  • As for this verse, I could never quite comprehend it.

  • What does “being saved” really mean?

  • What does it have to do with entering the kingdom of heaven?

  • These questions have plagued me for over twenty years.

  • Only when Almighty God’s end-time work came,

  • His word finally put an end to my confusion.

  • Being saved into the kingdom of heaven is a mystery.

  • If Almighty God had not revealed this mystery,

  • man would never ever understand!

  • You’re right!

  • Almighty God’s end-time work has revealed all mysteries,

  • explaining the truth that we believers didn’t understand before.

  • Thank God!

  • It took me twenty years, and the road has been bumpy until today.

  • If not for God’s salvation in the last days,

  • if I’d continued in my walk with God,

  • just believing in my own way,

  • the final result would have been total destruction.

  • But, I had never thought that

  • God’s end-time chastisement and judgment would thus come upon me,

  • letting me hear His voice and understand the truth He expresses,

  • and bringing me before His presence.

  • God’s end-time salvation is indeed marvelous!

  • Hmm, right!

  • Oh, yes….

  • I really appreciate that….

  • Thank the Lord.

  • We have to pray to the Lord and read the Bible more. May the Lord bless you!

  • Of course! May the Lord be with you!

  • Co-workers, let’s end today’s Bible study meeting.

  • Does anyone still have any questions?

  • No questions.

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Brother Fan, there is a question that’s been troubling me.

  • What is it? Go ahead.

  • Now everyone of us often sins, and often confesses.

  • This is not doing the will of our Father.

  • Do you think people like us could enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Yeah. Why can’t we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • How can we be shut out of it?

  • He’s right. We all often sin and confess;

  • how can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • I don’t understand. How can we be kept out of the kingdom of heaven?

  • Brother Wu,

  • it looks like our knowledge of salvation is still inadequate.

  • The book of Romans says,

  • Amen!

  • To confess with our mouth and believe in our heart is all we must do.

  • Righteousness through faith means we are hence forever saved.

  • Amen!

  • When our Lord comes again, He will bring us directly into the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • Brother Wu, we shouldn’t have any misgivings about this!

  • Yeah!

  • You’re right. Thank the Lord! We’re already saved.

  • We’ll enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • What’s there to doubt, really?

  • Yes, that’s right. That’s a good question. Can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • I don’t think so!

  • Although we are saved, we’re still sinning by day and confessing by night.

  • We’re still not doing the will of our Father in heaven.

  • We can’t enter the kingdom of heaven yet.

  • Amen!

  • Yes!

  • Brother, but don’t forget Paul in the book of Galatians says,

  • Since we are children of God by believing in Jesus,

  • surely we can enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen! …

  • Yes, you are right.

  • Brother Lang, I wouldn’t approve of what you said.

  • The Scripture says,

  • Although we have been saved,

  • this does not mean that we are holy.

  • Because we often sin and confess,

  • and are not worthy to see our Lord’s face.

  • How can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Yes. How can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • I just don’t know how.

  • Fellow co-workers, Paul in the book of Romans has already told us clearly,

  • Amen!

  • The Lord Jesus has forgiven us all our sin.

  • Both sins we committed in the past

  • and those we’ll commit in the future

  • have been forgiven by the Lord.

  • Amen!

  • The Lord no longer sees us as sinners.

  • We can certainly enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • We cannot have doubts over this!

  • That’s right! Paul in the book of Romans also says,

  • We are no longer under condemnation

  • because we believe in Jesus Christ! (Yes! ...)

  • We shouldn’t worry. We’ll enter the kingdom of heaven. (Yes!)

  • Brother Wu’s worry is unnecessary.

  • We definitely can enter. (I don’t know.)

  • Brothers and sisters, since the Scripture has said that

  • “...holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord,”

  • and even the Lord Jesus said

  • only he who does the will of the heavenly Father

  • can enter the kingdom of heaven. (Amen!)

  • This is sufficient proof that only they who attain holiness

  • can enter the kingdom of God!

  • Amen! Yes, you are right. Just right.

  • Lord Jesus has forgiven all our sins and doesn’t regard us as sinful.

  • Aren’t we holy already?

  • My fellow co-workers, on the question of being saved,

  • Paul has already told us all clearly,

  • Amen!

  • The Lord’s salvation is freely given by grace

  • and does not depend on human works.

  • If this depended on human works,

  • how can we call this Lord’s grace?

  • Amen!

  • Now we can enter the kingdom of heaven based on the Lord’s grace.

  • Amen!

  • Brother Fan is right. Paul in the book of Timothy also said,

  • We who believe in Jesus enter the kingdom of heaven based on grace.

  • If it were based on works, who then could be saved?

  • Yeah, yeah!

  • We just live by the grace of Jesus Christ.

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • whether we believers can enter the kingdom of heaven

  • is decided by what the Lord Jesus said or what Paul said?

  • By what the Lord Jesus said.

  • Is it Lord Jesus’ words that have authority

  • or Paul’s words that have authority?

  • The Lord Jesus’ words have authority.

  • Do we confess that

  • the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth and the life?

  • Of course we confess!

  • Good, since we confess

  • that the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth and the life,

  • and what Paul said and what our Lord Jesus said

  • are contradictory and are opposite,

  • that would mean that what Paul said is impure.

  • It comes from human will and is not the truth.

  • I would rather believe what our Lord Jesus said,

  • It’s the standard for entering the kingdom of heaven!

  • Right!

  • The word of Lord Jesus is unshakable truth.

  • But are Paul’s words not the truth? Not the words in the Bible?

  • We should listen and obey everything that is in the Bible.

  • What Paul has said sounds more simple.

  • No suffering, no price to pay, and still we can be saved.

  • Isn’t this better?

  • Amen! ...

  • Yes! (Is that possible?)

  • Brothers and sisters, I feel we who believe in God

  • should make the words of Lord Jesus the standard.

  • Because Lord Jesus is the Lord of the kingdom of heaven.

  • His word is the only truth, the only authority.

  • If His words carry authority then what He says counts.

  • Paul isn’t the Lord of the kingdom of heaven;

  • his words don’t carry authority, nor do they count.

  • Paul was nothing more than an apostle with a corrupt human nature.

  • He himself needs God’s salvation.

  • Whether he can enter the kingdom of heaven

  • is still decided by the Lord Jesus.

  • What right does he have to decide if others can enter or not?

  • Right. It’s hard to say

  • whether Paul himself can enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • so how can he decide whether others can enter or not?

  • Those words were inspired by God….

  • Co-workers, about being saved into the kingdom of heaven,

  • let us all return and seek answers through prayer.

  • We’ll end today’s meeting here. Let us pray.

  • Our father had a backache. Is he any better now?

  • Mm, much better.

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Guoyi. (Mm.)

  • About today’s co-worker meeting, I think Brother Wu is right.

  • Paul is not the Lord of the kingdom of heaven.

  • He can’t decide if man can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Lord Jesus is the King of it.

  • He is the way, the truth and the life.

  • Only His words can decide if we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Lord Jesus speaks the truth.

  • But Paul’s words were inspired by God. They’re also the truth.

  • Is there anything wrong in following Paul’s words?

  • If you believe in God, why not follow Lord Jesus’ words?

  • Why do you insist on following Paul’s words?

  • Do you trust in Lord Jesus or in Paul?

  • Who exactly do you believe in?

  • What do you know? How many times have you read the Bible?

  • Since Paul’s words are recorded in the Bible,

  • they must have come from God.

  • If we follow Paul’s words, we’re not wrong!

  • The Pharisees knew the Scripture very well,

  • yet they nailed our Lord Jesus to the cross.

  • Does knowing the Scripture mean knowing the Lord?

  • The Pharisees were hypocrites.

  • They followed man’s teaching and made God’s commandments void.

  • I’d say that you’re no different from them,

  • exalting man’s words, following man’s words instead of the Lord’s.

  • You’re actually calling me a Pharisee? Calling me a hypocrite?

  • I’ve served the Lord for over twenty years.

  • What gives you the right?

  • How dare you? I need rights to teach you?

  • What’s that supposed to mean?

  • That’s just arrogant!

  • Guoyi, no matter how difficult it gets in the future,

  • you must watch over our Lord’s flock.

  • Let our brothers and sisters take root

  • and grow on the path to holiness.

  • That is a wise and faithful servant.

  • And I believe that

  • there will be a crown of righteousness laid up for us.

  • Recently, there are more weak brothers and sisters in the church.

  • And some of those who have been more actively seeking God

  • have embraced the “Eastern Lightning.”

  • What? What’s going on? I don’t understand.

  • In order to protect the flock,

  • we must dismiss all those who embrace the “Eastern Lightning”

  • from our church!

  • As the Lord’s servants, we must be faithful to the Lord.

  • We must visit the believers and watch over the flock.

  • We cannot let these “Eastern Lightning” followers

  • steal our good sheep any longer.

  • Brother Fan,

  • what the “Eastern Lightning” followers are preaching,

  • we’ve never heard.

  • You’re blindly driving the brothers and sisters

  • who embrace the “Eastern Lightning” from the church.

  • Does this conform to the Lord’s heart?

  • Yes, Brother Wu is right!

  • If we’re really thinking about the flock,

  • we should take the initiative

  • to examine what the “Eastern Lightning” is all about

  • to see if what Almighty God expresses is the truth,

  • and if Almighty God is the returned Jesus Christ.

  • If the “Eastern Lightning” is the true way,

  • we should be bringing our brothers and sisters to it.

  • If what they’re spreading is not the true way,

  • then we’d be able to answer to our brothers and sisters.

  • What’s there to examine?

  • Surely Brother Fan would know if it’s the true way or not.

  • And we support his plan.

  • Dismiss everyone who embraces the “Eastern Lightning.”

  • To protect the flock, Brother Fan is right.

  • I’m doing this out of responsibility

  • for the lives of our brothers and sisters.

  • If we do not seal up the church

  • and not dismiss everyone who embraces the “Eastern Lightning,”

  • in no time at all,

  • all of our good sheep would be stolen away by them.

  • How can we answer to the Lord?

  • That settles it. It is decided!

  • So now, we’ll end today’s discussion about the work of our church.

  • Is there anything else?

  • No, nothing much.

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Brother Fan,

  • about being saved and entering the kingdom of heaven,

  • we didn’t come to a conclusion.

  • I think these two things are not one and the same.

  • Yes, please tell us the difference.

  • I don’t understand.

  • So how do you see it, then?

  • I think that being saved means

  • being free from the condemnation of the law.

  • It refers to sins being forgiven.

  • But those who are saved

  • can still oppose and rebel against God through sin.

  • While those who enter the kingdom of heaven

  • ought to be those who do the will of our Father in heaven,

  • who obey God’s word.

  • They are those who know and submit to God,

  • who are compatible with God.

  • So, being saved and entering the kingdom of heaven

  • are two different matters.

  • Many are saved, but few enter into the kingdom of heaven.

  • Yes, that’s true. Yeah, we surely can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • My fellow co-workers, I agree with Brother Wu’s point of view.

  • It’s not so easy to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • It’s not just about relying on grace.

  • We must actively follow the Lord’s way

  • before we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Absolutely.

  • We must trust the Lord’s way

  • and do all we can to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Brother Wu, I agree that you are right.

  • To enter the kingdom of heaven

  • is to do the will of our heavenly Father.

  • But haven’t we been imitating Paul,

  • setting everything aside for the Lord’s work,

  • laboring and paying the price?

  • Is this not doing the will of our heavenly Father?

  • Yes! That’s right. Oh! That’s what it is.

  • You see?

  • We believe that if we persevere to the end,

  • we will enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • Brother Fan is right!

  • We follow the Bible’s teaching,

  • spreading the gospel, suffering for the Lord,

  • preaching everywhere, watching the flock.

  • That is doing the will of our heavenly Father.

  • Yes, I think so. Right!

  • Does “doing the heavenly Father’s will” only mean that?

  • I wouldn’t see it that way.

  • The Lord Jesus has never said that

  • if we laid everything else aside and labored for Him,

  • we would enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • I say those who truly do the will of the heavenly Father

  • should be those who love God

  • with their heart, their soul and their mind.

  • They have attained holiness and never sin.

  • Only they can enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Right!

  • The righteous here are not those “justified by faith,”

  • but those who do the works of righteousness and never sin.

  • While we may now lay all aside for the Lord’s work,

  • we still sin and are not truly righteous.

  • We are not worthy to enter the kingdom of God.

  • Amen! Yeah!

  • Amen! Yeah! I agree. Amen!

  • We of course can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • My fellow co-workers, regarding entering the kingdom of heaven,

  • the apostle Paul has shown us the route.

  • Amen!

  • What Paul said is enough to prove that

  • when we spread the gospel, labor and suffer, and keep the faith,

  • we are doing the will of our heavenly Father

  • and the works of righteousness.

  • Amen!

  • In doing this, we can surely gain the crown of righteousness,

  • and enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Right! We only need to imitate Paul,

  • spending ourselves on the Lord’s work, subduing our self,

  • and we will have a part in the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Sister, based on what you have said,

  • the Pharisees had traveled over land and sea,

  • suffering hardships for spreading the gospel everywhere,

  • and exhibiting some outwardly good behaviors.

  • Were they then doing the will of our heavenly Father?

  • Entering the kingdom of heaven is very simple.

  • Outwardly,

  • the Pharisees appeared to be suffering for the sake of God,

  • but they could still oppose God and nail Jesus to the cross.

  • That’s sufficient to prove

  • that outwardly suffering and good behaviors

  • do not represent doing the will of our heavenly Father,

  • nor knowing and submitting to God.

  • Yes, outwardly one may look like that he’s very well behaved,

  • but not really doing the will of the Lord. (True, very true.)

  • Today, we labor and suffer for the Lord,

  • and have some outwardly good behaviors,

  • but we can still sin and oppose God.

  • We are not following the will of our heavenly Father.

  • We’re not worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen! ...

  • Right.

  • We still sin often,

  • so we are unqualified to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Exactly! Performing outwardly good behaviors

  • is not doing the will of our heavenly Father.

  • They still won’t get us into the kingdom of heaven.

  • Yes, that’s right.

  • What the sister said is right!

  • Exactly what she was saying, I agree. Yes, correct.

  • Is there something wrong

  • in striving according to what Paul said?

  • Not at all!

  • I believe that Paul is never wrong in what he said.

  • Amen!

  • It can’t be wrong!

  • Right. Paul said that if we toil and labor for the Lord,

  • there’ll be a crown of glory laid up for us.

  • Whatever the case,

  • I firmly believe that what Paul said is the truth!

  • Amen!

  • We aren’t wrong to follow what Paul said!

  • Exactly! We aren’t wrong!

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • entering the kingdom of heaven is not about following Paul.

  • It’s about what Jesus said.

  • Amen!

  • What Paul taught us

  • is not to follow the will of our heavenly Father.

  • It is his own view on entering the kingdom of heaven.

  • It’s the opposite of what Lord Jesus said.

  • Are we going to believe that Paul’s word is the truth,

  • or that the word of our Lord Jesus is the truth?

  • Lord Jesus’ word is the truth.

  • Are we going to trust in our Lord Jesus or in Paul?

  • We trust in our Lord Jesus.

  • But what Paul said…

  • Only Lord Jesus’ word is the truth.

  • We believe in God, so Lord Jesus’ word is our standard.

  • That’s what I’ve been saying. We have to follow Lord Jesus.

  • If we want to enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • we must follow the word of our Lord Jesus.

  • Lord Jesus is the gate to the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • Hmm, yes, yes, I agree.

  • Indeed, the Lord Jesus’ word is the truth.

  • But Paul’s word is inspired by God.

  • It comes from God. It is also the truth.

  • Amen!

  • There is nothing wrong in following Paul’s word!

  • Amen! That’s right! There is nothing wrong!

  • Brother Fan, are you guaranteeing

  • that Paul’s word comes from God and is inspired by God?

  • Is Paul’s word the truth or not?

  • Lord Jesus’ word is the truth.

  • We need to follow the word of Christ.

  • Brothers and sisters, in the time of the apostles,

  • when the believers received Paul’s letters,

  • who treated his word as the word of God? (Exactly!)

  • The answer is nobody treated his word as God’s word!

  • Paul is not Christ. He, like us, is a corrupt human being.

  • He once was the chief persecutor of God.

  • What he said is man’s word. It’s not the truth.

  • Amen! Yeah.

  • Paul’s word is not the truth. (Amen!) Paul was just a man.

  • How can his word be the truth?

  • It doesn’t make sense.

  • My co-workers,

  • the fact that Paul’s words were recorded in the Holy Bible

  • means that they were God’s inspiration,

  • God’s words, and the truth.

  • Amen!

  • Right! Why else would Paul’s words be recorded in the Holy Bible?

  • Right!

  • How do we know that

  • all the words in the Bible are God’s words?

  • I don’t want to hear any more.

  • Exactly.

  • Brothers and sisters, does that mean

  • that everything recorded in the Bible is inspired by God?

  • And that it is the word of God?

  • The words of Satan and of the Pharisees

  • are also recorded in the Bible.

  • Are we going to say that they were also inspired by God?

  • Or that they are also the truth? (Mmm.)

  • You say that all that is recorded in the Bible

  • is the truth and is God’s word.

  • That’s wrong! A fallacy! That’s profaning what God says!

  • Amen!

  • That’s right! The Bible includes

  • what was said by humans and Satan

  • and they’re not the truth.

  • It’s only God’s word that is the truth!

  • Then why would Paul’s words be written in the Bible?

  • Brother, the Bible was compiled by man,

  • not by our Lord Jesus,

  • nor was its compilation instructed by the Holy Spirit.

  • Paul’s letters being compiled into the Bible

  • were a human compilation out of human will.

  • Amen!

  • Oh, yes, of course. Paul was just a man.

  • The Bible was compiled by man, not by God. This is not Christ’s words.

  • Guoyi, dinner time!

  • OK!

  • Guoyi.

  • Mmm!

  • About today’s meeting,

  • I feel that what Brother Wu and Guoming said make sense.

  • Sense? What sense?

  • We believe in the Lord

  • and we should strive according to our Lord Jesus’ word.

  • If we follow what Paul said, I don’t think that’s right.

  • The Lord Jesus’ word is authority, and Paul’s word is not.

  • Why do you always exalt Paul’s word?

  • The word of Lord Jesus is authority,

  • but what Paul said isn’t wrong.

  • Paul worked for the Lord all his life,

  • and he suffered a great deal.

  • For over two thousand years,

  • Paul has been the model for all Christians, hasn’t he?

  • Is it wrong to try to live like Paul?

  • How does what Paul said go against the truth?

  • Why are you so stubborn?

  • Lord Jesus said only he who does the will of the heavenly Father

  • will enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Can you promise that anyone who follows Paul’s word will enter?

  • You are the elder of the church.

  • If you go down the wrong path, you would be a blind guide.

  • If you mislead the brothers and sisters,

  • that would be a terrible sin!

  • You’re saying that I’m leading blindly?

  • For over twenty years, I have been studying the Bible,

  • spreading the gospel, establishing churches,

  • and shepherding the flock.

  • Isn’t that doing the will of our heavenly Father?

  • It just can’t be wrong to lead the believers in this way.

  • Why do you keep opposing me?

  • You’re a grown man, yet you throw a tantrum?

  • After just two sentences

  • you’re throwing your chopsticks and bowl.

  • What are you trying to prove?

  • Are you eating or not? Not eating? Forget it!

  • Save it! Such a weak person!

  • Brother Li,

  • you accepted the “Eastern Lightning” of your own accord.

  • Isn’t this leaving the straight and narrow?

  • How can you answer to our Lord?

  • Brother Li, we should be responsible for our own lives!

  • Whatever happens, we cannot leave the Lord’s way.

  • Brother Fan, Brother Lang, I’ll listen to you.

  • I’ll drop contact with them.

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Don’t receive the “Eastern Lightning” followers any more.

  • Do you know the consequences of this?

  • We must hold fast to the word given to us by our Lord Jesus.

  • Anyone saying our Lord has already come,

  • is quite simply a heretic. You must never embrace it again.

  • They are misleading people. Never deal with them again!

  • Alright. If they come again,

  • I’ll no longer receive them or listen to them.

  • Now that’s right!

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Brother Fan, I’ll listen to you.

  • Whatever they say, I won’t believe them. I promise.

  • Brother Fan, don’t worry.

  • I’ll return the book to them tomorrow.

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Next time, the church will recommend and send out books.

  • Don’t read other books,

  • unless you have permission from the church.

  • OK!

  • Fan Guoyi, Brother Wu has served the Lord for many years.

  • He’s upright.

  • How can you dismiss him from the church?

  • He did things without consulting me.

  • He privately embraced the “Eastern Lightning.”

  • How can I not dismiss him?

  • And he did it behind my back. How could he?

  • That was very arrogant of you!

  • He believes in the Lord and not you.

  • Don’t you talk about love?

  • Don’t you talk about being long-suffering?

  • Don’t you often say that you’re the Lord’s faithful servant?

  • Where’s your love for the brothers and sisters?

  • Why don’t you help him understand the truth

  • instead of driving him away?

  • Do you deserve to be called the Lord’s servant?

  • Have love towards him?

  • Not only did he accept the “Eastern Lightning,”

  • but he stole so many of our good sheep.

  • I built this church up through so much hardship.

  • I should let him destroy it?

  • He dared to bring in people to steal my sheep.

  • I had to dismiss him!

  • I’m faithful to the Lord, protecting the flock.

  • That’s just so shameless of you, Fan Guoyi!

  • Which sheep belongs to you?

  • Which church belongs to you?

  • It’s all the Lord’s!

  • You rally under the banner of protecting the sheep,

  • but do you think I don’t know what you’re truly thinking?

  • You’re driving them out

  • only to protect your position and reputation.

  • Fan Guoyi, do you really think you’re a true believer?

  • Why are you always seeking after position

  • instead of following the Lord’s word?

  • Hu Qinjuan, why are you always opposing me?

  • I’m telling you, in this church, what I say counts.

  • I will dismiss whomever I want.

  • You’re speaking out of turn.

  • This is not your place. Be quiet!

  • Oh, Lord! Please save Guoyi!

  • What’s the matter with him? Oh Lord…

  • In every instance, Qinjuan has been exposing me.

  • In fact, everything she said is true!

  • Dismissing the brothers and sisters

  • isn’t in line with the Lord’s heart.

  • I don’t have any truth inside me.

  • Seeing the brothers and sisters who pursue more actively

  • left to believe in the “Eastern Lightning,”

  • I’m unable to talk them out of it in any way.

  • O Lord! Can there be truth in the “Eastern Lightning”?

  • Before, I knew that only those

  • who do the will of the heavenly Father

  • can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • But how exactly to attain that,

  • I never had any way to go about it.

  • Thank God! Now I finally understand

  • man must experience God’s end-time judgment

  • before he can do the will of the heavenly Father.

  • Yes, these days I’ve been listening to your fellowship.

  • I understand more now than in ten years of believing in the Lord.

  • Thank God!

  • Thank God so much!

  • Thank God!

  • Having read the words of Almighty God, I finally understand,

  • if not for God’s end-time judgment and purification by His word,

  • we humans corrupted to the core

  • would never be holy and enter the kingdom of God!

  • That’s right.

  • When man has his corrupt disposition resolved

  • and no longer sins and opposes God;

  • when he can truly submit to God,

  • worship Him and be compatible with Him,

  • he is one who does the will of God, and who has been saved!

  • Ah! Luping.

  • Could you find time to talk to my elder brother and his wife

  • about God’s end-time work?

  • Certainly! Let’s go tomorrow!

  • Hmm, good, then we’ll do that.

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • concerning who can enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • The Lord Jesus’ word tells us clearly that

  • only those who do the will of the heavenly Father

  • can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • What exactly does it mean

  • to do the will of the heavenly Father?

  • We can set aside all things

  • to spread the gospel and shepherd the church.

  • Such toil and labor is doing the will of our heavenly Father.

  • Amen!

  • Is there any wrong in the way we carry this out?

  • Not at all!

  • We spread the gospel, and watch over the Lord’s church.

  • That’s doing the will of our heavenly Father!

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • we can spread the Lord’s gospel and toil and labor,

  • but this does not mean

  • we’re doing the will of our heavenly Father.

  • Truly doing the heavenly Father’s will

  • is following His words and commandments,

  • and doing our duty according to His requirements.

  • Doing the heavenly Father’s will means

  • following and practicing what the Lord Jesus currently says.

  • This is the most basic principle.

  • If we do not focus on obeying the Lord Jesus’ words,

  • but on obeying man’s words in the Bible,

  • that is not doing the heavenly Father’s will.

  • Doing the will of God is following the word of God.

  • If people always exalt the apostles’ word in the Bible

  • and not the word of the Lord Jesus,

  • then they are not doing God’s will but are opposing God.

  • People who do the will of God will submit to

  • and practice whatever He says or does.

  • They can accept God’s commission and testify Him,

  • and no longer rebel against or resist Him.

  • Such people are the holy ones.

  • For example, Abraham. He was able to listen to God,

  • sincerely willing to give his only beloved son back to God.

  • Because of his absolute obedience,

  • God blessed his descendants to be a great nation.

  • Another example, Job feared God and kept away from evil.

  • Even when tested with the loss of his possessions and children,

  • he would rather curse himself than murmur against God.

  • He still praised Jehovah’s holy name.

  • So in the eyes of God, he was perfect.

  • There’s also Peter.

  • He followed the Lord Jesus all his life,

  • thirsting and seeking after the truth.

  • After he received the Lord’s commission,

  • he abided by the Lord’s will and requirements

  • to shepherd the church,

  • finally submitting even to death,

  • and loving God to the utmost.

  • They were all people who obeyed and feared God.

  • Such people are those who truly do the will of the heavenly Father.

  • If toil and labor is all there is to

  • doing the heavenly Father’s will,

  • then why did the Pharisees travel over land and sea

  • spreading the gospel, toiling and laboring

  • only to receive the condemnation and curse of the Lord Jesus?

  • That’s because they believed in God

  • but were not walking in His way.

  • When the Lord Jesus came for His new work,

  • not only did they not embrace Him,

  • but they instigated the common believers

  • to wildly condemn and oppose Him,

  • even setting up false witnesses to frame Him.

  • All that they did was to depart from the Lord’s way

  • and make an enemy with Jesus.

  • Even if they outwardly suffered a lot or did much work,

  • how can they be said

  • to be doing the will of the heavenly Father?

  • Based on that, people who only toil and labor outwardly

  • but do not carry out the words of the Lord,

  • are not followers of the heavenly Father’s will.

  • Exactly, like Abraham and Job,

  • people who submit to God,

  • listen to His word and witness for the Lord,

  • are those who do the Father’s will

  • and can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • If we measure by these standards,

  • then there aren’t many people

  • who are truly doing the will of the heavenly Father.

  • The Pharisees did not do God’s will but opposed Lord Jesus.

  • What does that have to do with us?

  • Now we believe in the Lord Jesus.

  • We suffer a lot and sacrifice all to preach His name.

  • That means we’re already holy.

  • I ask you, isn’t this doing God’s will?

  • Absolutely. We fervently work for the Lord.

  • And we’ll spend anything.

  • We are doing the heavenly Father’s will.

  • Our Lord will surely bring us into the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • although people can suffer and sacrifice

  • for spreading the name of the Lord,

  • it’s undeniable that they still often sin.

  • That people sin shows that they still belong to Satan,

  • that they are filthy and corrupt,

  • and that they can still resist and betray God.

  • This proves no man is truly pure.

  • If they take power,

  • they can still oppose God and build separate kingdoms.

  • This is proof that no one has been truly purified to become holy.

  • How could those who resist God

  • be qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • People can sacrifice for the Lord, spread the gospel,

  • build churches, and support believers.

  • These are all their good behaviors.

  • If their good behaviors are done for loving God,

  • for truly working for God,

  • and for obeying and satisfying God,

  • without any thought of personal gain,

  • these are truly good deeds

  • that will be remembered and be blessed by God.

  • But if their good behaviors are done for an exchange,

  • for satisfying fleshly needs,

  • or entering the kingdom of heaven and getting rewards,

  • then these good behaviors are merely deceptive in nature,

  • and are against God!

  • Can these deceptive behaviors

  • claim to be following the heavenly Father’s will?

  • Can they claim to be holy?

  • Absolutely not!

  • Because these good behaviors are driven by their sinful nature,

  • and are tokens of exchange for privilege.

  • It shows that there is too much mingled in their hearts.

  • How could such people

  • have a heart that truly loves God and obeys God?

  • People are driven and controlled by their sinful nature.

  • When God’s work and words clash with their views,

  • they casually judge God, deny God, and condemn God.

  • When God puts them through trials,

  • they misunderstand God, complain against God, and betray God.

  • While people believe in God, they worship and follow man,

  • and listen to man before God.

  • When serving God, they do it arbitrarily,

  • raise and testify themselves, making an enemy of God.

  • They are bound and controlled by their sinful nature,

  • and given power,

  • they’ll surely oppose God and build separate kingdoms.

  • Just like the chief priests, scribes,

  • and Pharisees in the religious world,

  • when the Lord Jesus came to do His work,

  • they scrambled to condemn and resist Him

  • to protect their own positions,

  • and kept His salvation from ever being accepted

  • into the religious world.

  • Is that not building a separate kingdom in opposition to God?

  • So for all those who labor and display good behaviors outwardly,

  • if they haven’t dealt with their sinful nature,

  • if their satanic disposition within is not purified,

  • no matter how much they suffer or how great the work they do,

  • how can such people become followers of God’s will?

  • Those who follow God’s will are surely those

  • who obey God absolutely,

  • whose hearts are in accordance with God’s heart,

  • and who would never rebel or go against God.

  • It is they who are qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • and inherit God’s promises.

  • What you say here makes sense,

  • but the apostle Paul said:

  • Amen!

  • And so, if we act according to Paul’s words,

  • we are following the will of God,

  • and will enter the kingdom of heaven and be rewarded.

  • Amen!

  • Those were the words of Brother Paul.

  • How could it be that Brother Paul was mistaken?

  • Do as Brother Paul did, and toil to do good works.

  • That is the key by which we enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • as to who may enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • This fully shows the essence of God’s righteousness and holiness.

  • The filthy, corrupt man of Satan

  • can’t enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • But Paul said he fought a good fight,

  • and finished his course, and kept the faith,

  • so he could enter the kingdom of heaven and be rewarded.

  • According to Paul, if people simply work hard for the Lord,

  • they can enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • even if they don’t follow God’s word and are not holy.

  • Then how should God’s righteousness and holiness be known?

  • In saying that, Paul is totally hostile to God.

  • He’s denying the words of Lord Jesus,

  • and is disrupting and disturbing God’s work.

  • So, is simply fighting a good fight and finishing the course

  • following the heavenly Father’s will?

  • Is simply holding on to the name of Lord Jesus

  • without betraying the Lord

  • following the heavenly Father’s will?

  • Following the heavenly Father’s will is following God’s words,

  • His commandments, and His instructions.

  • If men don’t act according to the Lord’s word,

  • their labor has nothing to do with

  • “doing the will of the Father which is in heaven.”

  • Paul’s words were born purely of his own notions and imagination,

  • and were mixed with his own intents and ideas.

  • This is enough to show

  • that Paul was not really doing the heavenly Father’s will.

  • If he were a man who did God’s will,

  • why did he not teach the believers

  • to follow the words of Lord Jesus?

  • Why did he preach notions that betrayed the words of Lord Jesus

  • and went directly against His teachings?

  • He used his own absurd views to mislead and deceive others,

  • obstructing others from walking the way of Lord Jesus,

  • and making His word hollow.

  • He asked men to follow him, and betray the Lord.

  • This shows us that Paul was not a seeker of truth

  • or a follower of God’s will.

  • Brothers and sisters, the words of Lord Jesus are our guide

  • to entering the kingdom of heaven,

  • because He is the King of the kingdom of heaven,

  • and only His words are the truth, and the authority.

  • Only the Lord Jesus can decide who can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Paul was only an apostle who spread the gospel.

  • He was not Christ, and his words are not the truth,

  • so what he said doesn’t count.

  • Only the Lord Jesus could decide

  • if he himself would enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • How could Paul judge whether others would be qualified to enter?

  • If we compare Paul’s words with those of the Lord Jesus,

  • the words of the Lord Jesus have authority.

  • His words are the truth.

  • Paul’s words have no authority and are not the truth.

  • Paul’s words came from his human imagination,

  • not from the Holy Spirit.

  • If they had been truly inspired by the Holy Spirit,

  • how could they clash with the Lord’s words?

  • Hmm. Using Paul’s words as a guide

  • to enter the kingdom of heaven

  • is straying from the Lord’s way!

  • You all say Brother Paul’s words aren’t the truth.

  • If that’s so, why are his words in the Bible?

  • Since Paul’s words are in the Holy Bible,

  • they are inspired by God, and they represent God’s words,

  • words that we have to pursue!

  • Amen!

  • Brother Paul’s words are recorded in the Bible.

  • That makes them the words of God.

  • Exactly, all of Christianity acknowledges this!

  • No one would dare deny it!

  • Amen!

  • We have been pursuing according to the apostle Paul’s words;

  • are we wrong to do so? Humph!

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • although Paul’s words are indeed in the Bible,

  • that does not represent they are God’s words.

  • The Bible was composed by men, not by Jehovah God Himself,

  • nor was it composed by the Lord Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

  • How could something composed by men be perfect?

  • In the Bible, the words of Jehovah,

  • the words He told His prophets,

  • and the words of the Lord Jesus are God’s words.

  • God has never testified

  • that the words of the apostles represent His words,

  • nor has God testified

  • that the words of the apostles are inspired by Him.

  • “All scripture is given by inspiration of God”

  • is the word of Paul.

  • The Holy Spirit never testified to that,

  • nor did the Lord Jesus.

  • Only Paul himself spoke those words,

  • so his words are unfounded!

  • In their time,

  • the apostles wrote letters to different churches.

  • And people would say that

  • these were the words of Brother Paul or Brother Peter.

  • They all knew that the apostles’ letters were indeed the words of men.

  • None of them would treat these letters as the words of God.

  • That is a historical fact. No one can deny it!

  • In the Age of Grace, only the Lord Jesus was God incarnate,

  • and only He could express God’s word.

  • The apostles were men used by the Lord,

  • and when they spoke, they spoke the words of man.

  • Their words only represented

  • their own understanding and experience of God’s words.

  • Even if some were inspired by the Holy Spirit,

  • but they were not God’s words.

  • Even Paul himself didn’t dare claim that

  • his words were God’s words or the inspiration of God,

  • nor did he claim to speak for the Lord Jesus.

  • So, if we try to claim that Paul’s words are also God’s words,

  • and obey them as we obey God’s word

  • because they are in the Bible,

  • we are making a mistake!

  • Yes.

  • How can they say it’s a mistake?

  • That’s really wrong.

  • I never have doubts about Paul’s words.

  • How can we take them as God’s word?

  • The Bible was put together by men, not by God.

  • Why didn’t we realize this fact?

  • This is where we made our mistake.

  • That’s right. In the time of the apostles,

  • people wouldn’t treat Paul’s words as the words of the Lord Jesus.

  • You are right. Why didn’t we think of that?

  • That’s how it was in history.

  • It must have been that way!

  • Right. For almost 2000 years,

  • people all treat Paul’s words as God’s words.

  • How could we have been so ignorant?!

  • We thought Paul’s words were the words of God

  • just because they were in the Bible.

  • That way of thinking must be mistaken.

  • It goes against history.

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • why do people worship the Bible, and blindly trust it?

  • Because they don’t know it was composed by men

  • which is not according to God’s will.

  • So they place blind faith in it, and worship it,

  • taking every word of it as God’s word.

  • That goes against historical fact,

  • and comes from human ignorance.

  • Let’s look at what Almighty God says:

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • now we can see which words are indeed the words of God,

  • and which are the words of men!

  • In the past, we trusted and worshipped the Bible too much!

  • We believed the Bible was God’s inspiration

  • and that it was His word,

  • and we thought it was composed by God,

  • but that was a terrible mistake.

  • Without truth, men are easily deceived.

  • We don’t know how to tell God’s words from the words of men,

  • and insist on calling man’s words the words of God,

  • that is simply grave ignorance!

  • Paul was merely a servant sent by God.

  • He was not God incarnate.

  • He could never express the words of God.

  • If men have put Paul’s words on par with God’s words,

  • then they are seriously offending God’s disposition!

  • For so long our belief in the Lord

  • was actually shaped by Paul’s words,

  • and so were our works.

  • We treated Paul’s words as God’s words,

  • and ignored the words of Lord Jesus.

  • Now I finally understand.

  • We were following a man and worshiping a man.

  • Yes, we mistook Paul for a God-man.

  • Paul occupied the most space in our hearts.

  • We had little room left for the Lord Jesus.

  • How is that believing in the Lord? That’s believing in Paul!

  • In the past, we just blindly trusted and worshiped Paul,

  • and we mistook his words for the words of God.

  • We were ignorant fools!

  • We were following a man, letting a man guide us.

  • That isn’t believing in the Lord!

  • Yes, that’s following a man and worshiping a man.

  • How could our faith in the Lord not be misguided?

  • We believed according to Paul’s teachings.

  • How could we become followers of God’s will?

  • Brother Paul’s words may not be the words of God,

  • but after he was called,

  • he spent his life preaching and suffering for the Lord.

  • He traveled so far,

  • and labored so hard to establish the Lord’s churches.

  • His contributions to the church are plain for all to see!

  • Amen!

  • His faith in the Lord and his sufferings are something

  • that all Christians should be emulating!

  • Will you go so far as to deny that?

  • Exactly. After he was shone by the light,

  • he dedicated his life to the Lord’s work.

  • Every Christian recognizes that fact.

  • Do you dare to deny it now?

  • The Lord Jesus Himself appeared to Paul

  • and made him an apostle.

  • He did so much for the Lord,

  • and he risked his life so many times,

  • and suffered so much persecution.

  • Come on! Don’t you know about that?

  • Brothers and sisters, most people only see in Paul’s letters

  • the fact that he suffered for his preaching,

  • but they don’t really understand his nature and substance.

  • We all know that while Jesus was working,

  • Paul was the chief persecutor

  • who hated the truth and resisted the Lord Jesus.

  • Even Paul himself didn’t dare deny that.

  • The Lord Jesus preached so many sermons,

  • and performed so many miracles.

  • Why did Paul still hate Him and resist Him?

  • Why was he obsessed with catching and persecuting His disciples?

  • This shows us that Paul, by his nature and substance,

  • hated the truth and hated God.

  • Why did he protect the interests of the chief priests

  • and the Pharisees so fiercely?

  • And why was he so loyal to Judaism?

  • This shows us that he was only concerned with his position,

  • not with God.

  • For a higher position,

  • he would rather resist the true God and persecute the believers.

  • He would pay any price to gain rewards within Judaism.

  • What kind of a man is this? It isn’t hard to decipher.

  • Brothers and sisters, let’s all think about it.

  • Against what backdrop was Paul sent forth

  • as an apostle to preach the gospel?

  • While he was engaged

  • in his mad pursuit of the Lord Jesus’ disciples,

  • the Lord had to appear to him in the sky,

  • blinded him with a great light and brought him to his knees.

  • The Lord did not appear to Paul because of his devotion, did He?

  • He appeared in order to punish Paul. Paul forced His hand.

  • He was forced to labor and suffer for Him

  • because the Lord Jesus had appeared to him.

  • And his goal was penance.

  • He saw that the Lord was almighty,

  • that He could blind him, and make him kneel before Him.

  • He agreed to sacrifice for the Lord

  • because he feared being sent to hell as punishment.

  • If the Lord Jesus had not appeared to him,

  • based on his devilish nature of savagely resisting Lord Jesus,

  • would he have followed the Lord and labored for Him?

  • Absolutely not!

  • And so, Paul’s faith in the Lord Jesus was not genuine,

  • and his suffering and laboring was not done willingly.

  • He was forced. He had no choice.

  • Viewed this way,

  • Paul’s suffering and working for the Lord weren’t done willingly!

  • They weren’t out of true devotion to the Lord!

  • We thought of him as an example to follow.

  • Doesn’t that mean that we are resisting the Lord like Paul?

  • We’ve been so blind, haven’t we?

  • Before we only saw Paul’s outward suffering,

  • but never pondered his true nature.

  • We were deceived by him!

  • This dissection about Paul today is backed up by facts.

  • If we look at Paul’s nature,

  • and then at all he said and how he suffered,

  • we see a lot of impurity, and too much falseness.

  • He really deceived us!

  • I can’t agree with that at all!

  • Even if Brother Paul wasn’t perfect,

  • the Lord has forgiven his past sins.

  • He worked for the Lord many years.

  • No man suffered more and paid a higher price.

  • That must have been approved by the Lord.

  • Brother Paul is still an example to follow!

  • That’s right. Brother Paul was the greatest apostle.

  • He suffered the most and did the most to spread the Lord’s name.

  • He is an example for all Christians.

  • If Brother Paul couldn’t be approved by God,

  • what man could gain God’s approval?

  • Brother, dare we say Paul’s suffering must be approved by God?

  • Do we know the intents and the goals behind his suffering?

  • I think Paul’s suffering was purely penance. It was forced,

  • and it was to gain the crown and the rewards.

  • How could the Lord accept such suffering?

  • The Lord is righteous and sees into the hearts of men.

  • Men didn’t see through Paul, but God saw through him.

  • So should people not believe that God is righteous?

  • Why do men praise and worship Paul

  • and hold him up as an example?

  • Isn’t that resisting Lord Jesus?

  • Why do people try to justify Paul’s actions?

  • What does that say?

  • Are they speaking for the Lord Jesus?

  • Do they have the true faith in the Lord?

  • Paul’s laboring and suffering for the Lord happened unwillingly,

  • we all admit that,

  • but you’re saying that

  • in essence Paul hated the truth and opposed God.

  • I don’t agree.

  • What do you base that claim on?

  • Right, why do you claim that

  • Brother Paul hated the truth and resisted God?

  • Explain yourselves!

  • That’s right!

  • You say Paul hated the truth.

  • We want an explanation.

  • How did Paul hate the truth? Where is your proof?

  • Show us proof!

  • Brothers, sisters,

  • as to whether or not Paul hated the truth and opposed God,

  • there are provable facts.

  • While the Lord Jesus worked among men,

  • He expressed many truths

  • and performed many miracles that shocked all of Judea.

  • With Paul’s qualities, he should have recognized

  • what the Lord Jesus did came from God.

  • But Paul never verified it or sought the way of the Lord Jesus.

  • He preached everywhere and publicly opposed the Lord Jesus.

  • When the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross,

  • the sky turned black, the Earth shook,

  • and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

  • And the Lord Jesus appeared to people

  • for 40 days after resurrection.

  • These two greatest miracles shocked everybody in Judea,

  • and the disciples also performed many miracles

  • in the name of Lord Jesus.

  • Paul saw all of these things,

  • but still refused to admit that Lord Jesus was God,

  • and instead resisted Him more fiercely.

  • He asked for letters from the chief priests himself,

  • madly resisted, and persecuted the Lord Jesus’ disciples.

  • It seemed that he would have killed

  • all the followers of the Lord Jesus

  • and resisted Him to the death.

  • That is more than enough to prove

  • that Paul was a man who deliberately resisted God,

  • and devoted himself to disrupting God’s work.

  • He hated the truth and opposed God by nature and substance.

  • Or else, why would he have made an enemy of the Lord Jesus,

  • who came to express the truth?

  • Let’s look at Almighty God’s exposure

  • about Paul’s nature and substance.

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • the words of Almighty God

  • have revealed Paul’s nature so thoroughly!

  • Paul was a man who deliberately resisted Christ

  • and made an enemy of God.

  • And Paul never actually knew the Lord Jesus.

  • His savage resistance to Lord Jesus

  • was due to his hatred of God

  • and of the truth expressed by the Lord Jesus.

  • Viewed in this way, Paul truly hated the truth

  • and resisted God by nature and substance.

  • Yes, that’s right.

  • Paul’s resistance to the Lord Jesus

  • before the light shone on him was abominable.

  • This is proof of Paul’s malicious nature.

  • He was ten times worse than the Pharisees

  • who resisted the Lord Jesus!

  • A man like that could never have loved the truth.

  • If someone who loved the truth heard the teachings of Lord Jesus,

  • how could he hate and resist them?

  • These facts are enough to prove

  • that Paul hated God and hated the truth.

  • His nature and his substance was exactly that of an antichrist!

  • Lord Jesus used a man like this to do the service.

  • This is proof of His almightiness.

  • The facts regarding Paul’s resistance to the Lord

  • are clearly explained in the Bible.

  • Why didn’t we see what Paul really was?

  • We’ve been so ignorant!

  • From the evil deeds by which Paul resisted the Lord Jesus,

  • it’s evident that Paul’s nature is that of the antichrist!

  • These words revealed Paul’s nature so thoroughly.

  • They truly come from God. I’ve never heard them before.

  • We really shouldn’t worship men so carelessly!

  • The sins you speak of were all committed

  • before Paul was called into God’s service,

  • but after he saw the light,

  • he preached the Lord’s gospel everywhere,

  • and wrote so many letters to support the believers.

  • That proves that Paul already repented.

  • Amen!

  • You cannot judge Paul as an enemy of the Lord Jesus

  • based on his actions before he turned to the Lord!

  • Amen!

  • To spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus,

  • Paul traveled half of Europe.

  • He established countless churches,

  • and led countless people to the Lord’s salvation.

  • Is that not enough to show that he truly repented?

  • Amen!

  • You can’t say Paul is a man who resists God

  • based on what he did before his calling.

  • That is unfair to Brother Paul.

  • We don’t accept your opinions!

  • We don’t!

  • Brothers and sisters, after Paul saw the light,

  • he preached for many years, and wrote many letters,

  • but that doesn’t actually prove that he truly repented.

  • Within his letters,

  • we don’t see any real reflection upon or even awareness

  • of his evil deeds in resisting the Lord Jesus

  • or arresting His disciples.

  • He merely admitted that he was a chief sinner.

  • He never spoke about his nature and substance,

  • and he never dissected for what purpose and reason

  • he resisted the Lord Jesus.

  • There wasn’t a single word from him on those matters.

  • Does that sound like someone who truly repented?

  • Why did Paul answer the calling of Lord Jesus and work for Him?

  • The truth is, he was completely unwilling.

  • He knew that if he didn’t agree,

  • he would be punished, and he would die.

  • The suffering he underwent to preach the gospel was merely penance.

  • Can a man merely paying for his sins have true repentance?

  • Also, we can clearly see from reading Paul’s letters

  • that within his preaching,

  • he never exalted or testified Jesus.

  • He never testified how the Lord Jesus saved people,

  • supplied people, and led people,

  • and he never testified that the Lord Jesus is the truth,

  • the way, and the life,

  • that He is God’s appearance,

  • God become flesh to do His own work.

  • Paul never testified to the loveliness of the Lord Jesus,

  • and never testified to the suffering and humiliation

  • Lord Jesus bore to save man.

  • He never preached of or testified to

  • the whole truth the Lord Jesus expressed,

  • or the words He spoke,

  • nor did he exhort believers to obey the words of the Lord Jesus,

  • to abide by the whole truth expressed by Him

  • to follow Him, serve Him, and testify Him;

  • nor did he fellowship about

  • the substance of the work of the Lord Jesus and the fruits of it,

  • or about how to follow the heavenly Father’s will

  • to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Instead he willfully explained the work of the Lord Jesus,

  • and misinterpreted His words.

  • Many of the things he said gravely disrupted and disturbed

  • the work of God in the Age of Grace.

  • Can any of that prove he truly repented?

  • The work of Paul did not lead believers before the Lord Jesus

  • to experience His words or understand

  • that Lord Jesus is the appearance of God.

  • Instead he exalted and testified of himself,

  • led the believers before himself, and made them worship him.

  • Isn’t that exactly the way of the Pharisees?

  • These facts are more than enough to prove

  • that Paul never truly repented.

  • What they are saying are indeed facts!

  • Paul didn’t testify of the Lord Jesus’ words in his letters,

  • but he often testified about how much work he did,

  • or how much he suffered.

  • Isn’t that exalting himself to make others worship him?

  • It seems Paul was never truly repentant!

  • Mm. Without this fellowship,

  • we never would have understood this.

  • Indeed, we were deceived by Paul’s outward suffering.

  • Paul never exalted or testified the Lord Jesus.

  • About what you say, I don’t accept!

  • Brother Paul wrote so many letters.

  • Weren’t they all testifying Lord Jesus?

  • Brothers and sisters, it’s true that Paul wrote many letters,

  • but he never exalted or testified the Lord Jesus.

  • Even when the Lord Jesus was mentioned,

  • Paul was testifying of himself in using the name of Christ.

  • For example, he often said in his letters

  • “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.”

  • What Paul meant by that

  • was that he was made an apostle of Christ by God’s will.

  • Not by the will of Lord Jesus.

  • But did God in heaven call Paul?

  • No! It was the Lord Jesus who called.

  • The Lord Jesus did not call Paul in the identity of God;

  • He called Paul as Christ.

  • But Paul said he was an apostle “by the will of God.”

  • He did not believe the Lord Jesus Christ and God are one.

  • In Paul’s letters,

  • God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are always separate.

  • He believed that God is God, and Christ is Christ,

  • that God is higher than Christ,

  • and the heavenly Father is the greatest.

  • So, Paul believed in the God in heaven,

  • not in the incarnate Christ.

  • Paul had no knowledge of the Lord Jesus,

  • so he never exalted the Lord Jesus Christ as God.

  • He never exalted or testified

  • the words of Jesus Christ were God’s words.

  • He never asked people to magnify Lord Jesus in their heart.

  • Viewed in this way, did Paul really believe in Christ?

  • Was he following Christ, or testifying Christ?

  • No!

  • The nature of Paul’s such doings was grave.

  • According to the word of the apostle John:

  • This passage of Scripture tells us

  • those who do not believe

  • that God becomes incarnate are antichrists.

  • Paul only believed in the God in heaven,

  • but he didn’t truly believe in Christ.

  • That means that he was a non-believer in the work of Jesus Christ!

  • Waving the flag of “an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,”

  • Paul exalted and upraised himself in all aspects,

  • always attempting to stand equal with the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • This is sufficient proof of Paul’s wild ambition.

  • He had not the slightest reverence or obedience to the Lord Jesus.

  • His nature as a hater of truth

  • and resister of God didn’t change at all.

  • This is even more proof that he never truly repented.

  • Hmm. Yes, it’s true that Paul often started his letters with:

  • “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.”

  • In doing so, Paul was separating Jesus Christ and God.

  • Paul did not understand that Jesus Christ is God Himself!

  • From this, we can see that Paul didn’t know Jesus Christ,

  • making him even less capable of testifying Him!

  • Paul didn’t understand that

  • Jesus Christ is God appearing in the flesh.

  • He separated Jesus Christ and God. That is a serious problem!

  • And without this fellowship, we wouldn’t have known it!

  • Yes, in all his years of preaching,

  • Paul never preached or testified of the words of Lord Jesus,

  • and he never fellowshipped with the churches

  • about the truth the Lord Jesus expressed.

  • We really wonder how many of the words

  • of the Lord Jesus were in Paul’s heart.

  • Based on that, we can be certain

  • that Paul wasn’t a man who pursued the truth,

  • because he didn’t put experiencing the words of Lord Jesus first.

  • He didn’t practice those words.

  • He relied on gifts, man’s actions and deeds,

  • man’s knowledge and capabilities, to spread the gospel.

  • How could he be one who pursues the truth?

  • No wonder he had no knowledge of,

  • no true love for, and no true obedience to Jesus.

  • After many years of working, his old nature remained unchanged.

  • Instead, he became more arrogant and mercenary.

  • He worked and suffered to make people emulate and worship him,

  • and to build capital to engage in dealings with God.

  • It’s just like what Paul himself said,

  • Those words completely reveal

  • what Paul hoped to gain from his years of work.

  • He just wanted rewards, and a crown.

  • Paul never pursued the truth

  • or transformation in his disposition.

  • The goals he pursued and his satanic nature never altered.

  • His way was exactly the way of the Pharisees.

  • These are all sufficient to prove that Paul never truly repented.

  • The Lord Jesus called Paul to give him a chance to repent,

  • and used him to spread the gospel.

  • The Lord Jesus conquered Paul who had a devilish nature.

  • This shows us His almightiness,

  • and shows us that God can put any man into service for His work.

  • Their exploration into Paul’s nature,

  • which was hostile to the truth and resistant to God,

  • is very thorough.

  • No matter how we look at it, Paul never truly repented.

  • I’ve walked Paul’s way and served the Lord for more than 20 years.

  • How have I been wrong?

  • O Lord, what way am I to walk now?

  • You say Paul never truly repented,

  • but Paul said he was Christ as he lived.

  • When we emulate him, we’re emulating Christ.

  • That can’t be wrong!

  • Amen!

  • The apostles’ letters in the Bible are all God’s words,

  • and are inspired by God,

  • so their words carry the same weight as those of Lord Jesus,

  • and they were all Christ as they lived!

  • Jesus Christ is the incarnate Christ,

  • and the apostles, as they lived, were also Christ.

  • Both of them are Christ!

  • Amen!

  • Sister Lyu,

  • when did we ever say all of the apostles were Christ?

  • How can you even say that?

  • Didn’t we say the apostles’ letters were all the word of God?

  • If the apostles weren’t Christ,

  • how can their words then be the words of God?

  • Sister Lyu, how can you be so confused?

  • Today, these two brothers from the Church of Almighty God

  • have made themselves so clear!

  • Not the whole Bible is inspired by God.

  • The apostles’ letters are the words of men,

  • not the words of God.

  • The apostles were not Christ!

  • But Paul said he was Christ as he lived. Explain that!

  • Hey, Sister Lyu, don’t get angry.

  • Sit down and say what you have to say. It’s okay.

  • Brothers and sisters, Paul said he was Christ as he lived,

  • but this word was his own.

  • The Holy Spirit didn’t testify to that,

  • nor did Lord Jesus say such a thing.

  • Neither did other apostles testify that Paul was Christ as he lived.

  • There’s no way to make that assertion, based on Paul’s words!

  • None of the ancient saints and prophets dared claim

  • they were Christ as they lived.

  • Only Paul dared to say it.

  • From this we can see his unreasonable arrogance.

  • In the Age of Grace,

  • the Holy Spirit testified the Lord Jesus as Christ.

  • The redemptive work of the Lord Jesus,

  • the disposition He expressed, and all that He has and is

  • completely proved His identity as the Christ,

  • while Paul was the chief persecutor

  • who hated the truth and resisted God.

  • That he said he was Christ as he lived

  • proved he didn’t know Christ at all.

  • Brothers and sisters, then what actually is Christ?

  • And so for the answer, we can turn to the words of Almighty God.

  • From God’s words,

  • we can see that only God incarnate is called Christ.

  • Christ is God’s Spirit realized in the flesh.

  • Christ is the appearance of God,

  • and is God made flesh to do His own work.

  • So, Christ is God.

  • Christ can give man the truth, and provide man with life,

  • and can express God’s righteous disposition

  • and His working wisdom.

  • Christ is the holy, righteous God Himself.

  • The life of Christ is inborn,

  • Christ is born God incarnate.

  • No man can become Christ by practicing his faith in the Lord.

  • Born as Christ, He is Christ forever.

  • Not born as Christ, one can never become Christ.

  • No matter how people pursue the truth,

  • they can never become Christ.

  • The life of Christ is something that no created being

  • and non-created being can possess or achieve.

  • Paul said he was Christ as he lived,

  • but did he possess God’s disposition and all that He has and is?

  • Could he express the truth to save man?

  • If he possessed the life of Christ,

  • then why did he sin and resist Jesus?

  • Paul admitted himself that he was a chief sinner.

  • How can a chief sinner be Christ as he lived?

  • Isn’t this blasphemy?

  • Even if someone suffers and labors, can they become Christ?

  • Isn’t this a fallacy?

  • Paul was the chief persecutor who resisted Christ.

  • This is widely known.

  • Yet in his later years,

  • he testified that he was Christ as he lived,

  • in an attempt to take the place of Jesus Christ.

  • How could such a brood of Satan,

  • who rebelled against God at every step,

  • become Christ?

  • He claimed he was Christ as he lived.

  • It was nothing but a lie!

  • It’s an expansion of his satanic ambition!

  • And it fully exposed his attempt to be God.

  • He wanted to supplant Christ’s place in people’s hearts,

  • which makes his antichrist nature abundantly clear.

  • The path Paul walked was the path of an antichrist.

  • That’s indeed the fact!

  • Of course! How could I never have seen it before?

  • Paul is not who we should be following! This is not the way!

  • What they’re saying makes sense.

  • It seems that Paul’s claim

  • that he was Christ as he lived is indeed wrong.

  • Paul’s pursuit wasn’t after God’s heart, but…

  • but Paul suffered so much in his labor and ministry;

  • was all that suffering in vain?

  • O Lord…

  • Thank the Lord!

  • The Holy Spirit’s inspiration is in your fellowship today.

  • I understand what Christ is,

  • and I have learned about Paul’s substance.

  • I have learned so much today!

  • Paul is not Christ,

  • and his claim that he was Christ as he lived is so arrogant!

  • Yes! Christ is the appearance of God, and is God Himself.

  • No man can call himself Christ!

  • Paul dared to say that he was Christ as he lived.

  • He wanted to become God, to take the place of Lord Jesus!

  • Talk like that is very dangerous!

  • Yes!

  • Mmm.

  • I never thought Paul was so ambitious.

  • He even dared to say he was Christ as he lived.

  • Didn’t the archangel himself say such things?

  • That exposes his nature as an antichrist!

  • Right!

  • Yes, we’ve been so foolish!

  • Paul said so many absurd things, and we couldn’t discern them!

  • Today, if it hadn’t been for these two brothers’ fellowship

  • about Almighty God’s words,

  • which has helped us understand what Christ is,

  • and see through the true nature of Paul,

  • we would still be blinded

  • by Paul’s outward preaching and suffering!

  • Brother. Today these two brothers

  • from the Church of Almighty God fellowshipped a lot,

  • and you should have seen

  • that the substance of Paul is the same as the Pharisees.

  • The way Paul walked was the way of an antichrist.

  • If you continue your pursuit according to Paul’s words,

  • rather than follow the Lord’s way,

  • and accept all of Almighty God’s end-time word,

  • then you’ll be the same as Paul,

  • a Pharisee who served God yet resisted God.

  • How will you enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • All right, that’s enough. I believe the Lord is righteous.

  • I’ve served the Lord for more than 20 years.

  • I don’t believe the Lord will abandon me!

  • Brother, after all you’ve heard,

  • why are you still so stubborn about this?

  • Does hard working mean

  • you’re following the heavenly Father’s will?

  • If you refuse to reject Paul’s words,

  • and receive Almighty God’s way of truth in the last days,

  • you won’t enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • and will be finally punished for resisting God!

  • What gives you the right to lecture me?

  • I’ve served the Lord for years, and I know more than you!

  • You’re an apostate!

  • The Lord Jesus said he who does the heavenly Father’s will

  • can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • You’ve abandoned the way of Lord Jesus, and followed Paul,

  • and replaced His teachings with Paul’s words!

  • It is you who are the real apostate!

  • It is Paul who you worship. Paul is now your idol.

  • When Almighty God came and pushed down your idol,

  • you are unable to stand it!

  • You do not love the truth!

  • Fan Guoming, why do you always oppose my opinions,

  • and then stand against me?

  • Are you really my brother?

  • You’re not my brother. You are now my enemy!

  • You and I don’t walk the same path!

  • You see me as your enemy. You reject the truth!

  • The Pharisees are your brothers. You are a modern Pharisee!

  • You dare call me a Pharisee?

  • You’re expelled from the church now!

  • You are no longer part of the church!

  • You are banished from my church!

  • But I’ll still believe in God.

  • When Almighty God incarnate expresses the truth to save man,

  • if you refuse to accept, you are a Pharisee.

  • You’ve revealed yourself as a Pharisee!

  • You… Leave now! Never enter my home again!

  • Guoyi! ...

  • Fan Guoyi, you expelled Guoming from the church.

  • Is this how you follow the Lord’s teachings?

  • You are far too arbitrary!

  • It seems you are the ruler of the church,

  • expelling whoever you want.

  • Is there still a place for the Lord in your heart?

  • Is there a shred of fear for God?

  • Guoming is an apostate.

  • He betrayed Lord Jesus, so I must expel him!

  • And I won’t just expel him. I will draw a line between us.

  • He’s not my brother!

  • He’s an apostate? How can you say that?

  • Guoming’s fellowship was all about

  • how to do the heavenly Father’s will.

  • This fully conforms to the Lord’s way;

  • how can he be an apostate?

  • A wild accusation!

  • A wild accusation?

  • I’ve served the Lord for over 20 years.

  • Paul is always the example I follow.

  • But he … he said today that Paul hated the truth,

  • he made an enemy of God,

  • and that Paul was a hypocritical Pharisee.

  • You…

  • Paul is just an apostle, he is not God incarnate,

  • and his words are not the truth.

  • Why are you emulating Paul instead of emulating Christ?

  • I don’t understand you.

  • Why do you defend Paul left and right?

  • Why do you always exalt Paul instead of testifying Christ?

  • Do you really think Paul can save you? You’re being foolish!

  • You. … I can’t relate to you at all!

  • Oh Lord… Oh Lord…

  • O Lord! I’m lost right now. Please give me Your guidance.

  • O Lord! Do You never really approve of Paul?

  • For so many years, I’ve emulated Paul, my Lord,

  • and tried to pursue according to his words.

  • Have I been believing in God in the wrong way all this time?

  • O Lord! Is being saved through faith

  • enough to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • What does it mean to be saved?

  • What is entering the kingdom of heaven?

  • What kind of people can enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • O Lord! I don’t understand any of this.

  • I beg for Your inspiration. Please, show me the way forward!

  • O Lord…

  • Guoming, last time you talked about

  • salvation and entering the kingdom of heaven.

  • Your brother wasn’t able to accept it,

  • but to me, it’s in accordance with the truth,

  • and it sounds so right!

  • I’ve always wanted to understand these things,

  • so I made time to come over here today,

  • so we could discuss it some more.

  • Thank God!

  • Sister, Guoming and I had wanted to go to your house

  • to discuss this with you.

  • Sister, Almighty God’s end-time word has revealed every mystery.

  • All we must do is truly seek. God will inspire and lead us.

  • Yes.

  • Let’s read the words of Almighty God!

  • Okay.

  • Page 609…

  • Guoyi, I’ve been reading a lot of Almighty God’s words.

  • These words are what the Spirit says to the churches,

  • which are prophesied in Revelation.

  • The words of Almighty God

  • have revealed all the mysteries in the Bible.

  • What is being saved,

  • what is doing the will of the heavenly Father,

  • and how to be saved into the kingdom of heaven,

  • all these truths and mysteries are revealed.

  • This is the voice of God.

  • Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus.

  • Why not read the words of Almighty God,

  • consider them, and seek the truth?

  • Don’t mention the “Eastern Lightning” to me again.

  • I don’t want to hear about it.

  • Guoyi, why aren’t you seeking the truth at all?

  • Do you know the consequences if you go on believing like this?

  • You refuse to investigate it.

  • You prevent the flock from returning to Almighty God.

  • You are the ferocious tenant the Lord Jesus spoke of,

  • the evil servant. Don’t you know that?

  • Don’t think that you love the Lord

  • and do the heavenly Father’s will.

  • What you are doing now

  • is the same as what the Pharisees did, Guoyi.

  • You are condemning God, and resisting God’s work.

  • And if you still don’t repent,

  • you’ll end up just like the Pharisees, Guoyi.

  • I’m an evil servant? You say I’m a Pharisee?

  • In the past 20 years, how much have I suffered?

  • What price have I paid?

  • Isn’t that loving the Lord?

  • Isn’t that doing the heavenly Father’s will?

  • Is this how you express your love? How you show obedience?

  • You suffer and pay your price

  • so you can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • You do it for blessings, for a reward.

  • Your belief is tainted with selfishness.

  • That’s good behavior? Is it really so?

  • You want to use it to buy blessings into the kingdom of heaven.

  • You’re selfish and base!

  • You’re not doing the heavenly Father’s will!

  • You’re a hypocrite! You’re a Pharisee!

  • You’re a typical Pharisee!

  • Am I wrong to suffer and shepherd the flock for the Lord?

  • I don’t believe the Lord will abandon me!

  • The Lord Jesus exposed the Pharisees:

  • You exalt Paul’s words all the time,

  • but abandon God’s commandments.

  • Aren’t you just the hypocritical Pharisee

  • the Lord Jesus talked about?

  • Isn’t this misleading to people?

  • You mistake man’s teachings for God’s word

  • and make people obey them.

  • Do you even know what the consequences are?

  • You are rejecting the truth, and resisting God!

  • Do you think that your suffering has made you holy?

  • That your price will get you into God’s kingdom?

  • You’re just like the whitewashed tombs the Lord Jesus exposed,

  • beautiful on the outside, but filled with dead men’s bones.

  • Pursuing like this

  • will not only keep you from the kingdom of heaven,

  • but also stop others from entering.

  • God’s disposition won’t tolerate this.

  • How dare you lecture me! You…

  • Hey, Guoyi.

  • Guoming, don’t talk to your brother like that! Please calm down!

  • Come on, Guoyi. Don’t be angry. Sit down.

  • Don’t touch me!

  • You’re an adult, Guoyi? Try to remain sensible.

  • I’ll read you Almighty God’s words.

  • I don’t want any arguing or fighting today.

  • Let’s quiet our hearts before God.

  • Let’s all just sit down and have a good peaceful fellowship.

  • Come, Guoyi, don’t be angry. Sit down.

  • Why should I sit? Go ahead, read. I can stand and listen.

  • Read! Go ahead, read!

  • Read. Go ahead. Don’t worry about me!

  • Go! Start reading! I’m listening!

  • Guoyi, I’m going to start. Just listen.

  • Go ahead! Please read!

  • Hmm, Okay! Not Bad!

  • Read! I’m listening!

  • Hey! You see! Ha!

  • Almighty God has explained things so clearly.

  • He doesn’t need to lecture people.

  • Now, you two!

  • All you do is lecture and argue with me every day!

  • You’re always on the attack. How can I take in anything?

  • You’re always lecturing me! How can I keep calm?

  • You see! Look how nicely Almighty God explained it.

  • So reasonable!

  • And you two! Why should I listen to you yelling?

  • Does this mean you admit they’re the words of God?

  • There! What are you talking about? When did I not admit it?

  • When have I ever said they weren’t God’s words?

  • You two never understand me. You pin unfair labels on me.

  • Oh my! It took a while,

  • but you’ve finally said something sensible.

  • It’s been so difficult.

  • Was it all an act?

  • Does that mean you agree to investigate this?

  • Investigate? … Investigate?

  • Yes, I’ll look into all this.

  • If that’s the case, I’ll ask Brother Wang to come here.

  • Uh…

  • When are they coming?

  • They’ll wait for your call. It’s up to you.

  • Just ask them to come to the church.

  • Mm. Right!

  • Praise God!

  • Praise God!

  • We benefit a lot after we heard their fellowship.

  • We should rely on the Lord and read the Bible more!

  • Oh, my! Yes, thank the Lord! It’s a lovely day for it!

  • Praise the Lord! Co-workers, today I have gathered you here

  • for another fellowship

  • about “being saved” and “entering the kingdom of heaven.”

  • We’ve fellowshipped several times before,

  • but some of us had different interpretations.

  • Today, I’ve invited two brothers

  • from the Church of Almighty God to fellowship together with us.

  • Guoming, introduce them to the brothers and sisters.

  • Hmm.

  • Praise God! Let me introduce these two brothers.

  • This is Brother Wang.

  • Praise God for giving us this great opportunity.

  • We’re so glad to fellowship with you all today.

  • Thank the Lord.

  • And this is Brother Zhang.

  • Brothers and sisters, nice to meet you!

  • Thank the Lord.

  • Please sit.

  • My co-workers, let us fellowship our different ideas

  • about “being saved” and “entering the kingdom of heaven.”

  • Brothers and sisters, this very important topic

  • is clearly explained in the Bible.

  • Amen!

  • We’ve been saved through our faith in Jesus Christ.

  • Remember: Once saved, always saved.

  • When He comes, we will enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • We were saved when we accepted the Lord’s salvation.

  • Once saved, always saved.

  • This is how we’ll enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters.

  • Here’s my view on “being saved”

  • and “entering the kingdom of heaven.”

  • “Once saved, one is always saved

  • and will enter the kingdom of heaven.”

  • This is how we interpret God’s work.

  • But it is totally against God’s word.

  • Lord Jesus never said

  • one can enter the kingdom of heaven after being saved by faith,

  • but that only he who does the will of the heavenly Father will enter.

  • Only the word of Lord Jesus is the authority and the truth.

  • Man’s imagination is not the truth,

  • not the standard of entering the kingdom of heaven.

  • Brothers and sisters, we say that we are “saved by faith.”

  • But “being saved” only means our sins are forgiven;

  • we won’t be condemned or put to death by the law.

  • It doesn’t mean that we can follow God’s way,

  • break away from sin and be holy,

  • nor that we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • We are forgiven of our sins “by faith,”

  • but the sins still remain.

  • We can still sin and resist God,

  • living in a circle of sinning and confessing.

  • How can such people enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • The Bible says,

  • If a habitual sinner can enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • it’s against the real situation in heaven.

  • Do we dare say there are filthy and corrupt habitual sinners

  • in the kingdom of heaven?

  • Have we ever heard of a filthy evil person

  • in the kingdom of heaven?

  • The Lord is righteous and holy.

  • Would He let a habitual sinner into the kingdom of heaven?

  • Therefore, people bound by sin and who aren’t holy

  • can’t enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • If they can enter because they’re saved by faith,

  • then why did the Lord Jesus say

  • Why did He say He would separate sheep from goats

  • and tares from wheat?

  • Therefore, “entering the kingdom of heaven

  • after being saved by faith” is untenable.

  • This point of view contradicts the word of the Lord Jesus!

  • Look, this is very simple!

  • The Lord Jesus’ salvation is like a rope.

  • If we hold on to it tightly,

  • we’ll surely be brought into the kingdom of heaven.

  • You don’t have such faith. Are you worthy of getting in?

  • Amen!

  • That’s right! We’ll just rely on the Lord’s salvation.

  • By His grace alone, we’ll enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Amen!

  • That’s right.

  • Brother Lang, Sister Lyu, I think you’re wrong!

  • We used to think

  • “we can enter the kingdom of heaven once we’re saved.”

  • But after their fellowship,

  • I feel it doesn’t reflect the words of our Lord Jesus!

  • The Lord Jesus actually never said anything like that.

  • This is just man’s hope and our imagination!

  • Brother Lang, Sister Lyu, being saved is not the criteria.

  • We still sin often and are not worthy to enter!

  • The Lord said

  • only he who does the will of the heavenly Father can enter.

  • Perhaps this idea isn’t as simple as we had imagined after all!

  • It is said in the Bible,

  • Amen!

  • This proves that the Lord Jesus has forgiven all our sins

  • through His crucifixion.

  • The Lord doesn’t regard us as sinful, then who can accuse us?

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters, the Bible says,

  • But we must be very clear who are the ones chosen by God?

  • Those habitual sinners, traitors,

  • those who steal from the offering,

  • fornicators, the fearful, and the hypocritical Pharisees,

  • are they the ones chosen by God?

  • If anyone who believes in God is one He has chosen,

  • then for the words in Revelation,

  • “For without are dogs,

  • and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters,

  • and whoever loves and makes a lie,”

  • how do we explain it?

  • Therefore, not everyone who believes in God is chosen by God.

  • Only those who truly serve the Lord and love God,

  • and have real testimony are ones chosen by Him.

  • For example, Abraham, Job, and Peter are those

  • who obeyed and feared God.

  • They have righteous deeds and testimonies.

  • They were approved by God.

  • No one could accuse them.

  • Yet when did God call all believers righteous?

  • Most people often sin, resist and betray God. This is a fact.

  • Lord Jesus never called most of His believers righteous.

  • And so those “chosen by God” refers to those

  • who do righteous deeds and can follow God’s will.

  • I can’t agree with what you’ve said.

  • The Bible says,

  • By faith in Jesus Christ,

  • we are no longer condemned and will enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Right! Whomever believes in Jesus will not be condemned.

  • We will enter God’s kingdom!

  • Amen!

  • Brother, we like to think our belief in Jesus Christ

  • means we are already in Him.

  • This is our notion.

  • “In Christ Jesus”

  • doesn’t refer to all believers in the Lord Jesus.

  • Actually, most of them are not approved by God.

  • Among those who are not chosen,

  • some of them only eat the loaves and are filled;

  • some never love the truth, much less practice the truth;

  • some even perform evil against God,

  • especially those religious leaders,

  • most of whom walk the way of the Pharisees

  • and are false shepherds against Christ;

  • and some are just believers in name.

  • So if we say all who believe in the Lord are in Jesus Christ,

  • this is baseless!

  • So who are the ones mentioned in the word of the Bible,

  • They are those who abide by God’s commandments,

  • practice the truth, and obey God.

  • In other words, they are the ones

  • who pursue the truth and gain the life,

  • are able to obey Christ, no longer do evil,

  • and are completely compatible with Christ.

  • Such people are those who are “in Christ.”

  • It’s not true that all believers in the Lord are “in Jesus Christ.”

  • Some believe in God, but God doesn’t acknowledge their belief.

  • Can we say that these people who preach, cast out devils,

  • and do many wonderful works in the Lord’s name are all in Christ?

  • Aren’t they just the ones condemned by God?

  • So, “believing in Jesus Christ”

  • and “being in Christ” are different.

  • Believers who cannot be approved by the Lord

  • are not ones in Christ.

  • This is because God’s work of saving man

  • is not as what we’ve imagined

  • that all believers in God can be saved.

  • Many of them will be eliminated,

  • especially those who sin willfully after they know the true way,

  • like people who steal offerings, who deny God,

  • who betray God, who don’t practice the truth,

  • the fearful, and the fornicators.

  • These people will still be condemned and eliminated.

  • Those who engage in evil will be punished.

  • Just like the Bible’s Hebrews 10:26 says,

  • So, not every one who believes in the Lord is in Christ.

  • But they are those who love the truth and pursue the truth,

  • and obey Christ and have true knowledge of Him,

  • have no notion, no disobedience,

  • and no resistance against Christ,

  • can make Christ’s heart his own and can do God’s will.

  • Only they are the ones who are in Christ,

  • who are approved by God, and who can enter God’s kingdom.

  • You mean “believing in the Lord” is not “being in Christ”!

  • And that people in Christ won’t be condemned

  • doesn’t refer to all believers,

  • but those who do the will of the heavenly Father.

  • Only they can enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Yeah! If people don’t follow the Lord’s word

  • and willfully sin and resist God, they’ll still be condemned!

  • This preaching is so practical and so profound!

  • Having believed for years,

  • I’ve never heard such preaching from any pastor or any elder.

  • We should listen to it more!

  • People are sinful,

  • but the sin offering of the Lord Jesus is forever effective.

  • As long as we confess, the Lord will forgive us!

  • We are sinless in the Lord’s eyes,

  • so we will enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Exactly! The Lord Jesus has forgiven all of our sins.

  • And we will definitely enter! (Amen!)

  • Brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus did forgive our sins.

  • But it doesn’t mean we aren’t sinful,

  • or we’ve broken free from the shackles of sin and become holy.

  • The Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins.

  • But what does “sin” mean here?

  • We all know things like fornication and theft

  • which are against the law, the commandments,

  • and God’s word, all are sins.

  • Anything that resists God, condemns God,

  • and judges God are also sins,

  • not to mention blasphemy against God, which is unforgivable!

  • In the Age of Grace,

  • the Lord Jesus made Himself the sin offering for mankind.

  • Only by praying, confessing, and repenting to the Lord

  • would people not be condemned or put to death.

  • In other words, God no longer took them as sinners.

  • And mankind could pray to the Lord directly

  • and enjoy His grace due to His forgiveness.

  • This is the real meaning of “sins are forgiven.”

  • Although man’s sins are forgiven

  • because of the sin offering made by the Lord Jesus,

  • it doesn’t mean that man will no longer sin or resist God.

  • Because man’s sinful nature still remains,

  • he can still resist God, betray God, and make an enemy of Him.

  • How could he be qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Brothers and sisters, the redemptive work Lord Jesus did

  • was only to forgive men’s sins,

  • but it did not resolve their corrupt disposition.

  • Satanic dispositions like arrogance, selfishness, and craftiness

  • still remain within them.

  • These corrupt dispositions

  • are something deeper and more profound than sin.

  • They’re also the root of man’s resistance to God.

  • If these satanic corrupt dispositions are not resolved,

  • people will still resist God, and still judge and condemn God

  • via their imagination and false notions.

  • In persecution and tribulation, they’ll still deny God,

  • and even betray Him just like Judas.

  • If given power, they will form separate kingdoms to fight against God.

  • Some will even steal God’s offerings and offend His disposition,

  • and will be condemned by God and perish.

  • Today, most pastors and leaders in the religious world

  • do not follow the words of Lord Jesus.

  • They willfully misinterpret the Bible,

  • saying that man’s words are God’s words.

  • They exalt man’s word over those of Lord Jesus.

  • So the believers all worship and follow man,

  • having no place in their hearts for the Lord,

  • and are controlled firmly in their hands.

  • Especially when the returned Lord Jesus does the work of judgment,

  • these pastors and leaders not only refuse to seek or investigate,

  • but instead condemn God’s work, judge and blaspheme God.

  • They also fabricate rumors to deceive the believers

  • and seal off the churches,

  • making an enemy of God and offending His disposition.

  • This is the biggest resistance against God.

  • This is an unforgivable sin!

  • Their evil deeds are far more serious

  • than those of the Pharisees who resisted the Lord Jesus. (Yes!)

  • This proves that before man’s nature of resisting God is resolved

  • and his satanic corrupt disposition is purified,

  • he can still perform any evil against God.

  • How can such a person enter God’s kingdom?

  • Therefore, according to His plan of managing and saving mankind

  • and also corrupt mankind’s needs,

  • God expresses various truths in the last days.

  • He begins the work prophesied in the Bible

  • that “judgment must begin at the house of God,”

  • to solve the problem

  • that corrupt mankind is controlled by his satanic nature.

  • In this way,

  • man can gradually get rid of his satanic corrupt disposition,

  • and no longer disobey or resist God,

  • and can truly obey and fear God,

  • thus being purified and entering the kingdom of heaven.

  • According to what they’re saying,

  • I feel I am “wearing robes of judgement–clothing myself in sin”!

  • Hmm. It seems that man won’t enter the kingdom of heaven

  • unless he becomes sinless and holy.

  • This is for sure.

  • Even though we can avoid some obvious sins,

  • we still often go against the Lord’s word despite ourselves,

  • act of our own accord and resist God. This is a fact!

  • Mmm! We do need God to resolve our sinful nature

  • with a further step of work! (Yeah! Yes!)

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • the Lord Jesus just did the work of redemption.

  • So in the Age of Grace,

  • no matter how much people read the Bible or pursued,

  • they were in the bondage of sin and couldn’t become holy.

  • According to His steps of managing and saving mankind,

  • God predestined in the last days

  • that judgment begins at God’s house,

  • to purify and transform men

  • to free them from sin and become holy.

  • Let’s read a paragraph of Almighty God’s word.

  • Great! Isn’t it? Great! Almighty God’s word is so good!

  • From God’s word, we can see

  • that the Lord Jesus’ redemption

  • lays a foundation of God’s end-time salvation.

  • And the end-time judgment

  • is the core and emphasis of God’s work of salvation.

  • It’s the most crucial and important work for saving mankind.

  • Our experience of God’s work in the Age of Grace

  • can only make our sins forgiven

  • but can’t help us out of sin to achieve holiness.

  • Only God’s end-time judgment

  • can work all the truths mankind needs into them,

  • so that they can truly know God,

  • have their disposition transformed,

  • and become a mankind who can obey God,

  • worship God and be after God’s heart.

  • Thus ends God’s management plan of saving mankind.

  • Their preaching is irrefutable!

  • The “Eastern Lightning” really does have the truth!

  • Brother, the more I hear, the more I feel these words are good.

  • Can I read Almighty God’s word?

  • Sure! (Praise God!) Praise God!

  • Brother, Almighty God’s word is good.

  • Is it OK for me to read His word?

  • I want to read too!

  • Glory to God! (Glory to God!)

  • Almighty God’s word will be given freely

  • to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

  • I want one too!

  • Me too!

  • Brother, I’d like to read too!

  • Guoyi, Almighty God’s word is the truth. Please read!

  • Mmm! I was thinking about it!

  • Praise God.

  • Brother, please give me a copy!

  • Thank God! (Thank God!)

  • We were hoping you’d ask! (Thank God! This is great!)

  • Brother Fan.

  • I now see the authority of Almighty God’s word!

  • It really can conquer man! It’s so wonderful!

  • This is really God’s uplifting!

  • Yeah, thank God!

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Thank God! (Thank the Lord!)

  • Praise the Lord! (Thank God!)

  • This is great!

  • Here, brother!

  • Praise God! (Thanks be to God!)

  • Please give me one copy! (Sure!)

  • Praise the Lord! (Thanks be to God!)

  • Brother Lang, Sister Lyu.

  • Sister Meng.

  • Thank you! Praise the Lord! (Praise God!)

  • Thank God!

  • Thank God.

  • Thank God!

  • Brother, please read God’s word! (God’s work is so good!)

  • I’d like one!

  • Here!

  • Praise God!

  • Praise the Lord!

  • Brother, I have one question.

  • You said that for man to break free from sin and become holy,

  • he must accept God’s end-time judgment.

  • Then how does God judge and purify man in the last days?

  • Yeah, how does God work to purify man?

  • For many years I’ve often wondered.

  • What a joy to be without sin.

  • Then life wouldn’t be painful!

  • Brothers and sisters, this is an important issue!

  • As to how Almighty God judges

  • and how He purifies man in the last days,

  • let’s read Almighty God’s word together!

  • Please turn to page 7.

  • Guoming, please read!

  • OK!

  • These words are so excellent!

  • I’ve never heard of such words before.

  • They’re indeed good!

  • It’s true!

  • Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters.

  • In the last days,

  • God expresses the truth to judge and chastise corrupt mankind.

  • All the words God judges man with

  • are the expression of His righteous disposition,

  • what He has and what He is,

  • and the words that can be man’s life.

  • Therefore, they are all truths.

  • For corrupt mankind,

  • these words of truth are judgment themselves.

  • They’re chastisement, condemnation,

  • and searching, and purification.

  • With the word of truth,

  • God purifies the satanic disposition within corrupt mankind,

  • and resolves their nature and substance of resisting God.

  • This is the significance

  • for God to purify, save, and perfect man with judgment.

  • In the end-time judgment,

  • Almighty God expresses truth and reveals all the mysteries

  • of God’s six-thousand-year management plan,

  • and reveals the purpose of God’s three-stage work of salvation

  • and the substance of each stage of work.

  • He also clearly points out the way

  • for man’s disposition to become transformed and purified.

  • Meanwhile, He thoroughly reveals man’s nature and substance

  • which are corrupted by Satan,

  • plus the truth of his corruption and the root of his sin.

  • Then man can understand

  • that his nature is the very nature of Satan,

  • and sees that he is living in the likeness of Satan, the devil,

  • so he truly repents, and willingly accepts

  • God’s judgment, chastisement, trials and refining,

  • and is led by God’s word

  • to pursue the truth and the transformation of his disposition.

  • And he gradually breaks from the bondage

  • of his satanic corrupt disposition,

  • rebels against Satan, leaves the darkness and returns to God.

  • And so, man’s sinful nature is radically resolved.

  • What’s more, by experiencing and practicing God’s word,

  • man gradually learns many truths,

  • such as what is salvation, what is full salvation,

  • what is doing God’s will, what is following man’s own path,

  • what is following God, what is following man, what are Pharisees,

  • whom God saves, and whom God eliminates.

  • Most importantly,

  • in the judgment and chastisement of God’s word,

  • man learns that God’s righteous disposition is not to be offended.

  • Because of knowing God,

  • man comes to fear God and shun evil and live by God’s word.

  • As man understands the truth and knows God more deeply,

  • he’s more obedient to God

  • and has more reality of practicing the truth.

  • So man unknowingly breaks away from sin and becomes holy.

  • This result can never be achieved in the Lord’s believers

  • who refuse to accept God’s end-time work.

  • So, only by accepting the judgment and chastisement

  • of Almighty God’s end-time word

  • can man understand the truth and know God,

  • break away from Satan’s influence,

  • abolish his satanic disposition,

  • and live by the truth and God’s word.

  • This is the real meaning of being saved.

  • Thank the Lord.

  • Almighty God’s word really can transform and purify man.

  • This is surely God’s work,

  • because only God can transform and save man.

  • No one except God can do the work of judging and purifying man.

  • Right! All over the world,

  • only the Church of Almighty God testifies the Lord’s return

  • to judge and purify man.

  • After their fellowship today,

  • I believe Almighty God’s end-time work is the true way.

  • This fulfills the Lord’s prophecy

  • Humph, the Lord Jesus has already paid the price for our sins.

  • Now God has to judge and chastise man to resolve his sinful nature?

  • I just don’t understand!

  • Brother, we’ve been believers for a long time,

  • but we always involuntarily sin and resist the Lord,

  • living a life of sinning each day and confessing each night.

  • Now, Almighty God has expressed the truth to purify man,

  • to save us from the bondage of sin,

  • but you don’t have the heart to seek it.

  • Ask yourself. Is that right?

  • Don’t you desire to break free from sin?

  • Or do you want to keep sinning and resisting the Lord?

  • If we reject Almighty God’s work of judgment,

  • can we become someone who does the heavenly Father’s will

  • and enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Just by holding onto the name of Lord Jesus

  • and believing His promises,

  • without accepting Almighty God’s work,

  • I think we can still enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Brothers and sisters, if we only accept

  • the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace,

  • but reject Almighty God’s end-time work of judgment and chastisement,

  • then we can never break free from sin and become someone

  • who does heavenly Father’s will and enters God’s kingdom.

  • This is beyond doubt!

  • Because Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace was redemption,

  • He only gave man the way of repentance,

  • according to the stature of people at that time,

  • and let them understand some apparent truths and ways to practice.

  • For example: confessing and repenting, bearing the cross,

  • being humble and patient, sharing love,

  • fasting, baptizing and so on.

  • These are limited truths

  • that people during that time could receive and achieve.

  • As to other deeper truths

  • for man’s disposition to be transformed,

  • to be purified, saved and perfected

  • and so on, the Lord Jesus did not express them.

  • It’s because people of that time

  • had too small stature to bear them.

  • Only when the Lord Jesus returns to work in the last days,

  • will He bestow all the truth

  • for a corrupt mankind to be saved and perfected,

  • according to God’s management plan to save man

  • and the needs of the corrupt mankind.

  • The words of Lord Jesus are very clear

  • that in the Age of Grace,

  • He didn’t give corrupt mankind

  • all of the truths they needed for their salvation.

  • There are many higher and deeper truths,

  • the truths that free man from his corrupt disposition

  • and make him holy,

  • and truths like obeying God and knowing God.

  • He didn’t tell them these things in the Age of Grace.

  • So, Almighty God has expressed these truths

  • about saving man in the last days

  • to judge, chastise, purify, and perfect all those

  • who accept His end-time salvation.

  • Finally, He’ll make them complete

  • and bring them into God’s kingdom.

  • Only then will God’s management plan to save man

  • be thoroughly accomplished.

  • If one only accepts the redemptive work of Lord Jesus

  • but rejects Almighty God’s end-time work of judgment,

  • he can never gain the truth

  • and have his disposition transformed,

  • nor become one who does God’s will,

  • much less be qualified to enter God’s kingdom.

  • In the last days, mankind has been fully corrupted by Satan,

  • filled with satanic poisons within.

  • Mankind’s views, rules of living, outlook on life, and values

  • are all against the truth and in opposition to God.

  • They worship evil and have become God’s enemies.

  • For a mankind so consumed with Satan’s corrupt disposition,

  • if they are not severely judged, chastised,

  • burned and purified by Almighty God’s word,

  • how can they rebel against Satan

  • and break free of its influence?

  • How can they fear God and shun evil

  • and become one who does God’s will?

  • As we know, many long-time believers in the Lord

  • passionately testify that Jesus is the Savior

  • and labor hard for years.

  • But because they don’t know God’s righteous disposition

  • and have no fear of God,

  • when Almighty God carries out His end-time work,

  • they judge and condemn God’s work,

  • deny and reject God’s return,

  • and even re-crucify the returned Christ in the last days.

  • Such facts are compelling evidence

  • that if man rejects God’s end-time judgment and chastisement,

  • the root of his sinning and his satanic nature can never be resolved,

  • and all mankind will perish because they resist God.

  • This is an undeniable fact!

  • While believing in God,

  • only if one accepts God’s end-time judgment and chastisement

  • can he gain the truth as his life,

  • and become one who does the heavenly Father’s will,

  • can he know God and be compatible with Him,

  • and be qualified to enjoy God’s promises

  • and be brought into His kingdom.

  • Brother, for those long-time believers

  • who spend their lifetime for the Lord,

  • if they reject Almighty God’s end-time work,

  • they still won’t be taken into the kingdom of heaven?

  • Brother Fan, I’m glad you’ve asked.

  • Almighty God has given us a clear answer.

  • Please turn to page 1460.

  • Yes, that’s right! (Yeah!)

  • God’s words really carry authority!

  • Almighty God’s words are truly the words of God’s judgment on man.

  • Every word carries authority and majesty,

  • makes man convinced and fearful.

  • Almighty God’s words are indeed the truth and can transform man.

  • This is the way to be saved and to enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Brothers and sisters, Christ of the last days, Almighty God,

  • has brought mankind the real way to eternal life.

  • Almighty God is the Christ who appears in the last days,

  • and He is man’s gateway to the kingdom of heaven,

  • which no one can bypass.

  • Only if we accept the truth expressed by Almighty God can we gain life,

  • and do God’s will and be brought into the kingdom of heaven,

  • and receive God’s end-time salvation.

  • Just like what’s written in 1 Peter,

  • Praise the Lord! Now I understand.

  • Almighty God has brought us the real way of eternal life,

  • and the practical way to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Only if we accept Almighty God’s way of eternal life,

  • can we become someone who does the heavenly Father’s will,

  • and enter the kingdom of heaven! (Yeah!)

  • Before we mistook the apostle’s words as truth,

  • thinking that we could be saved by faith

  • and enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Now I find that it’s just unrealistic!

  • If we reject Almighty God’s way of eternal life,

  • and receive no truth or life from God,

  • how can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • We fail to keep pace with the Lamb’s footsteps

  • and stick to the words of the Bible,

  • so how can we receive the living water

  • and His provision of life?

  • No wonder our belief has come to a dead end.

  • We have actually been divorced from God’s work.

  • Of course!

  • We’ve been lost at sea, following the wrong directions!

  • Thank the Lord! You all are right.

  • As believers for many years,

  • we’ve longed to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Although we know Lord Jesus said

  • only those who do the will of the heavenly Father

  • can enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • none of us knew the true meaning.

  • Only the truth expressed by Christ of the last days—Almighty God

  • shows us the way to enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • reveals to us the heavenly Father’s will,

  • and uncovers all of the mysteries.

  • So we understand many truths

  • and have a more practical and accurate goal of pursuit.

  • Brothers and sisters, Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus.

  • All the words of Almighty God

  • are the truth, the Holy Spirit’s expression, God’s voice.

  • We are so honored to receive the way of eternal life brought by Almighty God.

  • This is God’s loving grace and our blessings!

  • We must never miss out on such an opportunity of a lifetime.

  • Yes.

  • Right! We are so blessed! ...

  • Just a minute.

  • If we can’t be taken into the kingdom of heaven,

  • no matter how good, how high, how true your preaching is,

  • I won’t accept it.

  • I will only hold onto the salvation of Lord Jesus.

  • I’ll just await the Lord to take me into the kingdom of heaven. Amen!

  • You’re right!

  • We have been saved by our faith in Jesus Christ.

  • The Lord has given us a beautiful promise.

  • If we hold onto His name,

  • we’ll be saved by grace and enter the kingdom of heaven!

  • Amen!

  • Brother Fan, we don’t need to listen to them.

  • No matter how well they preach, we can’t believe it.

  • We have to hold onto the Lord’s salvation!

  • Brother Lang, Sister Lyu, you both have it wrong.

  • Doesn’t man believe in God for gaining the truth and life?

  • If we reject what we know to be the truth

  • and stand in opposition to that,

  • aren’t we the same as the Pharisees?

  • Oh, yes! That’s exactly so. (I agree.) They didn’t confess that God’s word was the truth.

  • Brother Lang, Sister Lyu, through their fellowships I believe

  • Almighty God’s work of expressing words to judge and purify man

  • is God’s work in the last days

  • that “judgment must begin at the house of God.”

  • And the truth that Almighty God expresses

  • truly shows the way for man

  • to break free of his sinful nature and be saved.

  • We should not reject and resist God anymore.

  • Anyone who deliberately refutes what he knows to be the truth

  • is a Pharisee, and is resisting God!

  • You’d better quiet your heart.

  • And hear the rest of their message.

  • Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, please continue to fellowship.

  • Okay!

  • If we accept Almighty God, will we enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • To answer this, Almighty God’s words make it clear.

  • Let’s first look at what Almighty God says about it.

  • Everyone, please turn to page 1434.

  • From Almighty God’s words,

  • we see that God saves man by principles.

  • Not all those who accept Almighty God’s work

  • can be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Whether one can have a pleasant destination in the end

  • depends on whether he loves the truth and pursues the truth,

  • and whether he accepts and obeys God’s judgment and chastisement,

  • gains the truth from it,

  • casts off his corrupt disposition and is purified.

  • God’s judgment and chastisement in the last days

  • is the only chance for corrupt mankind to be fully saved.

  • Only those who love the truth,

  • obey God’s judgment, chastisement, trials, and refining,

  • gain the truth and are purified

  • can be brought into God’s kingdom.

  • All those who don’t accept the truth

  • and can’t obey God’s judgment and chastisement

  • are the ones God will cast away.

  • And those engaged in evil ways will be punished.

  • God’s judgment in the last days is also His work of classifying all.

  • Whether one can accept and obey God’s judgment and chastisement,

  • and gain the truth and be purified,

  • involves the great matter

  • of whether he can be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • Whether one can accept God’s end-time work

  • has a bearing on his fate, destination, and outcome.

  • Brothers and sisters,

  • let’s read another passage from Almighty God.

  • Everyone, please turn to page 1452.

  • Almighty God’s words really carry authority,

  • and are all an expression of the truth.

  • No one else can speak these words. This is God’s voice!

  • Through His judgment in the last days,

  • God reveals the fate of each man and classifies them.

  • God is truly so wise and so righteous.

  • From the judgment and exposure of Almighty God’s word,

  • I also see that I really engaged in evil ways.

  • According to my actions, I deserve to be cursed by God!

  • Thank Almighty God for His salvation!

  • I won’t miss this opportunity again.

  • Today I formally accept Almighty God as my Savior.

  • No matter what my outcome is,

  • I will follow Almighty God to the end!

  • Brother Fan.

  • Praise God! (Praise God!)

  • Thank God!

  • In all my years, I’ve never heard such good preaching.

  • I am supplied in my spirit.

  • I want to follow Almighty God and be a true believer in Him!

  • Thank the Lord!

  • The words expressed by Almighty God are the Lord’s voice.

  • Almighty God is the Lord Jesus we have been yearning for!

  • I can wait no more.

  • I accept Almighty God as my Savior now!

  • Amen! (Amen!)

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Almighty God’s words are so clear. This is the true way!

  • What are we still waiting for, everyone?

  • Right! Almighty God is the Lord Jesus

  • we’ve desperately yearned for and have been waiting years for!

  • Now that day has finally come!

  • I truly thank the Lord for not forsaking us!

  • Thank God!

  • Right, the Lord has finally come back, come to take us.

  • I never expected that

  • I would see the Lord’s return while I’m still alive.

  • I am really so blessed!

  • Praise God!

  • Thank the Lord!

  • Before I always thought Peter and John were so privileged

  • to listen to the Lord’s preaching.

  • Today, I am so honored to be able to personally listen to

  • the words and utterance of the end-time Christ, Almighty God.

  • This is the opportunity of a lifetime!

  • Yes! We will read Almighty God’s word carefully

  • and accept God’s judgment.

  • We must cherish this opportunity to be saved and purified!

  • Amen!

  • Amen!

  • In my two decades of believing,

  • I forsook everything to preach and work for the Lord.

  • I bore the cross, and subdued my body.

  • I felt I was the same as Paul—

  • I had finished the course and kept the faith

  • and a crown of righteousness would be laid up for me.

  • I took this as the capital for my belief in the Lord

  • and the basis of getting the crown and my rewards.

  • Now I realize that I exalted and testified

  • and sought to emulate Paul

  • and even took Paul’s words as the truth and the life,

  • and stubbornly walked the way of Paul.

  • Was I believing in the Lord?

  • Wasn’t I just believing in Paul and in myself?

  • For many years, I worked hard for the Lord,

  • fully convinced that I was His most loyal servant.

  • But out of my expectations,

  • I became an evil servant who led blindly.

  • When the end-time work of the returned Lord Jesus—Almighty God,

  • came upon me,

  • I refused to seek or investigate,

  • and instead I resisted and condemned it.

  • I even hindered and restricted believers

  • from investigating the true way

  • and expelled those who had accepted the true way from our church.

  • I’ve done so much evil.

  • Aren’t I a hypocritical Pharisee revealed in the last days?

  • How can someone like me expect to receive rewards

  • and enter the kingdom of heaven when the Lord comes!

  • I can’t bear to think of the past!

  • For so many years, I exalted and testified Paul

  • but never exalted and testified the Lord Jesus,

  • much less followed the Lord’s word or spread His word.

  • I walked the way of all antichrists—

  • serving God yet opposing Him!

  • These evil deeds of opposing God

  • pierce deep into my heart like thorns,

  • and cause me great pain.

  • I never expected that

  • I would welcome the Lord’s appearance in such a way.

  • I am so undeserving of the Lord.

  • I am willing to accept the salvation of Almighty God.

  • I will pursue the truth,

  • and make a new start to repay the love of Almighty God.

As for this verse, I could never quite comprehend it.
