Most Christians believe that God will not help any unbeliever after they have physically died. They believe this even though the Bible (KJB) teaches that God has Almighty Love and Compassion which can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8. They believe that God creates humans in His own image, but they ignore the fact that that means they all have a latent faith which God can always awaken. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27; Romans 12:3; Revelation 5:11-14. They believe God loses unrepentant sinners to the lake of fire forever even though His Word teaches that everything He creates can only be eternal. Sinners in a lake of fire have lost their eternal life that God creates. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8. God's Word teaches that all humans are alive to Him. Luke 20:38. Unrepentant sinners whom God must consign to the regions of death still retain the image of God that He put into them. That part of their systems belongs to God, and He will recover His creations. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; John 5:28-29. Jesus taught that with God "all things are possible." Matthew 19:26. They believe that God will lose unrepentant sinners even though Jesus has told them that He has "the keys of hell and of death," which can only mean that He has all power over hell and death. Revelation 1:17-18. Jesus has the power to recover that which He has created from the pits of Hell. Christ has promised that He will "make all things new." Revelation 21:5. God has created all things, including the lives of all humans. That can only mean that God will recover and recreate all human lives that have been stained by sin and evil. Revelation 4:11. Many other verses in the Bible (KJB) teach that God will eventually save all of His living humans from eternal death.

Humans do not lose their living natures when they physically die because God has created their living natures to be eternal. God will save the lives of all humans, some by His grace and all others in a great worship service near the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14. That humans do not lose their living natures is evidenced by the fact that the rich man in Hell begged Abraham to send the poor man Lazarus to preach to his brothers so that they would not go to Hell. Luke 16:27-31. The rich man demonstrated that He still retained some compassion which resided in his living nature that God created. God told Eve that he had made her "the mother of all living," and God can never lose anything He has ever created. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; Psalm 36:6.

Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead to save all living humans from permanent spiritual death, some by His grace and all others in a great worship service near the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14. Jesus had to take away all spiritual death and the sin that causes it because humans are helpless to save themselves. Romans 5:6-8. Jesus came to utterly destroy the Devil and all his evil works, not living humans. John 12:31-32; Hebrews 2:9-15; I John 3:8. God will resurrect all living humans saved by grace in the Rapture of the Church, and He will raise back to life all of His living humans confined to the regions of death when He causes them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God in the end of the world. I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Matthew 15:13; Matthew 13:36-43.
