How very strange that it is not usual for humans to persistently obey or submit to the authority of God and even justice itself and right behaviour is distant and alien to many humans. Faith is needed to overcome this. It overcomes the 'world'. It overcomes humans driven by desire and not justice and right behaviour and the authority of God. The judgment will be against those who persistently forsake what is right and includes a lake of fire in the future new order but in this life there is the promise of being made righteous if we adhere to Christ's teachings. One major teaching is to have such faith in God that you or I commamd nature and by the power of God nature obeys. It is a sign of the greater order of things like this to come when Christ returns. It is a fortaste.
The truth we need to adhere to is not so much out there but is bound up in testimonies of faithful and true witnesses and especially found as the word that God gives on things which He sends people to testify concerning it. Jesus is most renowned as one such faithful and true witness. The people we are when we are part of the 'world' is characterised more by lies and illfeelings however but Christ promises transformation to us if we hold to what He has said and continues to say and teach. Then we too can become truthful and this as we know the truth that sets us free.
