God Accepts You to Come as You Are, but You Don't Accept Him as He is

For His part, God will accept you if you come just as you are.  It is you who refuses to accept Him as He is. Since He is the Creator and you the creature, it's you who need to be changed; He never changes.

He is holy!  But you are unwilling to be transformed into someone who is holy like Him.  You don't want to part ways with your sinful, poisonous, hedonistic way of life.

All glory belongs to Him! But you are unwilling to accept Him as the awesome, almighty, transcendent, unchanging God who deserves every bit of credit, merit, honor, and praise.  You want some credit for your efforts, which you are deluded into thinking can somehow atone for your transgressions against the Creator of the universe.

He is righteous! But you resent the discomfort of conscience you would feel in the presence of His purity and perfection. You prefer to stay in your own sin rather than be covered in Christ's righteousness.

"At [His] right hand are pleasures forevermore," but you are too addicted to your inferior, worldly stimulants and diversions to give them up for the superior pleasure and unspeakable joy of knowing Jesus Christ!

He is King! But you are unwilling to submit to His authority. You fancy yourself as self-willed, unaware that you're actually a pitiful slave to God's cruel enemy.

He is love! But you cannot give up your grudges and bitterness toward people who have violated you or your judgment of those to whom you feel superior, whether morally, mentally, or physically.


How long will you resist Him?
