The Six Aspects of the Truth That Those Who Serve God Must Understand

Which truths must those who serve God understand so that their service of God is in accordance with God’s intentions? First, they must understand God’s work and they must understand the aim of God’s work. They must have a clear understanding of how God saves mankind and how He frees mankind from Satan’s corruption and influence. Those who serve God must understand this aspect of the truth clearly. Suppose you have believed for a few years. Someone asks you, “How does God’s work save man?” You are unable to explain clearly. If you are unable to explain clearly, how can you guide God’s chosen people to enter God’s word? How can you guide God’s chosen people so that they can attain salvation? Therefore, the truth of knowing God’s work is very crucial. Right now, every person should do some self-reflection. Once you finish reading God’s word once or twice, can you explain clearly how God saves man, how Satan corrupts man, and what methods God uses to save mankind and change mankind’s corrupt disposition? These things involve bearing witness for God’s work. Only by understanding this aspect of the truth can one be capable of guiding God’s chosen people onto the right track of faith. The second truth is that one must understand one’s own corrupt essence so as to hate Satan and the great read dragon and truly forsake the great red dragon. If you do not understand this truth, this indicates that you have not entered into the experience of God’s word. It indicates that you do not genuinely obey God’s work. The first fruit of entering into God’s word is that you know your own corrupt essence. For in judging and chastising mankind, His main objective is to help man understand mankind’s corrupt essence so that man can hate and betray Satan. This is the foundational work when it comes to the attainment of salvation. Just now, we mentioned that there are some believers in God who do not know to what degree they are corrupt and what kind of corruption exists within them. They do not understand one bit. Can this kind of a person be saved? Someone who does not understand their own corrupt essence has definitely not been saved. One day, if this kind of person encounters a disaster and falls dead, someone else would say, “This person has definitely not been saved. You see, he has already died.” For those who are not saved by God, when the disaster arrives, they will definitely perish. Those who have attained God’s salvation will not perish when they encounter disasters. God will make sure that they survive. The third truth is that one must understand what is true salvation and what it means to truly return to God. Many people who believe in God do not know what it means to be saved. They think that as long as one believes in God, one will be saved. They think, “I pray to God and I believe in Almighty God. I will definitely be saved.” Isn’t this just your imagination? It is not that once your words say that you believe in God or once your heart acknowledges God, you will immediately be saved. You have to practically experience God’s judgment and chastisement and understand that you have an innate essence that has been corrupted by Satan. Only by equipping yourself with the truth and obtaining a new life can you break free from Satan’s influence and corruption. Only then will you truly be saved. There are many processes when it comes to attaining salvation. You must go through each of these processes. It’s the same in any matter. There is a process that you must go through. There is a process when you make food. There is a process when you make clothing. There is a process when it comes to taking care of a child. Everything has a process, including the attainment of salvation. Once you know what it means to attain salvation and the fruits that must be achieved in order to attain salvation, you will know how to seek so you can attain salvation. If you do not know what it means to be saved, then your seeking will not have a target. You are living within your own notions and imagination. The result is that you would have deceived yourself. You can see that within the religious world, people hold onto the name of Jesus and they do not let go. They think that as long as their hearts believe and their mouths acknowledge, then they have been saved. They just wait to be saved. The result is that they wait for years yet they are not saved. When the disaster arrives, they still perish. One after another, they all perish. Isn’t this just deceiving themselves? They do not know what salvation is. So, they listen to what other people say and they take it as the truth and keep it. Little do they know that all of that preaching and witnessing is man’s notions and imagination. They treat these notions and imagination as the truth. They hold onto these things and they do not let go. The result is that they have deceived themselves. The fourth truth is that those who serve God must understand how God saves man and how God perfects man. They must also know how man should cooperate so that he can be obtained by God in the end. Now, if you do not know how God saves man and how God perfects man, how can you seek salvation from God? How can you seek to be perfected by God? God wants to perfect you. If you do not know how God will perfect you, then how can you cooperate and how can you obey? That is why these truths must be understood. If man does not understand, man will have no way to practice and enter. It is like if you bought a machine. You do not know what functions this machine can perform and you do not know the principles behind these functions. You also do not know how to utilize it so that you can achieve the desired results. Now, haven’t you bought something that is useless? This is because you do not even know how to use it. That is why, when it comes to your faith in God, you must understand a few important aspects of the truth. This way, you will be able to genuinely obey God’s work and you will pursue the truth and cooperate in a proper manner. Only by going through this process would you be able to achieve salvation and become perfected. This is a realistic path. The fifth truth is that one must have a true understanding of God’s disposition and God’s essence. Only through this understanding would he be able to have a heart that truly reveres God. Can man serve God if he does not have a heart that reveres God? If man does not have a heart that reveres God, God would not use him. If He uses such a person, it is equivalent to using an unbeliever or a devil or demon. This person will interrupt, disturb and demolish God’s work. He will commit evil deeds and resist God. That is why those who do not have a heart that reveres God are not qualified to serve God. Now, how can one have a heart that reveres God? A heart that reveres God comes from a genuine understanding of God’s disposition. They have seen God’s righteous disposition and the disposition that God does not allow people to offend. They have seen those who offend God have received God’s punishment and retribution. Only through this way can one have a heart that truly reveres God. … The sixth truth is that one must understand the meaning of obeying God. Those who truly obey God’s work are qualified to serve God. Regardless of how God does things and regardless of how the Holy Spirit leads them, these people are able to understand and they know how to obey. They know how to lead God’s chosen people to enter into God’s work and attain salvation. For those who serve God, what they should mainly understand and enter are these six aspects of the truth. Once people have entered these six aspects of truths, they will have a genuine understanding of the Holy Spirit’s work. They will know how the Holy Spirit guides them, how He enlightens and illuminates them. They will have an understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit and they will be able to obey. This kind of person is qualified to serve God. If a person does not understand these six aspects of the truth, and does not understand the Holy Spirit’s work, they will not be qualified to serve God. That is why, in order to serve God, one must be equipped with some truths. They must have an understanding of God and have a heart that reveres God. They also must have an understanding of the Holy Spirit’s work and be able to obey the Holy Spirit and receive His enlightenment and illumination. They need to know what is the truth, what is reality, and what is doctrine. They need to know which people do not have the Holy Spirit’s work and which people have the work of evil spirits. If they can differentiate these matters, then they will be able to serve God. These are the basic conditions of serving God.
