There are spiritual laws which God has put into place to govern spiritual matters just as surely as there are physical laws which govern the natural world. The spiritual world is not a land of make-believe. It’s very real and has its own order. There are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Even God submits Himself to the spiritual laws He has established. But many people don’t realize this. They think of Him as a chaotic tyrant who can and will do whatever He wishes. All sorts of silly assumptions have been made about Him and one of the worst is that He happily “sends people to hell.” Those who believe this picture Him as an arbitrary judge who decides who He will and won’t let into heaven. And the standard they believe He uses is frighteningly vague. They think He weighs our good deeds and our bad deeds, examines our lives to see if we’ve been religious enough, and then picks those He likes. It’s no wonder that many people openly or secretly fear and even hate Him. They think His will is arbitrary and that His future kingdom will be a place where every aspect of a person’s life is controlled by a harsh dictator.
