Commentary on John 12:31-32 and John 12:47-48 (KJB)

 Jesus explained exactly what His judgment would be when He would be hung on a cross. Jesus informed that His judgment would be of the "prince of this world;" that is, the Devil, and by implication, all of his evil works. I John 3:8 (KJB). In other words, Jesus sacrificed Himself on a cruel cross to purge the world of the Devil and all evil, including the purging of all His living humans that He creates and loves.

Jesus also informed that His sacrifice "will draw all men unto me." This statement by Jesus can only mean that God will make sure that all living humans who ever lived will, at some time or another, hear the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they all will be drawn by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus' sacrifice for them by faith. Since Jesus had already said that He would suffer and die on the cross to purge the world of only the Devil and all evil, then He could not have meant that He would ever purge living humans from His world to be cast into an eternal lake of fire because He created all living humans to be good. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB). This means that when Jesus said that His sacrifice "will draw all men unto me," He had to have meant that He will cause all living humans to accept His sacrifice for them by faith, and He will purge all of His living humans whom He creates and loves of all of their sins, evil, spiritual death, and the influence of the Devil. But God will provide two forms of salvation for all living humans, one by His grace while those believers are still alive in the flesh, and the second by His mercy in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

In John 12:47-48, Jesus clearly taught that while He was in the world in bodily form, He would judge no man, not even unbelievers. This statement by Jesus can only mean that He could not have judged any human when He hung on the cross. If Jesus ever casts living humans into an eternal lake of fire because they reject His gospel, then He would have had to have judged them while He hung on the cross as being some of the evil that He will purge from His world. In addition, Jesus informed that He will reserve all final judgments of all living humans until the end of the world, and then He will only judge them by that which is written in His Word. The book of Revelation describes exactly what that Judgment will be like. Just as Jesus said, the Word of God will be opened and only dead humans, not living humans, will be cast into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). Christ will have already appeared to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God of their own free will. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). He will resurrect these living humans so that He can recreate them to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Christ has promised that "Behold, I make all things new." Since He created all things, then He must recreate all living humans. Revelation 4:11; Revelation 21:5. In John 5:28-29, Jesus taught that in the general resurrection, those who have done some good will be resurrected to life, and those who have been evil will be damned. The living nature of even the most evil human who ever lived has done some good. In order for Christ to effect this kind of resurrection, He must separate all living humans from their spiritual deaths. In John 11:25, Jesus taught that even humans who are physically dead who believe in Him, He will raise back to life. In this statement, Jesus prophesied that He will cause all living humans confined to the regions of death to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God so that He can separate them from their spiritual deaths and raise them back to life. All living humans are forever alive to God. Luke 20:38 (KJB).

Many teach that God has only one form of salvation which is by His grace. But that is not true according to the Word of God. Psalm 50:23 clearly teaches that God will save good people that He creates, but not by His grace. When God wrote this verse, He knew that when He saves by His grace, He saves solely because of the repentance and faith of the believer and never because of any goodness or good works done by the believer. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJB). This fact can only mean that God will provide a lesser form of salvation for all His good and living humans that He creates and loves. Many other verses in the Old Testament attest to the fact that God will provide this lesser form of salvation. God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB).
