The moving forces here are theological... Not in the sense of what we formally call theology but in the sense of being about God.
God has enemies which include all mankind at its conception.
The enmity plays out in various fashions. A slow smolder or a roaring fire. It’s why Cain killed Abel. God offers to all to plant salvational love in its place, but some refuse unto eternity.
We might be pondering, but for the grace of God there go us, too.
