Regarding Believing in God and Worshiping Him, Never Say You Don’t Have Time
Contact us via WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Fj17VLXM7xP... There was a businessman who had a small bump on his body. It didn’t hurt or itch, and didn’t interfere with his work, so he ignored it. His wife advised him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but he always said he didn’t have time. Six months later, the bump grew to the size of a walnut, and his wife urged him again to seek medical attention. Still, he said he didn’t have time and would deal with it later. Not long after, the bump rapidly expanded, and he finally realized he couldn’t delay any longer. He set aside his business and rushed to the hospital. After the diagnosis, the doctor said with a grave tone, “You have a malignant tumor. The toxins have spread throughout your body. If you had come for treatment earlier, there would have been hope, but now it’s too late...” Upon hearing the doctor’s words, the man deeply regretted his procrastination, but it was already too late for everything!
When it comes to believing in and worshiping God, some people still use busyness as an excuse to avoid gathering for worship. Students say, “I don’t have time; I’m swamped with schoolwork!” Farmers say, “I don’t have time; I’m too busy tending to my crops.” Businesspeople say, “I don’t have time; my business is too demanding.” Housewives say, “I don’t have time; household chores keep me occupied.” Just imagine the consequences of continuing like this—we will gradually drift further away from God, and our spiritual lives will come to ruin. God says, “There are some people whose faith has never been acknowledged within God’s heart. In other words, God does not recognize that they are His followers, because He does not praise their beliefs. For these people, regardless of how many years they have followed God, their ideas and views have never changed; they are like the unbelievers, adhering to the unbelievers’ principles and methods for interacting with people, and to the unbelievers’ laws of survival and faith. They have never accepted the word of God as their life, never believed that God’s word is truth, never intended on accepting God’s salvation, and never recognized God as their God. They see believing in God as some kind of amateur hobby, treating Him as mere spiritual sustenance; as such, they do not think it is worth it to try and understand God’s disposition or essence. It can be said that all that corresponds to the true God has nothing to do with these people; they are not interested, nor can they be bothered to pay heed. This is because deep in their hearts, there is an intense voice that is always telling them, ‘God is invisible and untouchable, and does not exist.’ They believe that trying to understand this sort of God would not be worth their efforts, and that in doing so they would be fooling themselves. They believe that by merely acknowledging God with words without taking any real stand or investing themselves in any real actions, they are being pretty clever. How does God look upon such people? He views them as unbelievers.” From God’s words, we come to understand: Simply believing in God in our hearts and attending gatherings only when we have spare time is treating our faith as a casual hobby. This kind of belief won’t earn God’s approval. It’s because we prioritize satisfying our family and physical needs, and we fail to grasp who God truly favors and despises, and never know how to practice His word in order to receive His approval. We neither understand nor have the willingness to understand God’s attitudes and requirements. In such a case, what distinguishes our faith from that of non-believers who simply acknowledge the existence of a higher power?
In reality, when we adopt this sort of viewpoint about belief in God, not only do we fail to gain God’s approval, but we also feel more burdened in life. As we toil for survival, we face numerous difficulties and pains. However, by participating in online gatherings, we can grasp God’s intentions and requirements; in dealing with life’s setbacks and work challenges, we can find paths of practice in God’s words. This allows us to alleviate much pain and savor the peace and joy bestowed by God! Most importantly, great catastrophes have already begun, and in this crucial moment of life and death, attending gatherings can help us maintain a normal relationship with God and increase our chances of receiving His approval and salvation. When comparing these things, do you know what the right choice is?
