🤔🤔VIII. Questions and Answers on Entering the Kingdom of Heaven
📒2. The apostle Paul said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness” (2Ti 4:7–8). We have believed in the Lord for many years, and throughout, we have emulated Paul in running the course and working for the Lord. We have spread the gospel and built churches, and we have kept to the name of the Lord and the way of the Lord. There is no question that the crown of righteousness shall be laid up for us. As long as we are diligent in our labor for the Lord and vigilant in awaiting the return of the Lord, we shall be raptured directly into the kingdom of heaven. Are you saying there is something wrong with what we practice?
🌾Bible Verses for Reference:
🌱“Not every one that said to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name? and in Your name have cast out devils? and in Your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity” (Mat 7:21–23).
💖Relevant Words of God:
Imagine that you are able to work for God, yet you do not obey God, and are incapable of truly loving God. In this way, not only will you not have fulfilled the duty of a creature of God, but you will also be condemned by God, for you are someone who does not possess the truth, who is incapable of obeying God, and who is disobedient to God. You only care about working for God, and do not care about putting the truth into practice or knowing yourself. You do not understand or know the Creator, and do not obey or love the Creator. You are someone who is innately disobedient to God, and so such people are not beloved by the Creator.
—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Success or Failure Depends on the Path That Man Walks
People say that God is a righteous God, and that as long as man follows Him to the very end, He will surely be impartial toward man, for He is most righteous. If man follows Him to the very end, could He cast man aside? I am impartial toward all men, and judge all men with My righteous disposition, yet there are suitable conditions to the requirements I make of man, and that which I require must be accomplished by all men, regardless of who they are. I care not how your qualifications are, or how long you have held them; I care only whether you walk in My way, and whether or not you love and thirst for the truth. If you lack the truth, and instead bring shame upon My name, and do not act according to My way, merely following without care or concern, then at that time I will strike you down and punish you for your evil, and what will you have to say then? Will you be able to say that God is not righteous? Today, if you have complied with the words I have spoken, then you are the kind of person whom I approve. You say you have always suffered whilst following God, that you have followed Him through thick and thin, and have shared with Him the good times and the bad, but you have not lived out the words spoken by God; you wish only to run about for God and expend yourself for God each day, and have never thought to live out a life of meaning. You also say, “In any case, I believe God is righteous. I have suffered for Him, run around for Him, and devoted myself for Him, and I have worked hard despite not receiving any recognition; He is sure to remember me.” It is true that God is righteous, yet this righteousness is untainted by any impurities: It contains no human will, and it is not tainted by the flesh, or by human transactions. All who are rebellious and in opposition, all who are not in compliance with His way, will be punished; none is forgiven, and none is spared! Some people say, “Today I run around for You; when the end comes, can You give me a little blessing?” So I ask you, “Have you complied with My words?” The righteousness that you speak of is based on a transaction. You think only that I am righteous and impartial toward all men, and that all those who follow Me to the very end are sure to be saved and gain My blessings. There is inner meaning to My words that “all those who follow Me to the very end are sure to be saved”: Those who follow Me to the very end are the ones who will be fully gained by Me, they are those who, after being conquered by Me, seek the truth and are made perfect. What conditions have you achieved? You have only achieved following Me to the very end, but what else? Have you complied with My words? You have accomplished one of My five requirements, yet you have no intention of accomplishing the remaining four. You have simply found the simplest, easiest path, and pursued it with an attitude of just hoping to get lucky. Toward such a person as you My righteous disposition is one of chastisement and judgment, it is one of righteous retribution, and it is the righteous punishment of all evildoers; all those who do not walk in My way will surely be punished, even if they follow to the very end. This is the righteousness of God.

Relevant Words of God:
What internal state in people are trials aimed at? They are targeted at the rebellious disposition in people that is incapable of satisfying God. There is much that is impure within people, and much that is hypocritical, and so God subjects people to trials in order to purify them. …
If you do not know God’s disposition, then you will inevitably fall during trials, because you are unaware of how God makes people perfect, by what means He makes them perfect, and when God’s trials come upon you and they do not match your notions, you will be unable to stand firm. God’s true love is His entire disposition, and when God’s entire disposition is shown to people, what does this bring to your flesh? When God’s righteous disposition is shown to people, their flesh will inevitably suffer much pain. If you do not suffer this pain, then you cannot be made perfect by God, nor will you be able to devote true love to God. If God makes you perfect, He will surely show His entire disposition to you. From the time of creation until today, God has never shown His entire disposition to man—but during the last days He reveals it to this group of people whom He has predestined and selected, and by making people perfect, He lays bare His dispositions, through which He makes complete a group of people. Such is God’s true love for people. Experiencing God’s true love requires that people endure extreme pain, and pay a high price. Only after this will they be gained by God and be able to give their true love back to God, and only then will God’s heart be satisfied. If people wish to be made perfect by God, and if they wish to do His will, and fully give their true love to God, then they must experience much suffering and many torments from their circumstances, to suffer pain worse than death. Ultimately they will be forced to give their true heart back to God. Whether or not someone truly loves God is revealed during hardship and refinement. God purifies people’s love, and this is also only achieved amid hardship and refinement.

全能神經典話語 《揭示道成肉身奥秘的話語》 選段194
194 道成肉身的人性是為了維持在肉身中的神性的正常作工的,而正常的大腦思維是維持正常人性的,正常的大腦思維又是維持肉身的一切正常活動的,可以説,正常的大腦思維就是為了維持在肉身中的神的一切作工的。若是這個肉身没有正常人性的思維,神就不能在肉身中作工,這樣他在肉身中該作的工作就永遠完不成。道成肉身的神雖有正常的大腦思維,但他的作工中并不摻有人的思維,他是在有正常思維的人性中作工,是在有思維的人性的前提下作工,并不是發揮正常的大腦思維來作工。無論他所在肉身的思維有多高,他的作工中仍不摻有邏輯學,不摻有思維學。也就是説,他的工作不是肉身的思維想象出來的,而是神性的作工在人性中的直接發表,他的作工都是他該盡的職分,没有一步是他的大腦琢磨出來的。就如他給人醫病趕鬼、釘十字架不是大腦想出來的,也是所有有大腦思維的人不能達到的。今天的征服工作同樣也是道成肉身的神該盡的職分,但這工作并不是人的意思,這都是神性該作的工作,是屬血氣的任何一個人所不能達到的。所以,道成肉身的神務必有大腦的正常思維,務必有正常的人性,因他務必得在有正常思維的人性裏作工,這就是道成肉身的神的作工實質,也是道成肉身的神的實質。
耶穌没有作工作時只是在正常人性裏生活,人根本看不出他是神,没有人發現他是道成肉身的神,人只知道他是一個最普通的人。這個最普通的正常人性就證實了神道成的是肉身,證實了恩典時代是道成肉身的神作工的時代,并不是靈作工的時代,證實了神的靈完全實化在了肉身裏,證實了在神道成肉身的時代肉身將作靈的一切工作。有正常人性的基督就是靈實化的有正常人性、有正常理智、有大腦思維這樣的一個肉身。所謂「實化」就是神成了人的意思,靈成了肉身的意思,説得再明白點,就是神自己住在一個有正常人性的肉身裏,藉着正常人性的肉身來發表他的神性作工,這就是「實化」,也就是道成了肉身。
——《話・卷一 神的顯現與作工・神所在「肉身」的實質》
