Chapter 12 states that saints are 'greater than God.' How does the text justify this assertion?

The twelfth chapter explains this profound concept by contrasting the roles of a saint and a typical divine incarnation. While God's incarnation is for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked, saints operate differently. According to Chapter 12, saints are considered 'greater' because they treat the virtuous and the wicked equally, without distinction. Their hearts are filled with such compassion that they first endeavor to set the wicked on the right path rather than destroy them. This overflowing love for the distressed and their non-judgmental approach is what elevates them in this specific context described in the text.
