Chapter 12 makes the bold claim that "saints are greater than God." Can you elaborate on the reasoning provided in the text for this statement?

The assertion in Chapter 12 that saints are greater than God is based on their distinct approach to dealing with wickedness. The text first establishes the traditional role of a divine incarnation as being for the "protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked." In contrast, saints are described as treating the virtuous and wicked as equals. Chapter 12 explains that saints are "greater" in this specific context because their "hearts break into pieces with compassion," and they first endeavor to set the wicked on the right path rather than destroy them. Their primary function is reform and upliftment for all.
