God Requires Every Person To Repent

God is completely holy without even the slightest tint of evil in Himself. Sovereign God is the creator of love, patience, holiness, purity, honesty and infinitely more than that. And that is just how He made humanity.

Evaluating Your Knowledge Of God?

God has specific ways He wants us to live our lives, not just to make things hard for us, but because that's who He is. He is forever trapped in his current situation. He cannot do anything that contradicts His Nature. These are the unbreakable and immutable laws that everything must abide by. The God of the Bible created everything, including things too small to be seen by any means. See what the Bible teaches in this part: I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols. (Isaiah 42:8) The LORD your God is a raging fire, a God who does not tolerate rivals. (Deuteronomy 4:24) The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4) Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11) Then all the angels stood around the throne...and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11) Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast the understanding... (Job 38:4) You must know because you were born then and have lived such a long time!..... (Job 38:21) Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or can thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?..... (Job 38:31) Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said, "Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it." Then Job answered the Lord, and said : "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more."..... Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified? Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9) Then Job answered the LORD, and said: I know that you can do anything and no plan of yours can be thwarted. 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me. By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee. That is why I take back what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry." (Job 42:1-6) "Happy are the poor in spirit; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:3) Many people these days have only heard of God, but haven't actually met Him. Why do we expect God to explain Himself whenever we don't approve of something? Of course, the big questions we have of universal justice and those that suffer hideous crimes are valid. But, don't be presumptuous and demand that God justify His management of the world without understanding.

If You Create Or Invent Something, It Belongs To You - It's The Rule.

God owns everything in the universe, including us, and He wants only what's His. We should love and serve Him in return for all He's given us. It's challenging to accept, but God has complete authority over the world like it's His own personal toy. We would be in charge of setting the rules if we made it. But, as God says: 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

 

Personal Beings Are God's Intended Children, Not Robots

God could've made life easier by removing danger, but it would mean we'd have to be obedient robots without free will. But that's not what God wanted at all. He wanted creatures with the freedom to choose to love Him. Someone who resembled Him in some ways.

Letting people make choices means they could decide not to be with you, which is a danger.

When you create something that can make its own choices, it might turn against you, and that's what we did. There's a concern because we all make mistakes or have bad thoughts, which the Bible calls sin. These things are a total violation of God's nature and holiness, and it's like breaking the unchangeable laws of the universe that He established. Our mistakes have caused a rift between us and God. 'The heart is deceitful above all things, And it is exceeding weak--who can know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9) 'Who will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins.' (Psalm 19:12) This analogy might be unsettling, but it makes sense. Imagine the dangers of using a dirty and unsterilized swab to clean a deep cut. How would you feel? Ooh yuck, so gross. Doing things that are wrong, even if they seem small, are offensive God and go against the laws of the universe that he created. It's important to remember that even the little things we do wrong, like having mean thoughts about others, using inappropriate language, not following God, telling small lies, and not being grateful to God, can violate God's nature. It's important to remember that things like holding grudges, being too proud, using God's name as a swear word, not forgiving those who hurt us, not being interested in our Creator, and many more things go against God's nature.

Every immoral action you take creates an obligation towards God that must be fulfilled

What we owe to God: 'And forgive us our debts, just as we also forgive our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12) God's perfect purity is being violated by all of these things. Do you see it? These things against God's character is like giving Him a hard kick in the teeth. In the Bible, God says that it is wrong to steal, have you at any time stolen anything in your life? God doesn't want us to be jealous of what other people have, according to the Bible. Have you ever felt that way about your friend's wife, stuff, life or house? We're supposed to show honor to our parents as God commands. Have you ever been disrespectful to your parents by talking back? God forbids using His Name in a disrespectful or irreverent way. Have you ever used God's Name as a throwaway phrase or without respect? God knows everything, nothing is hidden from Him. Remember, we saw that ALL the bad things require payment. There will be a time when we must answer for every bad thing. Or, you could say, being at peace with the unchangeable laws of the universe. Or as the Bible calls it, to lessen God's fury. This will come as a shock to most people, because they have been told that God loves everyone so much, It's a widespread belief that God could never be angry with anyone, no matter how much they sin. People who are ignorant of the basics often argue that God is supposed to love us without any conditions. We can't just talk about God's love for the world, we also need to understand His holiness. There's no way that can be done. The Bible says it plainly, but it's not often shared. Nowadays, preachers only talk about the enjoyable parts and not the uncomfortable truth. It's impossible to grasp the nature of God, who is eternal, by applying our behaviour, expectations and earthly standards. He's beyond our wildest imaginations, but the Bible tells us about Him. We can't make God follow our rules because He is beyond our control and understanding. God is not to blame for the bad things that happen in the world, even though some people accuse Him of it. The world was created perfectly without any flaws. Adam made a mistake and now we have to learn from it. God cannot simply ignore the laws of the universe to make things right, as these laws are unbreakable. The process God initiated has to play out until the end. As written in the Scriptures... 'for all have sinned (done bad things), and fall short of the glory of God;' (Romans 3:23) Being good and doing good things won't evade the consequences of bad thoughts and actions. Only Jesus Christ can provide the solution. Being a good person and going to church won't exempt you from hell. It's vital to acknowledge our wrongs and ask God for forgiveness with a genuine desire to change. We need to give our lives completely to God after asking for forgiveness. Again, the Bible warns us that the result of our wrongdoing is an eternity in hell: 'For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23) Absolutely not, being a good person is important, but it's not enough to save you; you need to ask for forgiveness for your mistakes and live your life for God. Later on, I'll elaborate more on this.

Discovering Forgiveness Through God

No worries, God has an answer for all the bad stuff we do that makes it right with His unchanging laws of the universe. That glorious plan of action, was the crucifying, death, burial and the resurrection of His Only Son, Jesus Christ The amazing plan was carried out in public, before all creation: people, angels, and even Satan saw it. Jesus is the only one who could take the blame for all our wrongdoing and bad thoughts. Only one means can make things right for our wrongs. People argue that God can't be a loving God if He is so strict all the time. God's nature is infused with love., but, God's love and justice are both very real, as the Bible clearly explains. You cannot have one without the other. It is impossible to understand the Eternal God by using our standards of thinking and expectations. We shouldn't expect God to follow our rules because it gives us the wrong idea about Him. God knows all your thoughts, so you can't make Him forget anything.

Surrendering to God is the Next Step After Saying Sorry

When you've genuinely expressed your apologies, it's common to feel called to live a life for God. This is what God decrees for us to do. It's like making God the top dog in our lives for good. We strive to obey everything the Bible teaches us. According to the Bible, that's the right sequence of events: 'He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23) At no time did God speak these words; 'Be kind and do good for others, and you'll be saved and come to heaven with me.' Let me tell you what God said about being forgiven of your sins: 'He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. "Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain. And the tax collector standing afar off was not willing even to lift up his eyes unto heaven, but was striking his breast, saying, God, extend propitiation to me, the sinner! I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.' (Luke 18:9-14) The religious man in the story didn't do "bad" sins like child abuse, but that didn't make God forgive him. God forgave the tax collector because he sincerely repented for his actions. Giving our lives to God and admitting our faults is a tough pill to swallow. However, giving up control to God and admitting our mistakes is the only way to be saved. Jesus Christ shared: 'Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them. "I assure you," He said, "unless you are converted and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Do You Choose To Seek Forgiveness And Let Jesus Cover Your Errors, Or Not?

'He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23) Every day, we need to live in a way that puts God first. This is what 'Taking up your cross' means. God’s Word reminds us that: 'I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service: (Romans 12:1) 'But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.' (1Peter 3:15) In other words: You understand the extent of your sins before God. You sincerely ask for pardon for your transgression. Jesus Christ becomes your guide. This is a lifelong partnership with Jesus. We are committed to living our lives for God, as the Bible commands. Ensure you read the Bible every day to deepen your understanding. Making it a practice to pray to God every day. Proclaiming God's truth to others. Being directed by God to serve others. Your life's purpose is to please God Most High. God our Father will then lead us to the glorious heaven.
