主的拯救《我找到了人生正路》誠實人才能進天國

甄誠是某電器維修部的老闆，為人厚道老實，做生意本本分分，不會投機取巧，所賺的錢僅能養家糊口。後來在家人、同行的教唆下，他逐步學會了行業潛規則，開始憑「人無外財不發，馬無夜草不肥」「撐死膽大的，餓死膽小的」「錢不是萬能的，沒有錢是萬萬不能的」「金錢至上」等撒但哲學活著，丟掉了起初的良心，使用欺騙的手段謀取錢財。雖然掙的錢比原來多了，生活也富裕了，但他心靈裡並沒有感覺到幸福、快樂，虛空的感覺沒有消失，活著還是虛空痛苦。
甄誠接受全能神末世作工後，從神的話中明白了，神喜歡誠實人，恨惡詭詐人，認識到只有做誠實人才是真正的人，才能蒙神稱許，他便立定心志做誠實人。可在現實生活中實行做誠實人時，他產生了困惑：與弟兄姊妹相處做誠實人，一是一、二是二，這理所應當，如果在做生意上也做誠實人，那還能掙到錢嗎？不但賺不到錢，搞不好還有虧本、關門停業的危險……幾番爭戰後，甄誠在做生意上能做誠實人嗎？這中間經歷了哪些波折，他最大的收穫是什麼？……

🤔🤔Is the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus the Completion of the Work of Salvation?
Many of the brothers and sisters in the Lord reckon that when the Lord Jesus said “It is finished” while nailed to the cross, it meant that all of God’s work was completed then. In other words, God won’t do new work. But is this interpretation correct? Is the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus really the completion of the work of salvation?

True Meaning of Jesus Saying “It Is Finished” on the Cross

October 16, 2018

Hello Sister Wang,

In your letter you mention: “I think that when the Lord Jesus said ‘It is finished’ moments before He took His last breath, it meant that the work of salvation had been done and that we have been saved by God and that God won’t do any new work. …”

Regarding this point, I’d like to share with you my own understanding.

Actually, when the Lord Jesus said on the cross “It is finished,” it only indicated that His work of being crucified was completed, because the main point of the Lord Jesus being incarnated was to be crucified. His holy and sinless flesh was nailed to the cross as a sin offering to redeem mankind from Satan’s clutches and pardon our sins. In other words, the Lord Jesus was completing one stage of the work of redemption in God’s plan. In addition, during this stage of the work, the Lord Jesus also prophesied that He had more work to do in the future. So we can safely say that the Lord Jesus saying “It is finished” while on the cross doesn’t signify that the work of God’s salvation of mankind was completed then. https://reurl.cc/ka0Dd

We all know that when mankind was corrupted by Satan, God began His work of saving mankind. He wants to save us from Satan’s dominion and restore us to the likeness of the first humans He created. Once mankind has completely escaped from Satan’s influence, and our sins have been cleansed, that will be the time when God’s work is fully completed and will also be when God and mankind enjoy peaceful rest together.

For God to accomplish this work, He needs to work according to the stages of development of mankind. His management plan for saving mankind is being completed in steps and phases according to each era. In the first stage, God used Moses to issue the laws and demanded that people obey them. God’s laws were for teaching people how to live on earth and also what sin was. Then, in accord with mankind’s needs, God ended the Age of Law and began the Age of Grace in which the Lord Jesus incarnated to do His work of healing the sick and casting out demons and giving people limitless grace. In the end He was nailed to the cross and became a sin offering in order to redeem mankind from sin. After that, people only had to believe in the Lord and confess before the Lord and their sins would be pardoned. But though our sins are pardoned, our sinful nature still exists, and we are still slaves to the cycle of sinning in the daytime and confessing them at night. We have no way of shaking off the shackles of sin. Just as Paul said: “for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not” (Romans 7:18). And in the Bible, it says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). We still live sinfully, and we are vile and corrupt through and through. We are not qualified to enter God’s kingdom.

As is written in the Bible: “Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us” (2 Corinthians 1:10). “Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:5). “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation” (Hebrews 9:28). From these few verses, we can see that in order to save us completely from Satan’s dominion God of the last days has a stage of work to do to make us purified and worthy of His salvation. So when the Lord Jesus said “It is finished,” He didn’t mean that this work of salvation was already completed but that the work of redeeming mankind in the Age of Grace was done. From this we can see that God’s work of saving all of mankind is not yet finished. We need God to come and do the work of purifying and transforming us, otherwise we won’t be good enough to see God, never mind be saved by Him.

she is reading the Bible

So let’s look at a couple of passages of God’s words, “For all that man may have been redeemed and forgiven of his sins, it can only be considered as God not remembering the transgressions of man and not treating man in accordance with his transgressions. However, when man, who lives in a body of flesh, has not been set free from sin, he can only continue to sin, endlessly revealing his corrupt satanic disposition. This is the life that man leads, an endless cycle of sinning and being forgiven. The majority of men sin in the day only to confess in the evening. This way, even if the sin offering is forever effective for man, it will not be able to save man from sin. Only half the work of salvation has been completed….” “Therefore, after that stage of work was finished, there still remained the work of judgment and chastisement. This stage is to make man pure by means of the word and thereby give him a path to follow. This stage would not be fruitful or meaningful if it continued with the casting out of demons, for it would fail to extirpate man’s sinful nature, and man would come to a standstill at the forgiveness of his sins. Through the sin offering, man has been forgiven his sins, for the work of the crucifixion has already come to an end and God has prevailed over Satan. But the corrupt disposition of man still remaining within him, man can still sin and resist God, and God has not gained mankind. That is why in this stage of work God uses the word to expose the corrupt disposition of man, causing him to practice in accordance with the right path. This stage is more meaningful than the previous one, as well as more fruitful, for now it is the word that directly supplies man’s life and enables the disposition of man to be completely renewed; it is a much more thorough stage of work. Therefore, the incarnation in the last days has completed the significance of God’s incarnation and completely finished God’s plan of management for man’s salvation.”

From God’s words we can see that if we want to be purified and saved and taken into God’s kingdom to receive the inheritance of God, then we must accept God’s work of judgment of the last days. This is confirmation of what is written in the Bible: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1 Peter 4:17). God uses the judgments of His words to reveal and dissect our corrupt substance to help us see the reality that we have been corrupted by Satan. Then we will begin to hate evil and betray Satan, and rely on God to gradually get rid of our corrupt dispositions and cleanse our sins, thus becoming people who obey and love God. This is how God will gain a group of people who are of one heart and one mind with Him, and His 6,000-year plan to thoroughly save mankind will be completed. God’s great work will then have been accomplished. Just as Revelation says: “And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely” (Revelation 21:5-6). When man’s corrupt disposition is entirely cast off to yield a new man, then God’s work of saving mankind truly is done. Without the work of the Lord Jesus, our sins wouldn’t be pardoned and mankind wouldn’t have developed to where we are today; without the work of God’s judgment and chastisement in the last days, we could never get rid of our corrupt dispositions, never mind be purified by God. Every step, every stage of God’s work is necessary for mankind, and is implemented according to the degree of our corruption by Satan. Every step of God’s work is extraordinarily significant and not a step of it can be missed out.

So to reckon that the Lord Jesus’ saying “It is finished” while on the cross means that God’s work is totally finished doesn’t hold water. Only by following God’s footsteps and accepting God’s work of the last days can we be thoroughly cleansed and saved. People who achieve this are the most fortunate among the whole human race! Sister Wang, I am currently investigating God’s work of the last days, and hope that you can do so too. https://reurl.cc/ka0Dd

I look forward to receiving your reply!

Your dear friend, Sister Zheng

The True Meaning of the Last Words of Christ on the Cross “It Is Finished”

By Lingling That Sunday morning was just like any other as I opened my Bible and began my spiritual devotions, when I then saw Hebrews 9:28 that said: “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin to salvation.” Thinking about it carefully, I couldn’t help but feel confused. “That can’t be,” I thought. “Didn’t the Lord Jesus saying ‘It is finished’ upon the cross mean that God’s work to save man was totally finished? When the Lord returns, we can immediately enter heaven and will feast with the Lord, so how come this says that the Lord Jesus will appear again to save man when He returns? What on earth does it all mean?” The more I thought about it, the more doubtful my heart became … “This won’t do! I must find someone to fellowship this with,” I thought. Just then, I thought of my co-worker from the church, Sister Xiao Xue. We usually discussed the Bible together, and it just so happened that Sister Xiao Xue had just returned from attending a gathering elsewhere, and there was nothing she couldn’t help me to seek. I went to Xiao Xue’s home, and when I saw that both Sister Xiao Xue and her husband Brother Xu were at home, I blurted out my question: “I am confused about something that I’d like to talk with you about. We all know that the Lord Jesus said “It is finished” when He was upon the cross. This meant that God’s work to save man was over, and as long as we believed in Jesus, then the Lord would no longer regard us as sinful, and when He returns, we will immediately be raised up into heaven. And yet it says in Hebrews 9:28: “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin to salvation.” This says that God will appear again in the last days to perform His work to save us. How do you understand this?” Xiao Xue smiled and said, “This question you ask just so happens to be one that I’ve been discussing with brothers and sisters on my trip away, and after a few days of fellowship, we finally came to a conclusion. In actual fact, when the Lord Jesus said ‘It is finished’ upon the cross, He didn’t mean that God’s work to save mankind was completely finished, for He had previously prophesied: ‘I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come’ (John 16:12–13). ‘And if any man hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day’ (John 12:47–48). ‘He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches’ (Revelation 2–3). The Lord has already told us clearly that when He returns in the last days, He shall express the truth to the churches, tell us many mysteries and also perform the work of judgment. God is faithful, and everything that God has said shall come to pass.” I contemplated Xiao Xue’s fellowship, and I thought, “Yes! God is faithful, and seeing as the Lord Jesus prophesied that He shall utter more words and perform more work in the future, then that must surely come to pass.” Brother Xu continued, saying, “Yes, the Lord’s words can never just come to nothing. Moreover, we should also be aware that when the Lord Jesus said, ‘It is finished,’ He meant that God’s work to redeem mankind was finished and that man would no longer be put to death by the law. Thinking back to the end of the Age of Law, mankind was being corrupted deeper and deeper by Satan, they were no longer capable of observing the law and were in constant danger of being put to death by the law. In order to save man, God incarnated in the form of the Lord Jesus and preached the gospel, healed the sick and cast out demons wherever He went. He performed many miracles and was ultimately nailed to the cross to redeem man from sin. Therefore, when the Lord Jesus said, ‘It is finished,’ He meant that as long as all those who accept His salvation confess their sins to Him and repent, then their sins shall be forgiven, they shall enjoy the grace He bestows, and they shall no longer be condemned and put to death by the law. Moreover, if we think about it, in chapter one of Genesis, whenever God finished creating light, air, animals and plants and so on, it was demonstrated that the thing was then finished, and that God’s work to create the heavens, the earth and all things was finished. Similarly, when the Lord Jesus said on the cross ‘It is finished,’ then that meant that the work of being crucified to redeem man was finished, and not that God’s work to save mankind was completely finished.” After listening to his fellowship, I suddenly saw the light, and said, “Brother Xu, your fellowship has made me understand. The Lord saying ‘It is finished’ actually meant that God’s work of redemption was finished, and that as long as we trusted in the Lord and confessed and repented, then our sins could be forgiven, and we would not be put to death by the law.” Sister Xiao Xue then said, “Thank the Lord,…

From the meaning of Jesus Christ, we are able to recognize that Jesus is outwardly a normal and practical man, but He is the embodiment of the Spirit of God.

The Lord Jesus gave man all His mercy and love and performed so many miracles. But why is it that He met with so much hindrance when He preached and did His work?
