God gives mankind a choice; if the choice is evil, then there are eternal consequences unless there is repentance.
Those people who blame God for what people do would be the same people who are angry at God's commands not to do evil.
The same people who hate God for His commands and principles blame Him for the actions of people. It is irrational to desire the choice to do what you want and then blame someone else for letting you do it.
John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commands."1
Samuel 15:22 "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams."
James 1:22 "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
Acts 5:29 "Peter and the other apostles replied: 'We must obey God rather than human beings!'"
Isaiah 1:19 "If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land."
1 John 5:3 "In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome."
Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?"
God gives us commands and principles to live by to protect us; it isn't His fault if you choose to deny Him, slander Him, and disrespect Him. You cannot expect to defy God without consequences.
There are great blessings from following Christ; His commands protect us when we follow them. However, just obeying Him is not enough; first you must repent, hate your sin, and ask Him to transform you into a new creation.
Attempting to be good without God does not save you from hell. Christ died to pay for our sin, but we have to want Him to cleanse us from it. We cannot cleanse ourselves; those who think they can will not be saved.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
May those who think they are earning their salvation through their own effort repent of their pride and trust only in Christ and not in themselves.
