How Do the Wise Virgins Hear the Voice of God and Welcome the Lord?

15/01/2020

He who is God’s incarnation shall hold the substance of God, and He who is God’s incarnation shall hold the expression of God. Since God becomes flesh, He shall bring forth the work He must do, and since God becomes flesh, He shall express what He is, and shall be able to bring the truth to man, bestow life upon man, and show man the way. Flesh that does not contain the substance of God is surely not the incarnate God; of this there is no doubt. To investigate whether it is God’s incarnate flesh, man must determine this from the disposition He expresses and the words He speaks. Which is to say, whether or not it is God’s incarnate flesh, and whether or not it is the true way, must be judged from His substance. And so, in determining whether it is the flesh of God incarnate, the key is to pay attention to His substance (His work, His words, His disposition, and many more), rather than external appearance. If man sees only His external appearance, and overlooks His substance, then that shows the ignorance and naivety of man. … More How Do the Wise Virgins Hear the Voice of God and Welcome the Lord?

Back then, when her daughter-in-law was sick, Xinrui was filled with blame and unreasonable demands for God, but God still took mercy on her over and over again.

What Is the Incarnation?

12/01/2020

“The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself” (“The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). … More What Is the Incarnation?

How Will God Judge Us on Judgment Day? I Finally Have the Answer

10/01/2020

I knew it was true. Prophecies come from God and shouldn’t be distorted by us humans. This sister’s fellowship was very reasonable and in line with the Bible. I thought about how the videos I had watched before that described the scene of the great white throne judgment had really lined up with my understanding of the Bible, so I agreed with them. But thinking about it after hearing this fellowship, I saw that we are all people who are corrupted by Satan, so how could we see into the work of God? God’s thinking and God’s wisdom are more elevated than man’s and prophecies come from God, so only God can know exactly how they will be fulfilled. We can’t delimit them based on what we imagine. … More How Will God Judge Us on Judgment Day? I Finally Have the Answer

End the Anguished Life, Find the Path to Eliminate Sin

08/01/2020

In all ages, we man’s mournful destiny has never been changed. We all have weddings and funerals, enjoy merrymaking, are busy laboring to earn money, suffer hardships, only to feel empty and helpless. The development of knowledge and science is awesome to us; the sheer cunning and falsehood in the workplace exhausted us mentally and physically; the indulgence and merrymaking after we are satiated with food and drink deprave us and lead us astray; the interests and the nepotism between people makes us frown and sigh. We inevitably reveal our helplessness and have questions about life, as well. … More End the Anguished Life, Find the Path to Eliminate Sin

How to Build a Close Relationship With God

06/01/2020

God says: “To build a good relationship with God is a top priority for anyone believing in God; everyone should treat it as the most important task and as their major life event” (“How Is Your Relationship With God?”). We can see from God’s words that establishing a normal relationship with God in one’s faith in God is a truth of the utmost importance. If we wish to pursue God’s commendation and serve God’s will, only through having a normal relationship with God can these things be achieved. If we do not have a normal relationship with God, then we do not deserve to be called believers—that is why establishing a normal relationship with God is so important. So how are we to establish a normal relationship with God? Below is a simple fellowship of the four principles. … More How to Build a Close Relationship With God

New English Gospel Song With Lyrics | “I’ve Enjoyed So Much of God’s Love”

05/01/2020

Through judgment, chastisement, I know myself. Need God’s salvation, I resolve to seek the truth. Corrupted by Satan, with its disposition, I’m self-right and arrogant, yet still think I am good. Through Your judgment, I see that You’re holy and lovely. In remorse, I fall down, deeply thinking of You. At last I can love You after years of believing. My heart is so happy and filled with peace. No matter the test, I’m never leaving You. … More New English Gospel Song With Lyrics | “I’ve Enjoyed So Much of God’s Love”
