The Most High God Summons Everybody To Apologise
God is totally righteous without having even the tiniest hint of wrong in His nature.
God is the author of patience, holiness, love, honesty, purity and infinitely more. And that is exactly how He built this world.
The Truth About Sovereign God
It isn't a plan that God just chose to do, to make life harder for humans, it really is who He is. He cannot ever become anything else, or act another way. Each and every one of His commands are there to guard His character and to safeguard people.
These governing laws were designed INTO the whole universe, and moulded into humans.
God Most High will not do something that opposes His Nature. You can describe it as the 'unchanging governing laws of the whole cosmos.'
So, the Sovereign God of the Holy Bible is the Great Maker God of the entire universe, as well as the builder of the tiniest component of an atom, which is unseen by us. This is what the Bible claims of Almighty God:
?I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. (Isaiah 42:8) Because LORD JEHOVAH your God is a consuming fire and God is jealous. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The LORD is high above all the nations. His glory is above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4)
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
And all the angels stood around the throne...and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding... (Job 38:4)
But of course you know all this! For you were born before it was all created, and you are so very experienced!..... (Job 38:21)
"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion's belt?..... (Job 38:31)
The LORD continued his response to Job by saying: "Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it." Then Job answered the LORD, and said, "Look, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further... Will you disannul my judgment? Will you even condemn me, that you may be justified? ?Have you an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job, responding to the Lord, said: ?I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge. Listen now, and I will speak for myself; I'll interrogate you and then inform me. It is by the hearing of the ear I have heard you, and now, behold, my eye has seen you! Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes. (Job 42:1-6)
?Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
Most humanity at present, have only been told about God, they have not truly connected with Him.
Why then, do people haughtily insist on all the answers from God, to all the things we disagree with? Certainly, the big questions we have of the crimes against the innocent and of universal justice are appropriate, nonetheless not to the level where we can demand that the Supremely powerful God Most High to provide humans an explanation of His so-called poor handling of life.
Any Crafted Man Is Officially Owned By Its Builder
God not only owns the universe, but He also owns us also, and all He wants is what belongs to Him. His demand is to love and serve Him back. It can be difficult for you to accept, but this world is His program, and He will formulate it how He chooses. If we made it, we would lay down the rules. But, God proclaims:
'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)
If God Most High Desired Robots He Would Have Created Human Beings As Bots
The Creator God may perhaps have taken every risk out of your world, to make life nicer, but only by making everyone as submissive robots. But that is absolutely not what He sought.
He desired beings endowed with free choice and would voluntarily choose to love Him.
A living being something resembling His being.
If You Make Them With Free Choice You Could Lose Them
But, the possibility with assigning your produced living being their own free choice, is that they may well forsake the maker, and that is precisely what we have done.
This is a problem, consider all of the things we do and think about think about and do that are wrong, often referred to as sinfulness in the Bible, they wholly offend God's character and holiness, and again, you might say an offense against the Fixed Laws of the entire universe - the controlled universe He produced. These wrong things have divorced us from God Most High.
'The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)
'Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.' (Psalm 19:12)
Think about it like this ghastly contrast. A new sterile wipe removed from a new unopened packet to treat your bad bleeding cut, now, when compared with a used, unsterilized wipe which has been walked and sat upon for one week off the patients room seats or floor. Tell me how would you feel? Eww, gross!. Now, that is merely a touch of how the Creator God is revolted by the things we do wrong, even the so-called unimportant things we do wrong as well as sinnful thinking, that trample on His holiness, and breaks the permanent laws of the whole cosmos.
Even the stuff we consider unimportant, for example: foul language, being ungrateful to the Creator God, not serving Almighty God, deceitfulness and detesting somebody, etc....
Everyone Of These Wrong Things Are A Debt That Must Be Paid For, To A Sin-Abhorring God
Our sins are debts to God:
'Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)
These and other instances violate the sublime pureness, holiness and leadership of God. For any instance we act in such ways, it is slamming God in the face. In the Bible, contained in the Ten Commandments, God pronounces that we honor our mother and father. Have you ever disrespected your mother? God proclaims that it is wrong to steal, have you on any occasion stolen something in your life? God proclaims you are not to use His Name in vain or frivolously. At any time, have you ever desecrated His Holy Name? God proclaims not to crave stuff that belong to others. Have you ever coveted to possess a person's life, home, wife or belongings?
Holy God has all knowledge. And, every wrong MUST be paid for. A point in time is coming when every single wrong WILL be convicted and judged, or you could say, finalise accounts to heal and be one with the unalterable laws of the entire universe. Or alternatively, the Scriptures calls it; to pacify the anger of the Most High God. This will astonish almost everyone, since they are generally told that God Most High really loves every person boundlessly, that they believe that The Sovereign God would not be enraged with somebody because of some bad things they have done.
Regularly I see people, oblivious to these fundamentals, debating ?Hey, I was told that Your God really loves each individual? What's this additional obligation on righteousness??
And I inform them, "Of course, Sovereign God does love people, but humans are unable to hold the love part of Almighty God and take no notice of the holiness part. It really is not possible. It is unmistakably explained in the Bible, but you are seldom told of this. Sad to say, in this time in history teachers mostly only talk about the pleasant things, rather than the whole disagreeable truth.
People will never comprehend the Eternal God by means of our worldly standards, expectations and behaviour. Sovereign God genuinely is ?from a different time and place? and He shows us exactly who, He is and the ways He operates in his book. Wanting Him to follow our system, only gives us a pointless hope in an idea that is not true and is going to collapse sometime.
Some people wrongly find fault with Sovereign God for the suffering in the world, but it is hardly God?s fault. He made everything immaculately, Adam wrecked it and we continue to screw up. They offend God's character and holiness; the 'unchanging governing laws of the whole cosmos.' God could not just come along and make it all good for the human race. The directives or course of this life that Sovereign God set in motion, must be completed.
Every single debt of transgression has to be paid for.
However, God presented a means for all our sin to be punished, to meet the legal conditions of God's uncompromising Law, the changeless law of the whole cosmos. That amazing means, was the crucifying, death, burial and being brought back to life of His Son, The Lord Jesus. And, this amazing fulfillment was carried out openly before all creation ? mankind, angelic beings and the fallen angels.
Jesus Christ was the unblemished sacrifice that can pay for your evil; thinking, conduct and attitudes. No other way could pay for one's wrong.
The Bible says:
'For all have sinned (done wrongs stuff) and fall short of the glory of God?' (Romans 3:23)
So, living 'an unbelievably good' life and doing much good cannot protect humans from the grim consequence of the wrong thinking, conduct and attitudes, only the Lord Jesus can. If all we do each day is to be the perfect person and even go to church, that will not protect any person and will never enable a person to experience heaven. Meaning, going away to the Lake of Fire, specifically 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)
Truly, it is not being good that saves people, we need to apologise for all the wrong stuff we do, and serve God. I shall explain this further later.
Because of this I find that attending funeral services of a non-Christian truly stresses me. Which is also the reason my chief aim in this life is telling others about who God really is. To inform people who do not go to church, as well as, to folks who do go to church but still haven't yet correctly fully understood the truth. The false impression of God is prevalent, and is due to the fact that the message they listened to was not clear or it was jeopardised by the misleading ideas of modern man, from teachers relentlessly attempting to cause the Unceasing, Changeless Almighty God to look as though He is only a tender, cuddlesome great grandfather kind of god, lacking His awesome holiness and the judgment of sinnful things. That is certainly a bogus god of their make-believe.
Repeatedly I observe atheists assert ?Tell me how could God act like that, Christians say He loves us?? Yes, but we could not dispense with God's terrifying justice, when His Bible says a whole lot more regarding His righteousness and terrifying justice, than His great love.
It is impossible to understand the Timeless God by using our thinking and our existence. Sovereign God truly is ?not of this world? and He shows humans who He is and about how He operates in the Holy Bible. Expecting Him to conform to your own principles, only offers us a hazardously misleading perspective of God.
And don't forget, you have no way to hide it from God when you do not really mean it. Almighty God is aware of all our thoughts.
Sovereign God Made Available The Repayment For All Wrongdoing, Yet...
In order to have your own personal wrong things forgiven and get a pass to our heavenly home, is to realise how offensive we truly are before a Sinless God, and to say that we are grieved by our wrongdoing. And then to totally surrender one's being to God, and be subject to Him as our boss for the rest of our lifetime. That, is the right configuration of things in the world He fashioned for His delight:
'And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)
Jesus has not declare ?Simply be a good or kindly person, produce many good works for others, and then you will be with me in the next life .?
Indeed, this is what the Creator God claimed about when you're forgiven of your iniquity:
'He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:
"Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ?I thank you, God, that I am not like other people?cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I?m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.' The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!'
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.' (Luke 18:9-14)
The Religious man in this lesson does not do the presumed ?really bad' evil like rape, as we say, however he did not receive forgiveness by God.
The taxman commits ?really bad' evils yet was forgiven by God, for the reason that he genuinely apologised.
It is a humiliating undertaking to say that we are and have been, evil and to yield our life utterly to God. However, lacking it we wouldn't be redeemed from our sins, we have to come to Sovereign God submissive and weak. Jesus Christ said :
'And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them. And he said, ?Truly I say to you, unless you will be converted and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.?' (Matthew 18:2-3)
Only Doing Many Big Stuff For God Most High Is Not Going To Deliver Humans
'For it is by his grace that we have been saved through faith, and this faith was not from you, but it is the gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)
Therefore, Do You Plan To Pay For Your Personal Obligation In Hell For Ever And Ever??
'And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)
To ?Take up our cross day by day? indicates, we need to be living in a self-sacrificing fashion each day for His Purpose.
The Bible also says:
'I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. (Romans 12:1)
'But dedicate your lives to Christ as Lord. Always be ready to defend your confidence in God when anyone asks you to explain it. However, make your defense with gentleness and respect.' (1Peter 3:15)
In brief: God Most High will become your boss. Always. And as the Bible teaches, we live for God, studies in the Bible, praying daily, informing others who God is, and serving some others when lead to. He, really is our purpose and quest for the whole of our existence.
