Why does God want us to be good all the time? God gave us freewill, but if we follow his instructions, only there will we find peace. We are created in His image and our bodies belong to him. It is difficult to understand Him. I can see why people want to live without God or decision. It seems like you have more freedom to make your own choices.
God Himself is pure righteousness - never lies, never fails, keeps His promises, and is always thinking of His creatures. As such, it is impossible to get into heaven unless we too are pure righteousness.
But He has put us in a fallen world as a test - will we take the broad and easy road as many do, or the hard and narrow one as few do?
People who want to live without God ultimately take the broad and easy road, in most cases. And that choice is reflected in society - murder, rape, high rates of divorce, free and easy fornication, corruption, scandals, fraud, war, abortion, school shootings, pornography, prostitution, lying, domestic violence and all the rest.
That’s why Christ said His Kingdom is not of this world. This world is passing away, so choices which belong to the alleged freedom of this world will pass away with it.
