Commentary on the Gospel of John

                                  Chapter Fifteen

                                                                                                                                               Verse 22 continued

All humans who come to realize that they are deliberate sinners by the conviction of the Holy Spirit when they hear or read the Word of God come under a more severe judgment of God if they reject His salvation by grace. God's judgment comes upon all sinners because as soon as a person realizes by the conviction of their conscience that they have done something wrong, then they immediately acquire spiritual death. But to the same extent that God's judgment comes upon all sinners, the righteousness of One gives the free gift to all humans. The free gift is God's salvation of which He has two forms. God's higher form of salvation is by His grace. God's lesser form of salvation happens when Jesus appears to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and causes them all to repent and believe in the Lamb of God of their own free will. Revelation 5:11-14. Faith and love that are freely given can only be real because it cannot be programmed. God's Almighty Love and Intellect gives Him the exact knowledge He needs to devise a plan that will save all humans from sin and spiritual death. Romans 5:12-21. God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Almighty Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8.

When the Law came which is the Word of God, sin abounded because humans became more responsible to repent of their sins because the Word gave them a greater awareness of their sins and evil. But when the entire Word of God came, which was the addition of the New Testament, then grace became more powerful than sin and spiritual death because humans learned about the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ that can save them from sin and spiritual death while still alive in the flesh. But Jesus came to sacrifice Himself to purge all sin, evil, and spiritual death from His entire creation, and rise from the dead victorious over the Devil and all evil. John 12:31-32; I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:9-15; Revelation 1:17-18; I Timothy 6:13; I Timothy 4:10; Revelation 21:5. No verse in the entire Bible (KJB) teaches that if any person rejects the grace of God until their physical death, that person will remain in a burning Hell forever. God will save all living humans from sin and spiritual death either by His higher form of salvation by His grace or by His lesser form of salvation when He appears to all living humans confined to the regions of death and causes them all to repent and believe in Him of their own free will. Romans 5:18-19; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Philippians 2:9-11; Genesis 8:20-21; Revelation 21:5.
