                                  Chapter Eight

                                                                                                                                              Verses 39-40 continued

Because a blood offering must always precede a burnt offering, God will bring many living humans to faith in that particular seed of Abraham called the Lamb who will wash away all of their sins and evil with the blood He has shed for them on the cross, and He will save them by His grace. Exodus 12:1-11; I Peter 1:18-21.

But through His burnt offering, God has provided a means to a lesser form of salvation for all living humans who do not become saved by grace. Leviticus 5:7-10; I Corinthians 3:11-15. Christ will appear to all living humans confined to the regions of the dead near the end of the world, and in a great worship service in which He will display to them such Holy Majesty and such  Almighty Love for them, that He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him of their own free will. Revelation 5:11-14. Immediately following this great worship service, God will use His fiery wrath against evil, which the burnt offering symbolizes, to dissolve all their systems in order to separate their redeemed, living natures for Him to recreate in body, soul, and spirit to live eternal, righteous lives on His new earth from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:16-17. The inner beings of all humans contain both tares and wheat or chaff and wheat.

For all living humans saved by grace, God will give the perfect righteousness of Christ Himself by means of which He can accept them into Heaven to live with Him there forever. II Corinthians 5:21; Romans 8:14-17. God will raise all repentant, living humans from the regions of death, and He will give them the same form of righteousness that He gave to Adam and Eve when He created them, but they will never be able to sin again because God will have purged all evil from His new creations. Revelation 20:5; I Corinthians 15:35-49. God has promised that He will save all living humans that He creates and loves. Genesis 3:20-21; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:22; Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8. Christ has promised that He will "make all things new," which must include all living humans since God made "all things." Revelation 21:5. Christ has promised that in the end of the world He will make an absolute separation of all that is good from all that is evil. Revelation 22:11-12.

Because of His great Love for humanity that can never fail, Christ will save forever every human who ever lived even though all individual humans have, at one time or another, desired to murder Him. I Corinthians 13:8. Those Jews who sought to murder Jesus merely represented the desire of every person in the entire human race. Acts 4:25-28.
