The chief property of a sieve is the size of the apertures through which particles may pass.   

Evil is the absence of Good.   
It was not created.   
It is a void.   
It is empty space.   

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.     And the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:2 The Holy Spirit created all the elements and forces that exist in the universe by preincarnate Christ Jesus.     But those elements and forces were simply the ingredients that He would use to form the earth into the beautiful, orderly, productive place that it is.

And the Lord said, Let there be light: and there was light. Gen 1:3 The Lord defines light and goodness.     In so doing, He defined darkness and evil.      Jesus is the Light that the Holy Spirit brought forth.     He is the Soul Of God that conceptualized Light, spoke the Light and then manifested it in human form.

So we see that void existed before there was something.   

Our Creator defined light and ordained it.   He chose light and goodness for Himself.   

On the sixth day our Creator made man in His image.   This means He made man like Himself and gave him the ability to choose.   

Our Creator could have made a 'perfect' world wherein it was impossible for evil to exist.   

But He didn't.   

He didn't because He wanted to fellowship with beings like Himself who, given the opportunity, would choose light and goodness over the void of darkness and evil.   

This is The Great Sieve.   

After 4000 years of allowing man to flounder in the gift of Free Will, our Creator made Himself a body of flesh and became one of us.   

But when the fulness of the time was come, the Holy Spirit sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Gal 4:4 The Lord brought life out of the death that was upon mankind by Original Sin and that was upon us by breaking the Law.

His name is Jesus.   

Jesus had the gift of Free Will as all humans do.   He was tempted to choose darkness and evil just as each of us have been tempted.   

Then was Jesus led up of the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Mat 4:1 The wilderness experience was preparation for the spiritual battle that Jesus fought and won against Satan.      The Holy Spirit will not lead us into something for which we are not prepared.      Had Jesus not spent this time preparing to go head-to-head with Satan, He may have stumbled in Gethsemene.

Jesus not only chose light and goodness.   He became light and goodness by totally submitting Himself to His Holy Spirit Father.   

Who, being the image of the Holy Spirit, thought it not robbery to be equal with the Holy Spirit: Phi 2:6 What is the form of our Creator?      We need only look at man who was made in His image Gen 1:26.      The Holy Spirit formed Jesus in Mary's womb for the purpose of manifesting Himself in the body of Jesus.      Since the Holy Spirit did this, Jesus did not think it presumptuous for Him to be equal with the Holy Spirit.      It is this thinking in His mind and heart that enabled Him to speak the words of the Holy Spirit and by the power of the Holy Spirit to do the works of the Holy Spirit - just as He had done in the beginning when He created all things.

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Phi 2:7 But Jesus did not lift Himself up.     He lifted the Father up and glorified Him.     Jesus humbled His soul's will to the will of His Holy Spirit.      We must humble our soul's will to the will of our New Spirit in order to manifest as a Son Of The Holy Spirit.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phi 2:8 Jesus was obedient to His Holy Spirit.      Jesus' humility brought complete and utter obedience into His heart such that even death did not deter Him.

Wherefore the Holy Spirit Father also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Phi 2:9 Jesus' perfect performance of the will of His Holy Spirit brought honour and glory to Him such that the name of Jesus is exalted above every name.         → Jesus is the name of the Son    → Jesus is the name of the Father    → Jesus is the name of the Holy Spirit.      Jesus is Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Saviour, Lord and King.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phi 2:10 One of these days every knee will bow to Jesus including all those who have received Him as well as all those who have rejected Him.         → For those In Christ it will be a joyful bowing with hearts full of praise and thanksgiving in anticipation of glory in His presence forevermore.         → For those who have rejected Christ Jesus as Mighty God and Savior it will be a terrifying experience in anticipation of judgment followed by punishment in the Lake Of Fire.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Holy Spirit Father. Phi 2:11 All humanity will speak in confession that Jesus is Lord and thus glorify the Father whose plan He fulfilled.      Who is the Father?     Holy Spirit.      It was the Holy Spirit that impregnated Mary.     It was the Holy Spirit that was in Jesus empowering Him to speak and do His will.      Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father.         → Jesus is the body of the Holy Spirit.         → The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus.

Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of being the express image of the Holy Spirit.   His willingness to fully submit to the purpose of the Holy Spirit made Him Lord and Saviour of all.   

Now, our Creator has defined the size of the aperture of The Great Sieve.   It is faith In Christ Jesus as Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Saviour, Lord and King of all.   

How does one pass through this Narrow Way?   How does one enter through this StraightGate?   

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that the Lord hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:9 This is the encapsulation of Grace, clearly pointing out our part which is faith in Jesus and confession of Him as risen Lord and Saviour.      The implication of our part being to believe on Jesus Christ and confess Him as risen Lord, is that He has done everything else!      It is why we call it amazing Grace!      It is why the gospel is nearly too good to be true!      Who raised Jesus from the dead?      He raised Himself Joh 10:17,18 by His Holy Spirit Rom 8:11.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:10 It is Heart Faith that enables the miracle of the New Birth.      It is our personal confession of Jesus as mighty Creator and loving Saviour that seals that miracle.

Again, creation exists for this one purpose - That our Creator would be able to fellowship with beings like Himself, who love light and goodness, who hate darkness and evil.   

Whether or not a person likes this reality is irrelevant!   

Our physical life on earth is essentially our being sent to The Great Sieve.   

Whether we pass through The Great Sieve into eternal, abundant life or whether we are too arrogant and self-willed to pass through it, is determined by our choice.   

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deu 30:19 This verse defines the exustential Choice for every oerson ever born.      Choose God and Live.     Reject Gid and be Destroyed.

For the Holy Spirit so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:16 The Holy Spirit is the eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator of all things by the Word.      What world is John speaking of?      The earth and all the people born into humanity.      The Holy Spirit is love and love is of the Holy Spirit.      The world was created by our Lord and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against the Holy Spirit and so humanity became evil.     But the Holy Spirit loves the people of this world and so He birthed Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.      The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.      The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life by the infilling of the Holy Spirit.      Here is understanding:    → Everlasting Life is Eternal Life    → Eternal Life is union with the Holy Spirit.

For the Holy Spirit sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Joh 3:17 Condemnation is of Satan.     He tempted Eve to cause her to fall into condemnation.     He is our accuser.     He hates humanity.      But the Lord loves us and desires for us to be saved - to experience eternal, abundant life.

We are all created by the Lord, but we are not all His children.   In order to become a Child Of The Holy Spirit we must believe the Words of the scriptures above regarding Jesus, humbling ourselves before Jesus and receiving His Holy Spirit by faith in Him.   

Only Children Of The Lord will pass through the aperture, Jesus, into Eternal Life in His presence.   
All who reject Christ Jesus as Saviour and Lord will not pass through.
