One is based on the idea of a merciful God who will provide the message of Jesus by means of a missionary. The other is based on the idea of a merciful God who will not condemn people for what is not their fault.

No man is WITHOUT FAULT All men deserve the wrath of God ...

Since "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), there is no one who has the right to freedom from God's wrath on the basis of his own innocence.

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But if we allow the Lord to work through us we are able to be removed from condamnation to the state of grace. But we too must desire to do his will. Which when man dedicates his will in accord with the Lord's will, by doing the will/work of the Lord.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
