The World and the Word

                                        The Difference between Sin and Evil

God based His entire higher and lower forms of salvation of the whole human race on the perfect life, suffering death, descent into Hell, and immaculate resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. God gives the perfect righteousness of Christ to all living humans saved by His grace so that He can accept them into Heaven to be with Him forever. II Corinthians 5:21; John 17:23-24. God initiated a symbolic representation of salvation by grace when He killed an animal and made coats of its skin to cover Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:21.

God will use His fiery wrath against evil to cleanse all living humans confined to the regions of death of all their sins and separate their spiritual deaths from them for Him to cast into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:15. All living humans confined there will repent and believe in the Lamb of God as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14. Hell and the lake of fire happen to be the same as the fiery wrath of God. Deuteronomy 32:22; Matthew 25:41. Jesus left all of the sins and evil of all living humans not saved by grace behind in God's fiery wrath when He rose immaculate from the dead. Psalm 16:10. God initiated a symbolic representation of salvation by His fiery wrath when He gave the burnt offering sacrifice to Noah in Genesis 8:20-21. All living humans confined to the regions of death will be restored to life and recreated by Christ's resurrection from the dead. I Corinthians 15:22; Hebrews 2:9; I Timothy 6:13; Luke 20:38; Revelation 21:5.

The Devil counted on the weakness in human free will being able to cause humans to choose to sin which would allow Satan to inject the evil of spiritual death into them which would eventually annul their living souls and spirits which, in turn, would cause God's Love to fail. Job 1:11; Job 2:5; Job 2:9. But God's Love cannot fail, and God never repents of the gifts that He provides. God never loses His gift of life to humans. I Corinthians 13:8; Romans 11:29; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38.

God devised a plan, through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, which will eventually cause all living humans to choose of their own free will to return to repentance, faith, forgiveness, and reconciliation with God. Colossians 1:15-23. God will prove that He can, and will, change every evil system that affects living humans into a good one as He has proven He can do in stories throughout His Word. God has defeated all of the Devil's plans to completely ruin God's creations. Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 21:5; Romans 8:18-23. God proved to the Devil and all of His creations that His gift of free will to humans was not a mistake. Christ has conquered the world, the Devil, Hell, and Death, and He has taken back absolutely everything that was controlled by the god of this world, including all living humans. John 16:33; Revelation 1:17-18; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:22; Psalm 36:6; Revelation 21:5.
