Divine judgment and human freedom

Among us the leader of the evil demons is called the serpent, Satan, and the devil, as you can learn by examining our writings. Christ foretold that he would be sent into the fire with his army and with the human beings who follow him, to be punished for the endless age. God’s delay in doing this has occurred for the sake of the human race, because he foreknows that some will be saved through repentance, including some who perhaps have not yet been born. In the beginning he made the human race intelligent and capable of choosing what is true and doing what is right, so that all human beings are without excuse before God; for they were made rational and capable of understanding. If anyone disbelieves that God cares about these things, he will either indirectly admit that God does not exist, or he will say that, though God exists, he delights in wickedness or remains like a stone, and that virtue and vice are nothing at all, but that human beings only imagine some things to be good and others evil. This is the greatest impiety and injustice.
