Almighty God has rights. He has the right to be revered. Why does He have this right? You don’t exist, and I don’t exist, except that He created us. You and I cannot survive through the day; except that, Almighty God sustains our lives with properly functioning lungs, hearts, brains etc.
OH YES! Do you really think life just goes on randomly? Impossible!
And can you believe it? The One Who created us also diligently pursues a relationship with us in hopes, that we will gratefully acknowledge Him. We owe Him everything, whether we like it, or not.
And get this: Almighty God expects even secular people to have a minimum morality and there are consequences for utterly refusing to do thus. We reap what we sow. We may not reap the consequences for a long time, but we will reap them nevertheless.
The Almighty personally wrote down some very basic expectations for mankind. It is His right to do this. It is His right to expect an orderly responsible response from those He created in His own image.
1. It is foolish to ignore the Creator and give attention to inferior deities. He commands that we properly reverence Him.
2. It is ridiculous to fashion a statue out of wood or brass or gold or anything else, and then bow down to it and serve it. Only the Creator is to be sought after.
3. It is unacceptable to misuse the name of Almighty YaHVeH. He has revealed His name to us, because He wanted us to know Him personally and His name is holy.
4. After Almighty God created man and all things over a period of 6 days; He rested for a day. He wants us to do like He does.
5. The Almighty made the natural order of a man and a woman bearing children. As man does not exist without Almighty God and therefore owes Him so very much; so also, children do not exist without their mother and father and therefore ought to honor them.
6. As we are made in the image of Creator; so also, our fellow man is made in the image of Almighty God. It is totally unacceptable to murder another who is made in the image of Almighty God.
7. The Almighty made a man and a woman for an exclusive relationship, and this relationship must not be violated by outsiders. It is the Almighty’s design.
8. Our Creator gave mankind the personal right of property ownership and explicitly forbade stealing.
9. The Almighty purposefully disallows any person to put forth a false discourse about another person. This is destructive and unacceptable.
10. Almighty God commanded humans not to long for that which belongs to someone else. God made a legitimate way for all of us to get good things for ourselves.
It is God’s right to keep mankind within certain boundaries, even after He gave them freedom of choice. When mankind crosses these boundaries; it is His right to do whatever He deems necessary to restore order. Whoever fights with Him over this deserves the discipline that is soon to follow.
Oh, so you think you have rights huh? Well Almighty God has rights too! And He has every right in the world to exercise those rights. The JUDGMENT DAY is coming. Do you KNOW Jesus Messiah? He is the only way to heaven and Almighty God had every right to make it that way.
