Simple English

But that can’t happen. We must come out and stand before him. We will see his glory and power. We will have to admit forever that all his decisions are right. He is right in everything he does. He shows mercy to people. He has all power to save everyone who believes in his name and who does what is needed to turn away from wrong.

Paraphrase

But that won’t be possible. We’ll have to stand before him in all his glory, power, might, majesty, and dominion. And in everlasting shame, we’ll have to admit that all his judgments are fair—that he is just in everything he does, that he is merciful to everyone, and that he has the power to save anyone who believes in his name and lives a changed life.“
