Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today's video, we're going to discuss whether Demons can renounce their wicked ways, reform themselves, and return to God, becoming angels again and reentering the blessed and beatific realm of Heaven.

At the core of Christianity is the salvation of the human soul. A person who strays from the righteous path and succumbs to sin can, through the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, be guided back to a virtuous and faith-filled existence. Based on what's written in the bible, and based on the discourse of scholars and theologians, it looks like there is no sin that is truly unforgivable. God's love is boundless, and it is his greatest desire that the soul of each and every person join him in eternal exaltation; so not matter how terrible the transgression, insidious the infraction, odious the offense, or cruel and corrupt the crime, if a person - any person - genuinely repents, let's God into their heart, turns over a new leaf, and lives out their remaining time in a way that is consistent with the teachings of Christianity, they can be saved and go to Heaven and live in perpetual paradise.

While this is all well and good for humanity, does this also apply to Demons? Can Demons, as is the case for even the most disgusting and depraved people, find salvation and once again bask in the light of God as they did before they rebelled and were subsequently expelled from Heaven?

To be clear, if someone is truly evil, they can't just insincerely go through the motions and end up in heaven. An evil person can't just pretend to repent and be good. Well, they can, but it won't work. Maybe they feign repentance, keep up the facade for the rest of their days, and trick some people, but God can't be duped, deluded, or defrauded. He's omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Every person's inner thoughts and motivations are laid bare before him. A profound, paradigm-shifting change has to occur in which a person genuinely comes to feel remorse about their past wrongs, genuinely wishes to reestablish their connection with God, and genuinely wishes to live out their lives virtuously in keeping with the Christian creed.
