receive Christ as their Savior while alive in the flesh will return of their own free will to repentance and faith in Christ as their Savior. God will resurrect these living humans in Revelation 20:5 for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5; John 5:28-29.
Man sins because of the influence of evil that Satan put into his being. The difference between sin and evil is that God will always cleanse and forgive sin in man when he repents and returns to faith in God his Savior, but God will never forgive evil because it will never repent. Matthew 12:31-32; Revelation 9:20-21. While evil causes the living image of God in man to sin, nevertheless, evil is foreign to the being of man. God has compassion for fallen man because He recognizes that the weakness in man's free will causes the image of God in him to become tainted by sin caused, in turn, by the influence of evil within his being. Isaiah 1:18 means that the good life from God in man has become stained by sin. God will always cleanse and forgive sins upon repentance and faith in Christ to which all men will return. God will also cleanse all evil from humans and His universe by His use of His consuming fire, but He will never forgive it because it will never repent. In the end of the world, God will cast all total evil into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15.
In the book of Job, God used Job to symbolize the history and the fate of all mankind.
