To humans, 70% success may be applauded. This justifies why most academic institution grade 70% and above as excellence or distinction as the case may be. Base on human grading, one could have given King Soul a standing ovation ro conquering he Amalekites and destoying all they had, sparing only King Agag and some spoils meant for sacrifice to God, not for his personal consumption. But in God's own rating, he was disobedient because God's express institution was that he should ''utterly detroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and sucking, ox and sheep and camel ass' ' (1Samuel 15:3). This act of partial obedience greatly displeased the Lord because His expectation from Soul was complete obedience.
Similarly, God demands total obedience in your daily walk with Him. He's perfectly holy, and demands perfect holiness from you. Dont be deceived by the erroneous beliefs hat provided your good deeds outweigh your evil deeds, God will accept you. Th truth is that anything devoid of complete obedience falls short of God's standard and expectations from ll Christians, " for whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he's guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgrresor of the law (James 2:10-11)
God doesnt lower his standard to suir humanity neither doest He set an aarbitrary standard but he had made provision that would enable us live a life of complete obedience to Him.
