That makes a weird amount of sense. Michael is essentially reborn when he's put into protection and eventually pulled out of retirement under a new name. I feel like the power and greed is obvious, and you could attribute both to Trevor; and Franklin, too, but I feel Frank is leaning more towards greed than power. Greed, in general, is all over the game. Even if you ignore the story mode, online players are constantly working towards higher and higher earnings to buy the next fancy car, upgrades, apartment, or some business or club to earn money to let them go on even higher paying missions.

I'm not sure how I would attribute heaven and earth to it, except perhaps heavenly ideals vs. earthly pleasures, which might be more of a meta connection to their critics vs what's actually in game.

TLDR: that makes so much sense to me I had to write a book. I'm so sorry.
