Although people may follow God,

pray to Him every day, and read His utterances every day,

they don’t actually understand His intentions.

If someone understood God’s heart

and knew what He likes, what He loathes,

what He wants, what He rejects,

what kind of person He loves, what kind of person He dislikes,

what kind of standard He uses when making demands of people,

and what kind of approach He takes for perfecting them,

then could that person still have their own personal opinions?

Could people like this simply go and worship someone else?

Could an ordinary human become their idol?

People who understand God’s intentions

possess a slightly more rational viewpoint than that.

They are not going to arbitrarily idolize a corrupted person,

nor will they, while walking the path of putting the truth into practice,

believe that blindly adhering to a few simple rules or principles

is tantamount to putting the truth into practice.
