What does it mean to take sides with God against oneself?

Answered in 1 source

Taking sides with God against oneself means confessing sin and agreeing with God's judgment of sin.

To take sides with God against oneself involves recognizing one's own sinfulness in light of God's holiness and judgment. This attitude, as demonstrated by Manasseh's sincere repentance, means not making excuses for one's actions but instead fully admitting guilt and seeking God's forgiveness. It is an act of humility, where one aligns with God's perspective on sin, thereby opening the heart to receive His grace and mercy.
