Evil mode is Vi emulation.  It brings with it Vi's modal keybindings.
So, there's a command mode and an insert mode.

God mode does the same thing but it's based on Emacs' default keybinding.
So, you press the "command" mode key (normally ESC) and every key acts like
C-key.  So ESC f f e j o is the same as C-f C-f C-e C-j C-o.

Some people believe that these modes are better than chord keys for
people with hand problem.  I don't use either of them though.

BR,
Robert Thorpe
