Satan and Fallen Angels – Hope for them or Heresy?
“Our Lord is the One who delivers man [all men], and who heals the inventor of evil himself” — Gregory of Nyssa (332-398 A.D.), leading theologian of the Eastern Church
Lord Jesus Christ took both the form of humans (as “Son of Man”) and the form of fallen angels (as “Son of God”) —-> and thus He Died for the “sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2) and is a “Ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:6).
The common verse quoted against this Biblical Fact is the verse below:
“For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.” (Hebrews 2:16, NASB)
The “aid” or “help” here refers to “aid as a High Priest” (Hebrews 2:17) for “His People” (“His Brethren” mentioned In Hebrews 2:17 itself) even with regards to overcoming “temptation” too (Hebrews 2:18) —-> where this refers to the explicit case of those “He aided (or Helped)” as a “High Priest” to this “age” (Hebrews 7:17) —-> and such “aided or helped ones” (“His Brethren” ONLY, context Hebrews 2:17) —–> are “Saved” with “no (afterlife) Judgment” (John 5:24) —-> The rest of “all men” and “all creation” will be “saved” (1 Timothy 2:4) and “Reconciled” (Colossians 1:20) accordingly in its “own times” (1 Timothy 2:6, 1 John 2:2) even so “through Fire (by afterlife Judgment Fire, 1 Corinthians 3:15)”.
“Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.” (Hebrews 2:17 – 18, NASB)
“for He doth testify — Thou art a Priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;” (Hebrews 7:17, YLT)
“Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing My Word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.” – Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:24, YLT)
“if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:15, YLT)
“Who [God our Savior] will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4, KJV)
“because in Him were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and unto Him.
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of His cross through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.” (Colossians 1:16, 20, BLB)
“Who [God] did give Himself a Ransom for all — the testimony in its own times –” (1 Timothy 2:6, YLT)
Conclusion
“and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2, NASB)
“We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.” (1 John 4:14, NASB)
“namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses [any in the world’s sin] against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:19, NASB)
Yes, this is the “Mercy” which He has Promised to “All” who sinned (Romans 3:23) in the “World” (Romans 3:19) as the Final Word of “afterlife Judgment” (Romans 11:32) which ‘triumphs or ends any afterlife Judgment too’ (James 2:13) and “all are saved Freely by His Grace or Mercy” (Romans 3:24) through the “Righteousness of God” through the “Faith of Jesus Christ” imputed upon that same “all who sinned in the world” (Romans 3:22, in definition of Romans 3:19 & the explanation in Romans 3:23 – 24 as well), which is only seen when ‘accurately translated’.
Verses quoted:
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being Justified freely by His Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” (Romans 3:19, 22 – 24, KJV)
“For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.” (Romans 11:32, NASB)
“For [afterlife] judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; Mercy triumphs over [afterlife] judgment.” (James 2:13, NASB)
[Emphasis Mine] for clearer understanding.
“Blessed Savior of the World”

Doubts?
It is Written that 'God is Love [Agape], 1 John 4:8' and '[His Agape], Love never Fails' (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Love has 'no' context and always Remains True:
"The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:8, NASB)
"Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away." (1 Corinthians 13:8, NASB)
P/S:
'Once God Loves, He Always Loves and Never Fails in His Love for All. Only when His Love ends or Hell becomes eternal we may say that He has changed which is impossible since He Loved First & thus cannot change to stop Loving All. Can you see it? ' - Anonymous
Yes, the 'rest of creation' will eventually become 'children of God again too' by "Him" (Lord Jesus Christ) as 'it is Written' in verses below too:
"For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God." (Romans 8:20 - 21, NASB)
“I know that most persons understand by the story of Nineveh and its king, the ultimate forgiveness of the devil and all rational creatures.” - Jerome of the Vulgate, Commentary on Jonah
Clement of Alexandria’s (150 - 215) Superb Quotes below testify to this too:
“So He saves all; but some He converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will, and in accordance with the worthiness of His honor, that every knee may be bent to Him of celestial, terrestrial and infernal things (Phil. 2:10), that is angels, men, and souls who before His advent migrated from this mortal life.”
“For there are partial corrections (padeiai) which are called chastisements (kolasis), which many of us who have been in transgression incur by falling away from the Lord’s people. But as children are chastised by their teacher, or their father, so are we by Providence. But God does not punish (timoria) for punishment (timoria) is retaliation for evil. He chastises, however, for good to those who are chastised collectively and individually.” (Strom, VII, ii; Pedag. I, 8; on I John ii, 2)
There is no Law against Love (implied in Galatians 5:22 - 23)
Judgment first, next:
Olam - Age-during Reward vs Punishment
"And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches -- to abhorrence age-during." (Daniel 12:2, YLT)
The word translated accurately as "age-during" in verse above is the Hebrew word "Olam" (or "Owlam").
No Worries
In verse in Image, Lord Jesus Christ is implying beautifully, "No Worries" because He is the Champion of champions Who Will never Fail to Save the World.
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." - Lord Jesus Christ (John 16:33, NASB)
