The Most High God Summons Everybody To Recognise Their Wrong

God is utterly righteous devoid of even the smallest tint of evil in His nature.
Sovereign God is the architect of purity, love, honesty, holiness, patience and infinitely more than that. And that is just how He created the world.

Do You Know The God Of Heaven?

It is not an idea that God simply decided to enact, to make things harder for humans, it really is who He is. God is not able to become something else, or act another way. All His laws are in place to safeguard His disposition and to safeguard you and I.
These principles were built 'into' the entire universe, and of course, formed into humankind.
The Holy God could not do anything that is inconsistent with His Character. One could refer to it as the 'immovable laws and regulations of the cosmos.'
And so, the Sovereign God of the Holy Bible is the Great Architect God of the whole universe, as well as the maker of the tiniest part of a proton, which is invisible to us. Scripture tells us this of God:

I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another or My praise to idols. (Isaiah 42:8) For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealousGod. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4)
Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
All the angels were standing around the throne...and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me if you have such insight... (Job 38:4)
Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!..... (Job 38:21)
"Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: ?Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.? Then Job answered Yahweh, ?Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I do not answer, born? And twice, and I do not add.?..... Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me so that thou shalt be just? And if an arm to thee as God? and with thy voice wilt thou thunder as he? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job answered and said to the Lord, I know that thou can do everything, and that thou can be hindered in no thought of thine. You asked, 'Who is he who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have spoken that which I did not understand; things too wonderful for me; yea, which I did not know. Hear, and I will speak : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. ?I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42:1-6)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. (Matthew 5:3)


Generally, humanity at present, have only heard about God, they haven't really met Him.
So why then, do we pridefully expect all the answers from Sovereign God, to the things we differ with? Obviously, the significant concerns we have of true justice and the crimes against the innocent are appropriate, nonetheless not to the point where we can command the Supreme God Most High to provide you and I an explanation of His presumed unprofessional handling of our existence.

When God Creates Something, He Owns It

Sovereign God not only is the owner of the universe, but He also is the owner of us as well, and what He would like is what is His. His requirement is to be devoted to Him in turn. It's difficult to accept, but this world is His program, and He will formulate it however He wants. If you or I built it, we can lay down the terms and conditions. However, God Most High states:

'Love LORD JEHOVAH your God from all your heart and from all your soul and from all your possessions. Memorize his laws' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

Humans Have Not Been Created As Bots Or Puppies But As Loved Ones

The Creator God may perhaps have taken every hazards out of your life, to give us a nice life, but only by building each of us as compliant robotic machines. However, that is most definitely not what the Creator God desired.
He wanted beings that possessed a choice about how they lived and are able to willingly decide to be devoted to Him.
A being somewhat like Himself.

A Particular Risk Of Granting Humans Autonomy

Yet, the risk with granting your created living being their own free will, is that they may possibly rebel against the maker, and that is exactly what we have done.
This is a problem, think about all the instances we commit and also think think and also commit that are wrong, this is often known as sinfulness in the Scriptures, they absolutely trample on God's character and righteousness, and again, you might say an offense against the Changeless Laws of the very universe - the controlled universe He built. These sins have separated us from God Most High.

'The human mind is more deceitful than anything else. It is incurably bad. Who can understand it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who understandeth his errors? Purify me from secret faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Think about it like this disgusting comparison. A fresh clean and sterile swab taken out of a fresh sealed pack to deal with your nasty bleeding wound, compare that with a previously used, unsterilized swab that has been sat and stepped upon for one week from the doctor's room seating or flooring. So how are you feeling? Argh, repulsive. Now, that is a mere hint of how God is repulsed by our actions that are wrong, even the so-called small things we did wrong as well as incorrect attitudes, that dishonor His honour, and breaks the abiding laws of the cosmos.
Even the stuff we regard as small, such as: withholding forgiveness to that person that offended us, conceit, bitterness, blaspheming God and forgetting about Almighty God our Maker, and so many more.

Every Single One Of These Bad Things Are A Obligation That Must Be Paid Out, To A Sin-Hating God

Our sins are debts to God:
'and forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)

These and other bad things assault the supreme purity, sinlessness and power of God. For any time we act in such ways, it is smacking Almighty God in the face. In the Bible, contained in the Ten Commandments, God says that it is evil to steal, have you at some time, thieved anything in your life? God says you are not to use His Sacred name in vain meaning, without reverence. Have you ever blasphemed His Holy Name? God says don't crave others belongings. Have you at any time been craving to have a person's life circumstances, house, wife or stuff? God states that we show respect to our father and mother. Did you ever show disrespect to your father or mother?

Holy God knows all things. And, each and every bad thing MUST be put right. The point in time is soon coming when every bad thing MUST be judged, or you could say, clear the account to syncretize with the unchanging laws of the very universe. Or alternatively, the Scriptures calls it; to allay the wrath of God. This will shock most, given that they are told that God Most High treasures every person so much, that they believe that God Most High can hardly be outraged with somebody over any bad things they do.

Over and over I find people, oblivious to these fundamentals, asking ?That's not the kind of god I know? What is this additional rule on holiness??

And I say, "Without a doubt, He actually does love the world, except humans are not able to get the love side of God and ignore the righteousness side. It definitely is out of the question. It is plainly declared in the Bible, and you are not often told about this. Sadly, in this era people just talk about the pleasant teachings, rather than the entire unlikable truth.
We will not know the Heavenly God by means of our earthly values, requirements and behaviour. Sovereign God absolutely is ?from a different time and place? and He shows us who He really is and how He rules in his book. Wanting Him to follow our rules, just gives us a useless optimism in an idea that is not factual and will crash and burn eventually.
Humans mistakenly blame God Most High for the calamities in life, but it is definitely not God?s inadequacy. He produced all things superbly, The first humans messed up and we continue to screw up. They trample on God's character and righteousness; the 'immovable laws and regulations of the cosmos.' Almighty God cannot simply come along and make life good for humans. The sequence or progression of things that He started, must come to it's normal end.
Our sin debts must be paid.

Having said that, God provided a way for our bad stuff to be convicted and judged, to pay the spiritually legal requirements of God's intractable Law, the established law of the cosmos. And that remarkable way, was the ultimate sacrifice, dying, burial and being raised back to life of His Son, Jesus. And, this remarkable objective was carried out for all to see in front of the audience of all creation in the universe ? mankind, angelic beings and the Devil.
Jesus Christ was the flawless sacrificial Lamb that can pay the price our wrong; thinking, behavior and attitudes. No other method is able to pay for one's wickedness.
The Bible says:

'For all have sinned (done wrongs stuff) and fall short of the glory of God;' (Romans 3:23)
So, being a 'good person? and doing many 'good' things is unable to spare anyone from the grim punishment of the sinnful thinking, behavior and attitudes, just the Lord Jesus can. If all we do in this world is to be the perfect woman or man and that includes going to church, that won't spare any person and do not permit any person to enter heaven. Which means, going to the Lake of Fire, specifically hell:

'But the product of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life in our Lord Yeshua The Messiah.' (Romans 6:23)

No, it is not being good that saves you and I, we need to repent of all of the sinnful stuff we have done, and give our lives for God Most High. I will describe this with more detail in a minute.

For this reason I find that going to funerals of one that is not a follower of Jesus Christ troubles me greatly. This is also why my main ambition in my life is informing others about what God is really like. To enlighten those who never attend church, and, to individuals that also do attend church but are yet to effectively fully understood the whole truth. The misunderstanding of the Creator God is common, and is due to the fact that the message they listened to was unclear or it was jeopardised by the faulty traditions of modern man, from pastors repeatedly attempting to make the Unceasing, Unchangeable Great God to look as if He is simply a kind, cute grandfather form of god, devoid of His extreme holiness and the punishments of evil sins. That is undoubtedly a pretend god of their imagination.
Repeatedly I observe atheists asking ?How can God act like that, I thought He was a God of love?? Yes, but you are unable to disregard God's punishments of evil sins, because His Holy Bible states far, far more on the subject of His purity and punishments of evil sins, than His love.
It is not possible to perceive the realities of the Creator God through the use of our standards of expectation and our existence. Sovereign God is absolutely is ?out of this world? and He teaches the human race who He really is and about how He rules in the Holy book. Expecting Him to conform to your own standards, simply provides us with a hazardously bad belief of God Most High.
And remember, there's no way to fake it when you do not truly mean it. Almighty God is aware of all our thoughts.

God Most High Provided The Payment For Our Wrong Stuff, As Long As...

There is only one way to have your sins acquitted and get a passport to heaven, is to realize how vile we are in front of a Sinless God, and to say that we are so sorry for everything evil. And the next step is to totally hand over one's life to Him, and be subject to God as boss for the rest of our existence. Which, is the true pattern of our existence on the planet He fashioned for Himself:

'And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus Christ hasn't declare ?Now be a good or kindly person, do some good deeds for other individuals, and then you will never be sent to hellish torment .?
It's a fact, this is what the Most High God stated concerning being forgiven of your sin:

'And He spoke this parable to certain ones having confidence in themselves that they are righteous, and despising the rest.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-collector. The Pharisee stood over by himself and prayed, "God, I thank you that I am not greedy, dishonest, and unfaithful in marriage like other people. And I am really glad that I am not like that tax collector over there. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
I tell you," said Jesus, "the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great."' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Pharisee in this parable does not commit the supposedly ?bad' evil like grand theft, as we say, nevertheless he did not receive a pardon by Almighty God.
While the taxman actually did do ?bad' wrong things yet was forgiven by Sovereign God, given that he rightly apologised.
It is a humiliating undertaking to say that we have been and are, evil and to submit our life absolutely to the Creator God. But devoid of it we will not be redeemed from our sins, we have got to come to God submissive and reliant on Him. Jesus Christ said :

'So Jesus called a little boy, and made him to stand up in the midst of them. and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Merely Doing Remarkable Stuff For Sovereign God Won't Spare Humans

'For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God?s gift.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Do You Opt For Anguish Or Give Up Your Lifetime To God Most High?

'And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

This, ?Take up our cross on a daily basis? indicates, we have to obey in a self-sacrificing mode each day for His Purpose.
The Bible also says:

'I Beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that yee giue vp your bodies a liuing sacrifice, holy, acceptable vnto God, which is your reasonable seruing of God. (Romans 12:1)

'But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear.' (1Peter 3:15)

Put in a nutshell: God gets to be your owner. Permanently. And as His Book instructs, we live for Jesus Christ, learning the Bible, in? prayer each day, telling other people about the Creator God, and serving anyone when lead to. Sovereign God, becomes our reason and assignment for the rest of our lifetime.
