What is failure in God’s eyes? - Failure - TouchPoints

Exodus 34:6-7The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty.”

Malachi 3:5“At that time I will put you on trial. . . . I will speak against those who cheat employees of their wages, who oppress widows and orphans, or who deprive the foreigners living among you of justice, for these people do not fear me,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Failure in God’s eyes involves not living the way he created us to live, which requires loving God and loving others. God gave us the gift of life and designed us to have a relationship with him. Our greatest failure would be to reject that way of life and to reject the God who gave us life.
