Long ago “and far away” God decided how things were going to be. Are you down with that? God is asking you to repent and join Him – forever.
God is not reckless in any way
The God of the Bible is loving, and gives thought aforehand about all consequences of His actions. He knows what’s up before it happens, so nothing He does is “reckless”. God is not careless, hasty, impetuous, nor unwise. It’s not in His nature….” So why sing about a “reckless” God?
