God se antwoord / God's answer
Isa 55:7-9 MKJV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let
him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly
pardon.
God is saying here that neither your action or your thoughts will disqualify you. Just come to Me
and I will have mercy on you, His forgiveness is abundant.
[8] For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says the Lord. [9] For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than
your thoughts.
The way God thinks and reasons is way above the way we think and reason. It is as far as the
heavens is above the earth.
