What God despises the most and wants to give up on are intransigent people. They are fully aware of their wrongdoings but do not repent, they never admit their faults and always make excuses and arguments to justify themselves and deflect blame, and they try to find smooth and evasive ways around the issue, shielding their actions from others' eyes, and making continuous mistakes without the slightest degree of repentance or confession in their hearts. It's not easy for such a person to achieve salvation. They are the very people that God wants to abandon. Outwardly it looks like God does not save them, and does not want them, but in fact these people do not accept God's salvation; they reject and resist God's salvation.

II

If people want to be saved, the only way is for them to accept the truth, know themselves, practice repentance, and live out the truth reality. In this way, they can obtain God's approval. They must practice the truth so that they're able to submit to and fear God, which is the ultimate goal of salvation. Submission to and fear of God must be embodied in people and lived out by them. If you don't walk the path of pursuing the truth, there is no second path you can choose.

III

If a person does not walk this path, it can only be said that they do not believe the truth can save them. They do not believe that all of the words God spoke can transform them and make them become a genuine person. They fundamentally do not believe that God is the truth, nor do they believe in the fact that the truth can change and save people. Such a person's heart is too intransigent. They refuse to accept the truth no matter what, they are beyond hope of salvation, and it's impossible to save them.
