Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 25:11-13

God did not write the Old Testament to emphasize salvation by grace. God provided prophesies in the Old Testament about a suffering Messiah and the salvation by grace that He would provide. God did save some of the Old Testament saints by His grace, but He wrote the Old Testament mainly to emphasize His lesser form of salvation. Whenever king David and the other Old Testament writers wrote about salvation, they usually meant that God would save the good natures of humans that He creates and loves.

Genesis 3:15 teaches that the "seed" of the woman, whom God never cursed, would throughout the history of mankind, be hated by the Devil. The Devil would endeavor to utterly destroy the human race. Job 2:5; Job 2:9 (KJB). Job is a symbol for the entire human race. But God would send a particular "seed" of the woman, the Messiah, to crush the Devil and save forever the good natures of all humans created in the image of God, some by His grace and all others by His lesser form of salvation. God made Eve "the mother of all living," which means all humans live in God's sight. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). Since God never cursed His living human race that He creates in His image, and since all humans live in His sight, and since God can never lose anything that He creates and loves, then God must save the entire human race from the plot of the Devil to utterly destroy it. I Timothy 4:10; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). God clearly informed humanity that He will save them all when He prophesied "Behold, I make all things new." Revelation 21:5 (KJB). All living humans are a part of the "all things" that God creates. Revelation 4:11 (KJB).

God does express His wrath toward evil persons in the Old Testament, but He directs His wrath toward their evil natures, never toward their good, living natures that he creates and loves. Psalm 11:6 teaches that God will turn wicked humans into a fiery Hell, but it does not relate that they will be there forever. Psalm 9:17 teaches that God will turn all unrepentant sinners into Hell, but it does not relate that they will be there forever. But Psalm 68:18 teaches that God will save the good natures of even the rebellious humans.

Genesis 3:15 also informs that the Devil plants his own "seed" in every human which happens to be spiritual death, and that internal evil inevitably causes all humans to sin and some humans to turn to an evil life. Humans who lead wicked lives quench their good natures, but they can never extinguish them. The goal of the Devil is to extinguish the good natures of humans and turn them into devils. and thereby, utterly destroy that which God loves. Even the worst humans have done some good in their lives, which proves that God will never allow His living natures that he creates to ever be annulled. Even Judas Iscariot expressed some remorse for betraying Jesus which proved that he still retained that good nature that God created in him. Matthew 27:3-5 (KJB). Jesus even called Judas Iscariot "friend" when he came with a mob to arrest Him, and Jesus definitely saves all of His friends, Matthew 26:50; John 15:13 (KJB).

In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and return to the faith in Him that He put into them when He created them. Genesis 1:31; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God will "reconcile all things unto Himself," and He created "all things," Colossians 1:16; Colossians 1:20 (KJB). God has promised "Behold, I make all things new," and He created "all things," including all living humans. Revelation 21:5; Revelation 4:11 (KJB).

Psalm 25:11-13 prophesies that God will return all living humans to faith in Him and cause them all to repent so that they will at least inherit eternal lives on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
