Knowing the Purpose and Significance of Each of the Three Stages of God’s Work

(1) The aim and significance of God’s work in the Age of Law

Relevant Words of God:

The work that Jehovah did upon the Israelites established among humanity God’s earthly place of origin, which was also the sacred place where He was present. He confined His work to the people of Israel. At first, He did not work outside of Israel; instead, He chose a people He found suitable in order to restrict the scope of His work. Israel is the place where God created Adam and Eve, and out of the dust of that place Jehovah made man; this place became the base of His work on earth. The Israelites, who were the descendants of Noah and also the descendants of Adam, were the human foundation of Jehovah’s work on earth.

English Christian Song "God's Love Has Melted My Heart" | The Love of God Never Leaves Us

English Christian Song "God's Love Has Melted My Heart" | The Love of God Never Leaves Us Hearing Your kind call, I return before You. Your words enlighten, I see my corruption. I I’ve often been cold to You, hurt and saddened You, hard-hearted, rebelled, left You alone. Why is Your love for man repaid with pain? I hate my hard heart and my deep corruption. Filthy, unworthy to see You, of Your love. I am such a rebellious person, how could I know Your heart, see Your love? Your love is so real, I owe You so much. You keep me company when I’m chastised. Your heart aches with love when I’m refined. When I’m sad, You’re there. What I lack, You give. Facing Your love, my heart wants to break. Your love has melted my frozen heart, and now I have had a change of heart. II For whom have You become flesh and been so shamed? You suffer man’s rejection, but You have never complained about the desolation of life among man. You came from heaven with no place to rest Your head. You’ve never enjoyed worldly pleasures. You quietly express the truth, just so to save people and to gain their hearts. You keep me company when I’m chastised. Your heart aches with love when I’m refined. When I’m sad, You’re there. What I lack, You give. Facing Your love, my heart wants to break. Your love has melted my frozen heart, and now I have had a change of heart. III How can I keep waiting, keep on delaying? I’ll care for Your will, repay Your love. I’ll accept refinement and endure pain and stand testimony to satisfy You. You awoke my heart to love and live for You. I’ll pursue truth, live by Your word. I wish to love You and follow You, and bear witness for You forever and ever. You keep me company when I’m chastised. Your heart aches with love when I’m refined. When I’m sad, You’re there. What I lack, You give. Facing Your love, my heart wants to break. Your love has melted my frozen heart, and now I have had a change of heart, and now I have had a change of heart. from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

People’s Beliefs Cannot Substitute for the Truth

There are some people who can bear hardships; they can pay the price; their outward behavior is very good; they are well respected; and they have the admiration of others. What do you think: Can this kind of outward behavior be regarded as putting truth into practice? Can you say that this person is satisfying God’s intentions? Why is it that time and time again people see this kind of individual and think that they are satisfying God, think that they are walking the path of putting truth into practice, that they are walking in God’s way? Why do some people think this way? There’s only one explanation for it.

The Relationship Between Each of the Three Stages of God’s Work

Relevant Words of God:

From the work of Jehovah to that of Jesus, and from the work of Jesus to that of this current stage, these three stages cover in a continuous thread the entire gamut of God’s management, and are all the work of one Spirit. Since the creation of the world, God has always been at work managing mankind. He is the Beginning and the End, He is the First and the Last, and He is the One who begins an age and the One who brings the age to an end.

Pledging My Life to Devotion

On April 3, 2003, I went with a sister to visit a new believer. This new believer had still not been set in the truth and ended up reporting us. As a result, four evil plain-clothes police came and aggressively forced the two of us into their vehicle and took us to the police station. On the road, my heart was extremely nervous, because on my person was a pager, a partial list of names of members of our church, and a notepad. I was afraid that the evil police would discover these things and I was more afraid that my brothers and sisters would call my pager, therefore I continually and urgently prayed to God in my heart: “God, what am I supposed to do? I ask You to provide a way out for me and not let these things fall into the hands of the evil police.” Following this, I took the things from my bag and quietly moved them into my waist and said that my stomach was not feeling good and I had to use the restroom.

(3) - The Difference Between the Normal Humanity of Christ and the Humanity of Corrupt Mankind

God incarnates to save man and, from the outside, God incarnate appears to be an ordinary person. But do you know the essential difference between God incarnate's normal humanity and the humanity of corrupt mankind? Almighty God says, "The flesh worn by the Spirit of God is God's own flesh. The Spirit of God is supreme; He is almighty, holy, and righteous. So likewise, His flesh is also supreme, almighty, holy, and righteous. ... despite the fact that man and Christ dwell within the same space, it is only man who is dominated, used, and entrapped by Satan. By contrast, Christ is eternally impervious to Satan's corruption, because Satan will never be capable of ascending to the place of the most high, and will never be able to draw near to God" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

God Led Me Out of the Pain of a Failed Marriage After My Wife’s Affair

Zhuiqiu, Taiwan

Outside the window, the sun was slowly rising and the brilliant sunshine flooded the earth. Everything was so bright. Birds hopped from branch to branch, happily chirping away—their songs were particularly pleasing to the ear. I heard a hymn “God’s Love Brings Us Close Together.” I was really moved. It’s true—only with God there is love, only with love there is family. When I was in the most pain and despair it was God who led me out of my suffering over the failure of my marriage and brought me hope; He also brought me a new pursuit.
