How does Chapter 12 distinguish between the purpose of a divine incarnation and the role of a saint?

📖 Chapter 12

Chapter 12 presents a clear distinction between these roles. It states that the incarnation of God is traditionally for the protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked. However, the chapter explains that saints are "uniquely distinct beyond even this." The key difference highlighted is that saints do not make a distinction between the virtuous and the wicked; they treat both as equals. Their mission is to reform the wicked and set them on the right path out of immense compassion, which is why the text suggests they are, in this respect, even greater than God.
