God, reveals that he is disappointed in man. He indicates Everyman's unrighteous sin and ignorance of Christ's oblation for mankind. Because of this, he orders Death to go to Everyman so that He can judge those who sinned and overlooked God's mercy and love. God says that people live without fear of Him; that they have forgotten his word. Therefore, one day everyman will account for his sins. God believes in man, yet humanity appears to love more the worldly riches and pleasures. Death now will send for every man in order to be reckoned by God. Death will take with him(to hell), the men who lived outside God's laws, those who loved money more than Christ. God's frustration with humanity's wrongdoing and ingratitude integrates the idea that humans have free will.
