According to the teachings in Chapter 12, what is the difference between how God and a saint deal with wicked people?

Chapter 12 draws a clear distinction between the roles of God and saints concerning the wicked. The text states that the "incarnation of God is for the protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked." In contrast, saints are described as being uniquely different because to them, "the virtuous and the wicked are equal." Instead of destruction, saints prioritize redemption. As Chapter 12 explains, they "first set the wicked on the right path," their hearts overflowing with compassion for the distressed. This focus on reformation and universal love, rather than punishment, is highlighted as a defining characteristic of a saint's greatness.
