Psalm 145:17 NASB95
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds.
Habakkuk 1:13 NASB95

Ezekiel 28:12–19 (NASB95)

13 “You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.
14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 “You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 “By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you.
18 “By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.
19 “All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.” ’ ”
Isaiah 14:13–14 NASB95
13 “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’

God resist Pride

james 4.6-10 “6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”
Sin separates us from God
Micah 3:4 (NASB95)
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.
The BIBLE says…
1. Man is a sinner
Romans 3:23 (NAS): for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Sin Defined;
When we think of sin, many times we think only of robbery, murder, adultery, etc., but the Bible tells us that sin is anything that doesn’t please God or is a transgression of his law. Anything we do that we shouldn’t do, like losing our temper or stealing, these are sins of commission. Anything we should do, but don’t do, like failing to pray or read the Bible, or to let the Bible correct us when we’re wrong, or to truly love our neighbor, these are sins of omission..there are not only sins in deed, but also sins in our words, and thoughts, like lying, cursing, lust, pride, and hatred. The Bible says these are all sins.
2. Man cannot save himself.
Matthew 5:48 (NAS): “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
God Loves you, therefore He doesn't want to punish you.
God is Just therefore He must punish sin

Jesus is the answer

16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB95
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Romans 5:8 NASB95
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Colossians 2:13–14 NASB95
13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Since heaven is the abode of God, heaven is also the source and location of salvation.
