Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God
All men wish to see the true countenance of Jesus and desire to be with Him. I believe that not one of the brothers or sisters would say that he is unwilling to see or to be with Jesus. Before you have seen Jesus, that is, before you have seen the incarnate God, you will have many thoughts, for example, about Jesus’ appearance, His way of speaking, His way of life, and so on. However, when you really see Him, your thoughts will swiftly change. Why is this? Do you wish to know?
Almighty God says, "I have held people to a very strict standard all along. If your loyalty comes with intentions and conditions, then I would rather not have any of your so-called loyalty, for I abhor those who deceive Me through their intentions and extort Me with conditions. I only wish for people to be loyal to none other, and to do all things for the sake of and to prove that one word: “faith.”
One stage of the work of the two previous ages took place in Israel; another took place in Judea. Generally speaking, neither stage of this work left Israel; they were the stages of work carried out among the initial chosen people. Thus, in the view of the Israelites, Jehovah God is only the God of the Israelites. Because of Jesus’ work in Judea, and because of His completion of the work of the crucifixion, from the perspective of the Jews, Jesus is the Redeemer of the Jewish people. He is solely the King of the Jews, not of any other people; He is not the Lord who redeems the English, nor the Lord who redeems the Americans, but He is the Lord who redeems the Israelites, and in Israel it is the Jews that He redeems. Actually, God is the Master of all things.
The Work of Spreading the Gospel Is Also the Work of Saving Man
Almighty God says, "All people need to understand the purpose of My work on earth, that is, the final objective of My work and what level I must achieve in this work before it can be complete. If people, walking with Me to this day, do not understand what My work is all about, then have they not been walking with Me in vain? People who follow Me should know My will. I have been working on earth for thousands of years, and I am still doing so now. Although there are especially numerous items included in My work, its purpose remains unchanged.
God Himself is life and truth, and His life and truth are intertwined. Those who gain not His truth, gain not life. Without receiving the guidance and support of His truth, man is left with mere letters and doctrines, man is left with death. God’s life and truth are intertwined and ever-present. If you know not the source of truth, you receive not the nourishment of life. Christ of the last days brings life and carries enduring and everlasting truth. This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life. It is the only path to knowing God and receiving His approval. To ignore the path of life brought by Christ of the last days is to forsake the approval of Jesus, and turn yourself away from the kingdom of heaven. You become a puppet and prisoner of history.
II
If you gain not the provision of life, you surely possess not the truth. You are merely putrid flesh, just empty imagination and fruitless ideation. Christ of the last days brings life and carries enduring and everlasting truth. This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life. It is the only path to knowing God and receiving His approval. The words in books are not life, the records of history are not truth, the old ways of the past are not the records of the words God speaks today. The truth is expressed only by God on the earth and God among man. He expresses God’s will and His way of working.
III
People shackled by history and bound by doctrine, chained by regulations, will never gain life or the path to life everlasting. What they have is nothing but a thousand years of history and doctrine, like dark stagnant pools, which are not the water of life from the throne of God. And those who drink not from this water shall shamble as corpses forever, as thralls of Satan, as the sons of hell. Christ of the last days brings life and carries enduring and everlasting truth. This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life. It is the only path to knowing God and receiving His approval. Christ of the last days brings the way to eternal life.

No one is aware of the arrival of God, no one welcomes God’s arrival. Even more, no one knows all that God will do. No one knows all that God will do. Man’s life remains unchanged; the same heart, usual days. God lives among us like an ordinary person, as a most insignificant member of the followers, as an ordinary believer.

Man’s life remains unchanged; the same heart, usual days. God lives among us like an ordinary person, as a most insignificant member of the followers, as an ordinary believer. He has His own pursuits, and His own goals. And He has divinity not possessed by men. None has noticed the existence of His divinity, or the difference between His substance and man’s.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid, for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer. He watches our every move, and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him, are laid bare before Him.

We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us.
God’s love, unfailing, like the spring water extending forth. It is given to you, it is given to me, and it is given to him. God’s love given to all those who truly seek the truth and await the appearance, await the appearance of God. It is given to all those who truly seek the truth and await the appearance, await the appearance of God.
As the moon always follows the sun, the work of God never ceases. It is done in you, it is done in me, it is done in him as well. It is done in all those who follow God’s footprints and accept God’s judgment and chastisement. It is done in you, it is done in me, it is done in him as well. It is done in all those who follow God’s footprints and in all those who accept judgment and chastisement of God.

(Matt 12:1) At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
The sentence “the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day” tells people that God’s everything is immaterial, and although God can provide all of your material needs, once all of your material needs have been met, can the satisfaction from these things replace your pursuit of truth? That is clearly not possible! God’s disposition and what He has and is that we have fellowshiped about are both the truth. It cannot be measured with the heavy price of material objects nor can its value be quantified with money, because it is not a material object, and it supplies the needs of each and every person’s heart. For every person, the value of these intangible truths should be greater than the value of any material things you think are nice, right? This statement is something you need to linger over. The key point of what I’ve said is that what God has and is and God’s everything are the most important thing for every single person and it cannot be replaced by any material object.
I’ll give you an example: When you’re hungry, you need food. This food can be relatively good or relatively lacking, but as long as you have your fill, that unpleasant feeling of being hungry will no longer be there—it will be gone. You can sit there in peace, and your body will be at rest. People’s hunger can be resolved with food, but when you’re following God and feel that you have no understanding of Him, how can you resolve the emptiness in your heart? Can it be resolved with food? Or when you’re following God and don’t understand His will, what can you use to make up for that hunger in your heart? In the process of your experience of salvation through God, while pursuing a change in your disposition, if you don’t understand His will or don’t know what the truth is, if you don’t understand God’s disposition, don’t you feel very uneasy? Don’t you feel a strong hunger and thirst in your heart? Don’t these feelings prevent you from feeling peace in your heart? So how can you make up for that hunger in your heart—is there a way to resolve it? Some people go shopping, some find their friends to confide in, some people sleep their fill, others read more of God’s words, or they work harder and expend more effort to fulfill their duties.
Can these things resolve your actual difficulties? All of you fully understand these kinds of practices. When you feel powerless, when you feel a strong desire to gain enlightenment from God to allow you to know the reality of truth and His will, what do you need most? What you need isn’t a full meal, and it’s not a few kind words. More than that, it’s not the transient comfort and satisfaction of the flesh—what you need is for God to directly, clearly tell you what you should do and how you should do it, to clearly tell you what the truth is. After you’ve understood this, even if it’s just a tiny bit, don’t you feel more satisfied in your heart than if you had eaten a good meal? When your heart is satisfied, doesn’t your heart, your whole person, gain true peace? Through this analogy and analysis, do you understand now why I wanted to share with you this sentence, “the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day”? Its meaning is that what comes from God, what He has and is, and His everything are greater than any other thing, including the thing or the person you once believed you treasured most. That is to say, if a person cannot have words from the mouth of God or they do not understand His will, they cannot gain peace. In your future experiences, you will understand why I wanted you to see this passage today—this is very important. Everything that God does is truth and life. The truth for mankind is something that they cannot lack in their lives, that they can never do without; you could also say that it’s the greatest thing. Although you can’t look at it or touch it, its importance to you cannot be ignored; it is the only thing that can bring peace to your heart.

Hallelujah! Thank and praise You! Hallelujah! Thank and praise You, Almighty God! Christ of the last days has appeared, working and speaking among man. His word judges, chastises and purifies us, leading us onto the right way of human life. It is God’s word that has changed me, so I have the new life of praising God. (Hallelujah!) Pain and perplexity are gone; I’m released in spirit and sing a song. (Hallelujah!) It is really good to understand the truth. I’ve transcended the flesh, I’m so free! (Praise God!) All notions and misunderstandings are cleared away, my disobedient disposition is changed. I walk on the bright way of human life; God’s love is so precious and so real! (Praise God!) It’s God’s exaltation to enjoy God’s love. I’ve tasted God’s love and can never leave God again.
Brothers and sisters are together, without barriers or distance. We serve coordinated in the church, with one heart and mind, and merrily we sing a song of praise. The singing is full of love for God. We sing out sincere hearts. The practical God has renewed and changed us into a new man. Who does not express the affection in his heart? Who does not express the love in his heart? You dance to praise God, and I clap my hands aside. We’ve transcended burdens of the world, family, and flesh; loving each other, we are so sweet! The past old life will never return, and a golden time is ahead.
It’s so enjoyable to perform my duty and bear witness; we fellowship about the truth, released and free. God’s people enjoy the new life; the bright human life is waving to me. (Oh.) It’s so enjoyable to perform my duty and bear witness; we fellowship about the truth, released and free. God’s people enjoy the new life; the bright human life is waving to me. I will worship the practical God forever! Hallelujah!
