It is crucial to understand that God operates on the basis of the ultimate truth. He does not waver from His original standard of goodness. Even if the world descends into the most destructive state imaginable, God's judgment is still based on the highest standard of goodness. Thus, we witness the widespread destruction caused by one person's actions towards others in this world. We also realize that in order to restore this earth, God must adhere to the absolute knowledge of goodness. This explains why God's judgments are swift and impartial. Human beings are inherently independent from God. However, God has created the concept of time in order to assess and judge individuals based on their actions and behaviors throughout their lives. God has everything meticulously recorded, and even the smallest aspects of human existence are under His careful observation. Therefore, in His written revelations, God accurately portrays the true nature of humanity. God only deals with objective truths and complete knowledge, not with incomplete or distorted perspectives. He looks deep into the hearts of individuals. God has described human beings as foolish because from the moment of their birth, they assert their independence from Him. It is incomprehensible for someone who truly understands the magnificence of God's glory to intentionally disregard, redefine, or conceal genuine adoration, beauty, wisdom, honor, gratitude, and prosperity, in order to establish themselves as possessing these qualities independently of God. Such individuals desire to be their own gods and have essentially declared war against the true God. The problem lies in this pursuit of independence. Within the confines of time, people act according to their own understanding and beliefs. However, true order can only be established when individuals comprehend the real value of things as defined by God. Consequently, people live in accordance with their perception of the worth of the blessings they receive and the control they have over their own lives. It is important to acknowledge that God does not compromise His standards or overlook anything, allowing individuals to be considered good even if they do not meet His criteria. Every person is accountable for meeting God's standard of goodness, and failing to do so has detrimental consequences for all of humanity. God cannot deviate from His standard, as even a single negative thought can lead to destructive outcomes. When the cumulative effect of countless individuals with negative thoughts is considered across generations, the resulting destruction is immense. We have been given access to something beyond our current cultural understanding. Salvation, then, entails seeking the goodness that God prescribes, which surpasses our wildest imagination. It is a response to the destructive realities that humanity has perpetuated throughout history. It is important to recognize that our prayers alone are not sufficient to rectify the destructive nature of human interactions. Only God can surpass our desires for renewal and restore the world to His absolute standard. Therefore, it is only right to have an awe-inspiring reverence for this God alone.
