The Criteria of a Truly Good Person

The Criteria of a Truly Good Person

Moran    Linyi City, Shandong Province

Since I was a child, I always attached a great deal of importance to how other people saw me and their assessment of me. So that I could get praise from others for everything I did, I never argued with anyone whenever anything cropped up, so as to avoid destroying the good image other people had of me. After I’d accepted God’s work in the last days, I continued in this way, upholding in every way possible the good image that my brothers and sisters had of me. Previously, when I was in charge of the work, my leader would often say that my performance was like a “yes-person,” and not the performance of someone who put the truth into practice. I never took it to heart, but on the contrary if other people thought of me as a good person, then I felt satisfied.

The Words of the Holy Spirit | Almighty God's Words "God's Work and Man's Work" (Part Two)

      Introduction
      Almighty God says, "What man expresses is what he sees, experiences and can imagine. Even if it is doctrines or notions, these are all reachable by man’s thinking. Regardless of the size of man’s work, it cannot exceed the scope of man’s experience, what man sees, or what man can imagine or conceive. What God expresses is what God Himself is, and this is beyond the reach of man, that is, beyond the reach of man’s thinking. He expresses His work of leading all of mankind, and this is not relevant to the details of human experience, but is instead concerned with His own management. Man expresses his experience while God expresses His being—this being is His inherent disposition and is beyond the reach of man."

Though many people believe in God, few understand what faith in God means, and what they must do to be after God’s heart. This is because, though people are familiar with the word “God” and phrases such as “the work of God,” they do not know God, much less do they know His work. No wonder, then, that all those who do not know God are possessed of a muddled belief. People do not take belief in God seriously because believing in God is too unfamiliar, too strange for them. In this way, they fall short of the demands of God.

The Importance of Coordination in Service

Mei Jie    Jinan City, Shandong Province

After changing the church administration back to its original form, partnership was established for every level of leader in the household of God. At the time I thought this was a good arrangement. I was of a low caliber and I had a great deal of work; I really did need a partner to help me complete all types of work in my region.

God’s Name Will Be Magnified Among the Gentile Nations

    1. The purpose of God’s judgment is to encourage man’s obedience; the purpose of God’s chastisement is to allow for man’s transformation. Though God’s work is for His management’s sake, none of what He does isn’t good to man. God wants the lands beyond Israel to obey as the Israelites did, to make them into real men, so that in the lands beyond Israel God’s foothold shall be gained. This is the management of God. It’s His work in the lands of the Gentiles.

The Effect God’s Judgment Can Achieve

The Effect God’s Judgment Can Achieve

     1. God’s work in passing judgment is not, in two or three words, to make clear man’s whole nature, but slowly to reveal, deal with, prune him over time. Such forms of treatment can’t be changed for common words, only for truth, which lies beyond man’s compass. Only such work is deemed judgment; only such judgment can make man obey God in heart and mouth, within, without, and truly come to know Him.

        Introduction

      Wenya's parents separated when she was two, and after that she lived with her father and stepmother. Her stepmother couldn't stand her and was always arguing with her father. He had little choice—he had to send Wenya to her mother's house, but her mother was fully focused on running her business and didn't have any time to take care of Wenya, so she was often shuttled off to her relatives' and friends' homes to be fostered. After so many years of a life of foster care, young Wenya felt lonely and helpless, and longed for the warmth of a home. Only when her father and stepmother divorced did she return to her father's side, and from then on had a home, for better or for worse.

Regarding a Normal Spiritual Life | Almighty God

Regarding a Normal Spiritual Life

 A believer must have a normal spiritual life—this is the foundation for experiencing God’s words and entering into reality. Currently, can all of the prayers, the getting close to God, the singing, praising, meditation, and the trying to figure out God’s words that you practice meet the standards of a normal spiritual life? None of you are very clear on this. A normal spiritual life is not limited to prayer, song, church life, eating and drinking the words of God, and other such practices, but it means to live a spiritual life that is fresh and lively. It’s not about the method, but the result.

Meeting | The Church of Almighty God

At a meeting of church leaders I once attended, a newly elected church leader said: “I don’t have enough stature. I feel I’m not suited to fulfilling this duty. I feel pressured by so many things, to the extent that I haven’t been able to fall asleep for several days and nights in a row….” At the time, I was carrying burdens in my pursuit of God, so I communicated with her: “All work is performed by God; man simply cooperates a little. If we feel burdened, coming before God more often and relying on God will surely make us see God’s omnipotence and wisdom.

Introduction

In the last days, God will use the word to accomplish everything! In the words expressed by God, man’s true countenance is exposed. Evil shall return to evil; good shall return to good. Those who have accepted the work of God behold His true identity and status from His word, and then offer to cooperate with God. They’re spreading God’s name throughout the world so that people from all tribes and nations will exalt His holy name and acknowledge Him to be the God of all creatures. As for those resistant ones, they are also revealed in the judgment of God’s word, and thus receive God’s eternal chastisement. Finally, all things will be restored to what they were at the creation—the impure old world will come to nothing, and a holy new world will be built henceforth!

An Understanding of Being Saved

Lin Qing    Qingzhou City, Shandong Province

Over these several years of following God, I have given up the enjoyments of my family and the flesh, and I have been busy all day fulfilling my duty in the church. So I believed: As long as I don’t abandon the work in the church entrusted to me, don’t betray God, don’t leave the church, and follow God to the end, I’ll be spared and saved by God. I also believed that I was walking the path of salvation by God, and all I had to do was follow Him to the very end.

Bible Verses for Reference:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (Jhn 1:14).

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him” (Jhn 14:6-7).

“I am in the Father, and the Father in me …” (Jhn 14:10).

“I and my Father are one” (Jhn 10:30).

Relevant Words of God:

When God had not become flesh, people did not understand much of what He said because it came out of complete divinity. The perspective and context of what He said was invisible and unreachable to mankind; it was expressed from a spiritual realm that people could not see. For people who lived in the flesh, they could not pass through the spiritual realm.

Introduction

Since His creation of man, God has been protecting and watching over man. Although man didn’t obey His word and was corrupted by Satan, God has never given them up but has been guiding and supplying them. In the last days, God returns to flesh and does a work of judgment and chastisement by the word. Under the guidance of His word, man beholds God’s almightiness and wisdom, appreciates God’s great love and salvation for him, and knows God’s holiness and righteousness. At the same time, man discerns the ugly face of Satan, sees through various tricks with which Satan corrupts man, and thus rejects Satan and returns before God. These are the results achieved by the work of the word.

God’s Words Have Awakened Me

God’s Words Have Awakened Me

Miao Xiao    Jinan City, Shandong Province

In the past, I used to always think that when God said “a puppet and traitor who flees from the great white throne” He was referring to those who accept this stage of work but end up retreating because they are unwilling to bear the suffering of His chastisement and judgment. Therefore, whenever I saw brothers and sisters back out from this path for whatever reason, my heart would be filled with contempt toward them: There goes another puppet and traitor fleeing from the great white throne who shall receive God’s punishment. At the same time, I felt I was behaving properly in accepting God’s judgment and was not far from receiving God’s salvation.

Introduction

God created everything and governs everything; at the same time, He rules over and supplies all things. This is God’s true identity: the unique God Himself. God is in heaven and also on earth. He can both ascend to the highest place and humble Himself by assuming flesh. Since man was corrupted by Satan, God has never left man, but has been taking good care of, showing concern for, and watching over man. To save man from the influence of Satan thoroughly, God carries out the six-thousand-year management plan, does three stages of work, and changes ages by different names. In the last days, God is no longer called Jehovah or Jesus, but is called the powerful Almighty God Himself. He will use this name to conclude the entire age and restore His original status in the hearts of all creatures. He will make the whole of mankind see His true face and acknowledge that He is the God of all creatures.

Qingxin    Zhengzhou City, Henan Province

Regarding the “God is righteous” aspect of the truth, I used to always have a somewhat absurd understanding. I thought that as long as someone reveals corruption in their work or commits transgressions that damage the church’s work, that person shall face retribution, or lose their duty or be subjected to punishment. That is God’s righteousness.

Introduction

Listen! God’s people are telling the story of God and man by their attractive singing. A touching and warm picture is thus presented: For six thousand years, God has been treating man as His dearest one. He not only made coats of skins for man, but has always been protecting and caring for man at their side silently. Also, He unfailingly supplies man and devotes everything to man. From this, man can truly feel God’s faithfulness, honor, humbleness, and loveliness. Almighty God, Christ of the last days who is brimming with authority and power, has now come to the world and done the work of judgment with His word. God’s people will surely listen to His voice; all those who truly love God have already returned to His throne one after another. Gradually, all people will have reverence toward God and restart a harmonious, happy life with Him.
