The Most High God Calls Every Person To Say They Are Sorry

God is absolutely holy without even the slightest tint of wrong in His thoughts or actions.
Holy God is the creator of honesty, holiness, patience, love, purity and infinitely more. And that is just how He created our planet.

The Whole Truth About The Most High God

It's not a plan that God just chose to do, to make things hard for humans, it really is just who He is. God cannot become anything else, or do anything else. Each and every one of His governing laws are in place to preserve His character and to safeguard people.
These principles were designed INTO the entire universe, and more than that, built into human beings.
Sovereign God cannot do anything that contradicts His Nature. One could label it the 'unchanging governing laws of the whole cosmos.'
And so, the Sovereign God of the Bible is the Grand Creator God of the entire universe, as well as the architect of the minutest piece of an atom, which is invisible to us. The Word of God says this of Holy God:

I am the LORD! That is my name! I will not share my glory with anyone else, or the praise due me with idols. (Isaiah 42:8) Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
LORD JEHOVAH is high over all the nations and his honor is above Heaven. (Psalm 113:4)
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne...and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God. (Revelation 7:11)
Where were you when I was laying the foundations of the Earth? Show me, if you know understanding..... (Job 38:4)
Don?t you know? You were already born; you have lived so long!..... (Job 38:21)
Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
Moreover the LORD answered Job, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. Then Job replied to the LORD and said, ?Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth. One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more... "Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself? And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job answered the LORD, and said: I know, LORD, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want. You asked, ?Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?? It is I?and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. ?Please listen, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.? I had heard about you with my own ears, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." (Job 42:1-6)
"How blessed are those who are destitute in spirit, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to them! (Matthew 5:3)


The majority of people today, have only heard about God, they have not genuinely found Him.
Then for what reason, do humans self-importantly require answers from God, to anything and everything we take issue with? Needless to say, the significant concerns we have of universal justice and the children who suffer are correct, but not to the point where we can command the All-powerful Holy God to provide us an explanation of His seemingly deficient handling of life.

The Handmade Creature Is Legitimately Owned By The Builder

Sovereign God not only is the owner of the whole cosmos, but He also is the owner of us also, and all He would like is what belongs to Him. His command is to be devoted to Him in return. It's hard to swallow, but this planet is His enterprise, and He can construct it however He likes. If you or I made it, we can set the terms and conditions. However, God tells us:

'You are to love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thine heart:' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

If Sovereign God Wished For Robotic Machines He May Have Made The Human Race As Bots

The Creator God could have taken all hazards out of this life, to give us a less troublesome life, but only by creating everybody as obedient robotic machines. However, that is most assuredly not what He wanted.
He wished for an individual that had a choice about how they lived and are able to willingly decide to be devoted to Him.
A being something like His being.

Independent Choice Is A Precarious Dimension

But, the problem with giving your created creature their own capacity to decide how they lived, is that they might rebel against the maker, and that is exactly what we did.
This is a critical issue, think about all of the instances we commit and also think think and also commit which are bad, this is often also known as iniquity in the Holy Bible, they completely attack God's nature and holiness, and once again, you could say an offense against the Abiding Laws of the universe - the structured universe He created. These trespasses have divorced us from Sovereign God.

'"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Visualize it like this horrifying contrast. A fresh clean and sterile swab taken out of a new unopened packet to deal with your badly bleeding wound, compared with a second-hand, unsterilized swab that has been sat and stepped upon for a week from the waiting room floor or seating. Ask yourself how would you feel? Eww, gross!. Now, that is merely a glimmer of how God is repulsed by our conduct that is bad, and that includes the so-called small stuff we do bad as well as think about, that trample on God's righteousness, and violates the unchangeable governing laws of the whole cosmos.
And that includes the stuff we regard as small, such as: showing no gratitude to The Creator God, not serving God Most High, loathing somebody, deceitfulness and swearing, and so many more.

Everyone Of These Wrong Things Are A Deficit That Have To Be Paid For, 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 wrong things are a violation of the unblemished purity, righteousness and authority of God. Each time we act them, it is striking God in the face. In the Scriptures, contained in His Law, The Lord pronounces not to crave others belongings. Have you on any occasion been craving to have a friend's lifestyle, home, husband or belongings? The Lord pronounces not to speak God's Holy name in vain or dismissively. At any time, have you ever blasphemed His Name? The Lord states that we respect our parents. Have you ever disrespected your father or mother? The Lord pronounces that it is wrong to thieve, have you at any time thieved anything ever?

Sovereign God from whom nothing is unknown. And, each and every bad thing has to be put right. A point in time is coming when every single bad thing MUST be convicted and judged, or it could be said, reconciled to be compatible with the unchanging governing laws of the universe. Or alternatively, the Scriptures calls it; to assuage the wrath of the Most High God. This will shock nearly everybody, due to the fact they are generally told that the Sovereign God really loves every person so much, that they think that God Most High can hardly be angry with anybody due to some bad things they do.

Frequently I hear people, ignorant of these principles, debating ?But, Your God is meant to love us so much? What's this extra command on purity??

And I enlighten them, "Agreed, He does love the world, but humans can't take the love part of Holy God and snub the purity part. It really is unachievable. It is plainly expressed in Scripture, and you are seldom told about such things. Regretfully, in this generation pastors mostly just tell the pleasant things, not the entire disagreeable teaching.
Humans will not know the Everlasting God by with our human perspectives, feelings and practices. Sovereign God truly is ?from a different dimension? and He teaches humans just who, He really is and about how He rules in the Word of God. Insisting that He follow our system, just gives us a futile hope in an idea that is not factual and is going to collapse in a little while.
Human beings wrongly fault The Creator God for the calamities in the world, however, it is not God?s failing. He produced it all exquisitely, Adam messed up and we continue to screw up. They attack God's nature and holiness; the 'unchanging governing laws of the whole cosmos.' God cannot just come along and make life good for humans. The pattern or process of things that He started, has to be completed.
Our sin debts must be paid.

But, God presented a way for our evil to be paid for, to meet the legal specifications of God's unchangable Law, the permanent law of the whole cosmos. And that wondrous way, was the punishing, death, burial and the raising back to life of His Son, The Lord Jesus. And, this wondrous masterstroke was achieved openly before all creation ? mankind, angelic beings and the fallen angels.
Jesus Christ was the sinless sacrificial payment that can pay for our evil; attitudes, thinking and conduct. No other method is able to pay for our wrong.
The Bible says:

'for all have sinned (done bad stuff), and fall short of the glory of God;' (Romans 3:23)
So, merely being a 'good boy or girl? and doing many 'good' things can't rescue us from the grim consequence of the wrong attitudes, thinking and conduct, just the Lord Jesus can. If the only thing one does in their life is to be the perfect woman or man and maybe even going to church, that doesn't rescue anyone and will not enable anyone to enter heaven. Meaning, going to hell, often known as the Lake of Fire:

'For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)

No, it is not being good that will save people, we need to apologise for all the wrong things we did, and give our lives for God Most High. I shall clarify this more later.

This is the reason I find that going to a funeral of friend who is not a Christian pains me deeply. Which is also why my major concern in this life is revealing to people about who God actually is. To enlighten people who never go to church, and more than that, to individuals who usually do go to church but still are yet to correctly realized what it was really about. The false impression of God is widespread, and is mainly because the preaching they listened to was vague or it was compromised by the erroneous beliefs of present-day man, from pastors constantly endeavoring to cause the Timeless, Unchangeable God Most High to appear as though He is simply a pleasant, cute great grandfather type god, without His intense righteousness and the punishments of wicked stuff. That is actually a phony god of their own imagination.
Repeatedly I listen to a person assert ?Tell me how can God act like that, I thought He was the God of great love?? That is true, but you are unable to avoid God's punishments of wicked stuff, because His Holy Book declares far, far more on the subject of His righteousness and punishments of wicked stuff, than His great love.
You cannot appreciate the Immortal God using our thinking and our existence. Sovereign God truly is ?out of this world? and He declares to humankind who He really is and how He rules in the Scriptures. Wanting Him to adhere to human principles, merely provides us with a perilously bad understanding of Holy God.
And consider, you will find no possible way to hide it from God if you don't actually mean it. God is aware of our every single thought you think.

Sovereign God Provided The Compensation For Every Single Wrongdoing, When...

The only way to have all your bad things discharged and get a passport to our heavenly home, is to realize how wrong we really are before a Righteous God, and to tell God that we are grieved by our wrongdoing. And the next step is to utterly surrender your own life to Him, and conform to God as boss for the rest of our lifetime. This, is the correct format of our existence on the earth He made for Himself:

'Then He said to them all, ?If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus has not declare ?Now be a good or kind person, carry out many good works for other individuals, and you will not ever be sent to hellish torment .?
No, this is what Jesus Christ pronounced concerning when you're forgiven of your wickedness:

'And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer. "The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess. And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Religious man in this parable is not involved in the so-called ?really bad' sins like arson, as we say, nevertheless he was not forgiven by God.
While the collector of taxes does do ?really bad' wrong things but was forgiven by Holy God, for the reason that he genuinely apologised.
It is a humiliating undertaking to confess we have been and are, sinful and to give up our life absolutely to God. However, without it we can't be saved from our evil, we must come to Almighty God humble and powerless. Jesus Christ said :

'And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them. And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Merely Doing Wonderful Things For Sovereign God Doesn't Save You And I

'For it is by grace that you are saved through faith; not of your doing: it is the gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Shall You Choose Anguish Or Give Up Always To The Creator God?

'Then He said to them all, ?If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

And ?Carry one's cross day by day? meant, we must be living in a self-giving way every day for God.
The Bible also says:

'Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. (Romans 12:1)

'but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear.' (1Peter 3:15)

To paraphrase: Almighty God will become your managing director. Your entire life. And as Scripture teaches, we live for God, learning the Scriptures, talking with God each day, telling others about God, and helping people as we are lead to. Sovereign God, is our campaign and mission for the whole of our lives.
