Leviticus 19:6 KJB
In this entire chapter, God commands His people to be holy; that is, to be loving and free from sin. But by this command, God does not expect His people to be absolutely holy as He is. God understands that all people, except for those saved by grace, possess a good and living nature created by Him and a dead and evil nature imparted into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). As soon as believers saved by grace repent and accept Christ as their Savior, the Holy Spirit annuls their spiritual deaths inside of them, and He gives them the everlasting and holy life of Jesus so that God can accept their souls and spirits into Heaven when they die. John 5:24; II Corinthians 5:21 (KJB). God can make them as holy as is Christ. Yet, believers saved by grace can still sin as they live out their lives on the earth because their free will, which gives them a weakness for sin, will still adhere to their fleshly nature. Romans 7:15-25; I John 1:8 (KJB). Daily repentance is the remedy for these sins. I John 1:9 (KJB). Some believers saved by grace will backslide into the practice of sin, and they will fail to daily repent of their sins. But when Christ Raptures His Church, He will cause all backsliders to repent of all of their sins so that He can cleanse them with the water of His Word and present His Church to His Father as being absolutely pure and holy. Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB).
But as in Leviticus 19, the Holy Spirit wrote the Word of God as being addressed to His people who were not saved by His grace but who lived under the jurisdiction of God's Law. Some Old Testament saints were saved by grace, but they were few in number. In the Old Testament, God expected His people to live as clean and moral lives as was possible for them to do so. And for their forgiveness, they could resort to faith in God through the sacrifice of clean animals. In the Old Testament, God the Father happened to be that part of the Trinity who punishes sin and utterly destroys evil. All unrepentant sins will lead to the eventual practice of evil which is heartlessness and cruelty of the worst kind. Even in the New Testament, God reveals that He has appointed certain officers of the law to apprehend and punish evildoers. Romans 13:1-7 (KJB). Many times in history, evildoers have attained absolute power over people in some areas of the world. But God ordained His Old Testament believers to fight against evil and to teach the Gentiles to believe in the true God and to be as good as was possible for them to be. In the New Testament, God has appointed His believers saved by grace to preach the gospel that through the sacrifice, death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, repentant believers can find forgiveness and spiritual salvation by His grace. John 5:24; I Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB). For these reasons, all religious Jews and all faithful Christians should be allied in their fight against evil.
Leviticus 19:6 happens to be a prophecy about the meaning of the three days that Christ was buried. Those of God's people who made a peace offering of a clean animal to God could find forgiveness from God if they ate the roasted animal on the first and second days. But God would not accept their sacrifice if they ate it on the third day. In fact, it was a sin to do so. Leviticus 19:7 (KJB). God commanded them to completely burn all that was left of the animal on the third day which happened to be a burnt offering. Symbolically, this meant that when Christ suffered and died on the cross, He had already borne the sins and evil of all humans He had saved by His grace if they received His Spirit by faith on the first and second days of His burial. All humans who become saved by faith in the sacrifice, death, burial, and resurrection of Christ do so on the first and second days of His burial because on those days Christ had them all on His mind. But since Christ suffered and died for the sins and evil of the entire human race, then on the third day of His burial He made a burnt offering sacrifice to save the rest of humanity. I John 2:2 (KJB). I John 2:2 clearly teaches that Christ's sacrifice satisfied God that he had saved the entire human race. Christ's Spirit descended into Hell to leave behind there all of the sins and evil of all of humanity who do not become saved by grace. He completed His task on the third day. Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their good and living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).
King David did not fully understand what His salvation by grace meant, but He did believe that the Holy One, who had to be Christ, would raise him from Hell back to life with the Holy One's own resurrection. Psalm 16:9-11 (KJB). Jesus assured an unbelieving Pharisee who could not have been saved by grace that God will raise his "just" nature back to life in Christ's final resurrection in the end of the world. Luke 14:12-14 (KJB). These examples supply substantial evidence that God will raise the rest of a repentant humanity back to life in the end of the world. John 5:28-29; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
Hebrews 13:8 assures the reader that God never changes. He is always the same. God will forever save any repentant sinner who puts their faith in Christ no matter how evil that person may be. Romans 10:13 (KJB). But God will not save him after he dies? God's Love and compassion for him will be the same after He dies. So, if he repents and believes after he dies, God will still save him. But God has His favorites which means God has the right to give the sinner who repents after he dies a lesser form of salvation.
