between the work of God incarnate and the work of men used by God?

Doesn't the work of men used by God come from the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

Isn't all that comes from God also the work of God?

I don't see any difference at all!

How is it possible that God's work could be the same as man's work?

The Lord Jesus was crucified for man to forgive them their sins.

Can man do His work instead?

I have a question.

We've been investigating Almighty God's work in the last days.

Here is the question.

You testify Almighty God is the incarnate God

and does God's work of judgment in the last days.

But God incarnate is the most difficult for us to recognize.

Like in South Korea, a great many people take man's work as God's work.

And many even take false Christs' words as God's work to accept and to follow,

and then end up deceived into following Satan.

Can you please fellowship about how to tell the difference

between the work of God incarnate and the work of men used by God?

We are in urgent need to understand the truth in this aspect.

That is a good question!

The work fulfilled by the Lord Jesus was God's work,

and the work performed by His apostles was also from God.

Isn't all that comes from God also the work of God?

I don't see any difference at all!

Me neither.

Doesn't the work of men used by God come from the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

They do God's work, too.

Only those not led by the Holy Spirit are doing man's work.

Oh, I think you have it wrong.

How is it possible that God's work could be the same as man's work?

The Lord Jesus was crucified for man to forgive them their sins.

Can man do His work instead? (No.)

Definitely, there are differences

between the work of God incarnate and the work of men used by God.

It's just that our understanding towards the truth

is too shallow to tell the differences.

Let's hear the fellowship

of brothers and sisters from the Church of Almighty God.

Yes,

there are surely some distinct differences between God's work and man's work,

and we will find them if we examine carefully.

For example, when we compare the words and work of Lord Jesus

with the words and work of those apostles,

we find the obvious differences.

Every word of the Lord Jesus is the truth, filled with authority,

and is able to reveal lots of mysteries, none of which can be achieved by man.

And that is why so many people follow the Lord Jesus, after all.

However, those apostles could only preach the gospel

to testify about God and supply the church,

and the results of their work were very limited.

Then why is man unable to discern

what are such obvious differences between God's work and man's work?

What is the reason for this?

It's because corrupt mankind has no knowledge either of God or truth at all

that they don't know the difference between God's work and man's.

And they're prone to treat the work of God incarnate as man's work

and to take the work of those they adore,

evil spirits, false Christs and false prophets

as the work of God to accept and follow.

It's straying from the true way and resisting God.

It's adoring man, following and worshiping Satan,

which is something that's gravely against God's disposition and cursed by God.

Such people will thus lose the chance of salvation.

So the question you asked

is fairly important for man to seek the true way

and know God's work in the last days.

The work of God incarnate and the work of men used by God

both seem to be humans' working and speaking outwardly.

But there is a world of difference

between their substances and the natures of their work.

Today, Almighty God comes and reveals the entirety of truth and mystery.

Almighty God reveals the difference between God's work and the work of man.

For only then,

do we have some knowledge and discernment in terms of God's work and man's work.

Let's read the word of Almighty God. Please turn to page 874.

Yes. I'll read it.

I'll continue.

You see that the words of Almighty God make very clear

the difference between the work of God and the work of man.

Since the incarnate God and the people used by God are different in substance,

their works are totally different.

God incarnate is ordinary and normal in terms of His appearance,

but He is the flesh God's Spirit is realized in.

He has divine substance, God's authority, power, almightiness and wisdom.

Thus, God incarnate can directly express the truth,

God's righteous disposition and what God has and is in His work.

He alone can usher in the new age and conclude the old,

reveal all the mysteries in God's management plan,

and can speak all of God's will and God's requirements for man.

All the words God incarnate expresses are the truth,

and they can be man's life and they can also change man's life disposition.

So, the work of God incarnate can conquer and purify man,

deliver man from the influence of Satan,

and take mankind into a wonderful destination.

Such results cannot be achieved by any work of man.

God incarnate does the work of God Himself,

and the work cannot be done by any man in His stead.

Whereas, the people used by God are human.

They all have merely humanity

and don't possess the divine substance of Christ,

thus, they cannot express the truth, God's disposition

and cannot express what God has and is.

All they can do is fellowship about their knowledge of God's words

on the foundation of God's words and work,

or talk about their own experiences and testimony.

Both their knowledge and testimony

represent their personal understanding and viewpoint of God's words,

so no matter how high and reasonable their knowledge sounds,

it isn't the truth, much less is it God's words,

and therefore cannot become man's life.

They can only bring man some help, supply, support and edification,

but they cannot achieve the effect of purifying, saving and perfecting man.

Thus, the people used by God are unable to do the work of God Himself,

and can merely cooperate with God's work and perform their duty.

As to the difference between God's work and man's work,

let me give you an example to show the difference more clearly for everyone.

In the Age of Grace,

the Lord Jesus brought the way "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

He unlocked the mystery about the kingdom of heaven,

offered Himself as the sin offering, did the work of redeeming mankind,

and asked man to confess and repent;

they were forgiven of their sins, spared of the law's condemnation and curse,

and qualified to come before God to pray and commune with Him.

They enjoyed His abundant grace and truth

and saw God's merciful and compassionate disposition.

The Lord Jesus' work opened up the Age of Grace and concluded the Age of Law.

This was God's work in the Age of Grace.

After the Lord Jesus finished His work,

His apostles, based on His work and word,

started to lead God's chosen people

to experience and practice the Lord Jesus' words.

They proclaimed and witnessed the Lord Jesus' salvation,

spread the gospel of His redemption of mankind to the end of the earth.

This was the work of the apostles in the Age of Grace,

that is, the work of the people used by God.

It tells us that there're substantial differences

between the Lord Jesus' work and the apostles' work.

The incarnate Almighty God of the last days

expresses all the truths to purify and save mankind,

and reveals all mysteries in God's six-thousand-year management plan,

and conducts the work of "judgment beginning with the house of God,"

thoroughly freeing man from Satan's corruption and influence as well,

and showing man God's righteous, majestic, wrathful disposition

and His intolerance of offense as well.

Thus, you see, corrupt man is delivered from sins, attains holiness,

and then can be gained by God.

Almighty God's work initiates the Age of Kingdom and concludes the Age of Grace.

This is God's work in the Age of Kingdom.

The work of the man used by God

is to water and shepherd God's chosen people

based on Almighty God's work and word,

and to lead them into the reality of God's word

and onto the right track of believing in God,

and to spread and witness Almighty God's gospel of the descent of the kingdom.

This is the work of the man used by God in the Age of Kingdom.

It shows us that what God does in these two incarnations

are the initiation of an age and the conclusion of one.

They're aimed at the whole of mankind.

Both incarnations are to accomplish a stage of work in God's management plan,

which is exactly the work of redeeming and saving mankind.

God's works in His two incarnations prove that

only God's work can bring the necessary truth to purify and to save mankind.

There is no one who can do God's work instead.

So we can see absolutely

only God incarnate is capable of undertaking the special work of God.

So, God's two incarnations witness

that only Christ is really the truth, and the way, and the life.

Except the incarnate God, no one can possibly do God's own work.

No one can initiate an age and conclude an age, much less save mankind.

The work of the man used by God is only in cooperation with God's work.

Men can only proceed with their duty to lead and shepherd God's chosen people.

No matter how long men have worked, how much they have talked,

or how great men's work appears,

they are, in fact, still men's work in essence.

This is the major difference

between the work of God incarnate and the work of the man used by God.

Almighty God's word states so clearly the difference

between the work that is done by God incarnate

and the work of the man used by God.

After all these years of Bible reading, we don't understand this truth.

It seems the word of Almighty God is indeed the truth!

Yes, Almighty God's word is well said!

After your fellowship, we understand

the work done by God incarnate is to open an age and to end one also.

However, no matter how much work the man used by God does,

he simply cannot initiate a new age

or go beyond the scope of God's work and word.

Such a fellowship really enlightens me!

Yes. Almighty God's word shows us the substantial difference

between the work of God and the work of man,

illustrating how different they are.

We have just realized

that He who is God incarnate is the One who can express the truth,

the One who can display God's disposition and can express what God has and is.

If man accepts and experiences God's work,

then they will come to understand the truth,

know more and more about God's holiness and righteousness, and God's substance,

and His intention of saving man,

the ways of God of saving man and God's remarkable love for man.

Meanwhile, they will know their nature, substance,

and real situation of their being corrupted by Satan.

In that way, their corrupt disposition will be cleansed and transformed.

They will have true obedience and fear of God and be granted salvation.

However, man's work is so different from God's work,

for man can't express the truth,

but is only capable of talking about some experience

and knowledge about God's word.

Though in line with the truth,

it can only lead, shepherd, sustain, and help God's chosen people.

And obviously, all those people who are approved by God

can only cooperate with the work of God.

They're just performing man's duty.

However, those who are not used by God or devoid of the Holy Spirit's work

boast about man's gifts, talents, and fame.

Even when they interpret the scriptures,
