Closer than ever to the end of this present evil age, we have an unusual window of opportunity to search out the hidden purpose of our existence, to find our way back to God.
In short, mankind desperately needs to be reconciled to God (Isaiah 59:1-14). It is our sins, our abandonment of God's laws, that stand in the way. Only when we repent of doing things contrary to God's instruction can we experience a true relationship with our Creator. We need to learn what He expects of us. We should not distance ourselves from the presence of God as did the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
What does He advise us to do? The answer is straightforward: "Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:6-7).
The Bible refers to the advice given here as repentance-as turning from our ways of doing things, and the bitter fruit those ways bring, and surrendering to God to begin living according to His ways. God "now commands all men everywhere to repent" and forsake our self-induced ignorance (Acts 17:30).
