 The human being does not require a new moral compass. They are not defined by their choices, nor are they subject to the constraints of time. They do not rely on others as if they were gods, nor are they obligated to prove their worthiness to others by conforming to their expectations. However, the human being is directly accountable to God, as they stand condemned, incapable of pleasing Him, and spiritually dead due to their sins. They do not need a mere moral transformation; rather, they require a complete renewal of their being. The human being does not lack something in their character that needs to be incorporated, but rather they are in need of sovereign grace that precedes their inability to perform any good and grants them acceptance based on the work of someone else. Independence is not a virtue, as true goodness can only be achieved through complete dependence on God for everything. The human being's understanding of what needs to be assimilated through rehabilitation will not bring them closer to pleasing God; instead, they must act selflessly in order to truly love. Every facet of the human being's existence is ordained by God, serving as the foundation for their acceptance through their dependence on Him, even though they may feel insufficient. True freedom is only attained when the human being can express gratitude to God for their needs, as He is free to make them dependent in order to fulfill those needs. This is the essence of genuine freedom. When we approach God, we are in desperate need of His mercy. There is no other basis for us to comprehend the nature of God. We come before Him solely depending on the acceptability of another individual. Therefore, our approach to God is marked by our reliance on Him. God does not evaluate our efforts in approaching Him; He only rewards us based on one thing: our dependence on His Son. The more we recognize our need for mercy, the greater our reward. Our needs are met by God's unwavering love. God made the decision to love us throughout eternity. His love is the sole solution to all our needs. Because of His love for us, He has acted out of His goodness to provide us with everything we require. This is accomplished through His divine favor. We come to God seeking mercy, and He grants us gifts because it is inherent in His nature to demonstrate His love for us. God's love is unyielding, as there is no sin we can commit that would alter His love for us.God's love for us is not based on our individual qualities or actions, but rather on His own unwavering faithfulness. His love is constant and dependable because it is His response to our need for His mercy. When we approach God, we do so as flawed and unreliable beings. However, through His mercy, He sees us as completely faithful through His grace. All our needs, such as forgiveness, daily provision, understanding of our acceptance and eternal love, are met by God as a reward for our lack of faithfulness. God is faithful because He has loved us from the beginning and has freely given us His gifts out of His own pleasure and grace, in order to reward undeserving individuals who consistently seek His blessings. He remains faithful despite our misuse of His gifts, demonstrating His concern for His own reputation. Each time we approach God, we are in need. The more He demonstrates His mercy towards us, the more He is pleased with His own faithfulness. Without Him, we are unable to do anything good.
