But, if all people sin, and God does not fellowship with—or even look upon—them, how can humans approach God—and learn how to be righteous? Is there a way for us to seek God?
Isaiah further writes, “Seek you [all people—sinners] the LORD while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (55:6-7).
This is how we can approach and seek God: by humbling ourselves, forsaking our sinful ways and obeying Him! Once a person learns the truth, repents from his sins, is baptized and receives the Holy Spirit, God no longer considers him a sinner. I John 3:22 records, “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.”
