How good it is to read the Bible and rejoice in passages in God's Word like this:

John 15:5 ...apart from me you can do nothing.

WE DEPEND ON GOD!

This should be the conviction of every human being and if everyone had this understanding, humanity would certainly not be going through the situations we see today, such as: poverty, illnesses, addictions, prostitution, adultery, rapes, murders, robberies , extreme evil that anyone who has God in their heart could never do.

THE REASON FOR ALL EVIL IN THE WORLD IS THE ESTABLISHMENT BETWEEN MAN AND GOD, as God always wanted his people to seek him and obey him, so that these people could live the best on this earth.

NOT DEPENDING ON GOD means living by our own strength and our own wisdom, and we know that we do not have enough strength or wisdom to overcome our struggles and our enemy, because as you know, THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WORLD and everything first happens in this spiritual world and then happen in the natural world.

We also know that the spiritual world is influenced by the power of God and the strength of Satan.

God has always had and always will have all power in heaven and on earth.

Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Satan, as he has always done, tries to corrupt the Word of God, influencing the practice of sin and consequently, where there is sin, there is the curse and separation between man and God, which is what he desires, to steal, kill and to destroy.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Never forget that when Adam and Eve sinned, they tried to justify their attitudes before God, but God did not accept it and expelled them from his presence, stripped them of their glory and decreed the death sentence on them and on humanity.

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

MAN WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT GOD, rather he will perish in his ways and purposes, he will live a life of sadness, pain, anguish and will be at the mercy of Satan's wills and values, therefore he will live in this world without peace and without joy and in the world to come man will reach eternal death.

Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

There is no point in thinking that you can act the way you want and that God will accept you, simply because He loves you.

NO, NO AND NO!

God's will and the parameters of his judgment are in the Bible and no one can change that, quite the contrary, we have to ensure that we act more and more according to the Bible, so that we have a prosperous life in this world (in the spiritual and material sense) and in the world to come we reach salvation.

Revelation 22:
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

Rejoice in knowing that you depend on God, for who could take better care of us than the most high God.

Psalm 91:
14 Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
