Most of us know that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. However, God does not delight in the death of the sinner. His desire is that they would turn to Him and live (Ezekiel 33:11). He wants us to turn to Him so that we would not be condemned by our sin. He wants us to be free from what is coming if we do not turn away from our desire to have the final say and turn to Him.
