Live in god's hell because of a transgression (9)

I believe the answer is:

evildoing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'transgression' is the definition.
(I know that transgression can be written as evildoing)

'live in god's hell because of a' is the wordplay.
'live in god' anagrams to 'EVILDOING'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evildoing that I've seen before include "it's wrong" , "Maleficent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
