God allows you to fail and rebel while you experience and practice the truth. It is not like God will no longer want you, or that He'll sentence you to death for not listening to Him on one occasion. God does not do this. Why is it said the love of God is extremely vast when He saves people? God's love is manifested in His tolerance and patience toward people. He is constantly tolerating you, but not indulging you. God's tolerance is about Him knowing people's stature, knowing their innate capacity, knowing what people reveal in certain circumstances, and allowing you to reveal these things, giving you a certain amount of space, and accepting you when you come back to Him and sincerely repent, while also recognizing the sincerity of your repentance.

When God is saving you, He sometimes allows you to be willful like this; this is His tolerance and this is the mercy He shows people. However, people cannot be self-indulgent when they see His mercy, and treat His patience and tolerance as a sort of weakness, or see it as an excuse for rebelling against Him and not heeding His words. This is rebelliousness and wickedness on the part of people. The tolerance and patience God shows you stretches on without limit. If you can sense God's earnest intentions, that is a good thing. No matter what God does, He wants the best for people. No matter what situations He sets out or what He asks you to do, He always wishes to see the best outcome.
