Thus,
this is the sentence
  on all men:
God alone is holy.
Therefore,
  all other men
are destined to have
  sinned.
And so evil exists
  in the world in which
  we live.
And it must be
  contended with.

Yet
there will be
  no argument
in the highest heaven.
There will be
  no divided loyalties
  in the midst of it.
There will be
  no question as to
  who is God.
It will be
  absolutely obvious.

For God alone
  is completely Perfect.
And everyone else
  has sinned.
And no one
  will enter heaven
without admitting God’s
  holiness
by confessing that God
  is more righteous than them.

But if you truly understand
  that you have sinned,
then you must also
  then repent.
For though
  evil in the world
  must exist,
God will contend
  with it.
God will punish
  those who sin.
And God will forgive
  those who repent.
For God does not
  justify sin.
He does not give us
  a reason
for someone
  to do evil things.

Yet
if God does not forgive,
then He Himself
  justifies sin.
For either you will be
  saved,
  or you will be condemned.
There is no alternative.
So if God will not save
  when you repent,
then God declares
  that you will be damned.
But if God were to
  tell someone
that he cannot be saved
  even if he repent,
then that person
  would have no reason
  to honor God,
and he would have no reason
  to do what’s just.
He would have every right
  to hate God.
He would have every right
  to do the most evil things
that he can possibly
  think of.
For if you are going to be
  punished for it
  in any event,
then you might as well
  act like it.

But since God does not
  justify sin,
He cannot tell someone
  that he will be condemned
and yet then
  allow him to also live.
So those instead
  who are allowed to live
can be forgiven
  if they repent.
