d. What God promises to those who attain salvation and are made perfect

Words of Almighty God of the Last Days

The kingdom is expanding in mankind’s midst, it is forming in mankind’s midst, and it is standing up in mankind’s midst; there is no force that can destroy My kingdom. My people, who are in the kingdom of today, which of you is not a member of human race? Which of you lies outside the human condition? When My new starting point is made public, how will people react? You have seen with your own eyes the state of the human world; have you not yet dispelled the thought of living forever in this world? I am now walking amongst My people and I live in their midst. Today, those who have genuine love for Me—such people are blessed. Blessed are those who submit to Me, they shall remain in My kingdom. Blessed are those who know Me, they shall reign in My kingdom. Blessed are those who pursue Me, they shall escape from Satan’s bonds and enjoy My blessings. Blessed are those who are able to rebel against themselves, they shall be occupied by Me and inherit My kingdom’s abundance. Those who run around for Me I will remember, those who expend themselves for Me I will accept, and to those who offer up to Me I will grant them things for their enjoyment. Those who enjoy My words I will bless; they shall be the pillars of My kingdom, they shall enjoy matchless abundance in My house, and no one can compare with them. Have you ever accepted the blessings that were prepared for you? Have you ever pursued the promises that were made for you? You shall, under the guidance of My light, break through the stranglehold of the forces of darkness. You shall not, in the midst of darkness, lose the guidance of the light. You shall be the masters of all things. You shall be overcomers before Satan. You shall, at the downfall of the country of the great red dragon, stand amid the myriad people as proof of My victory. You shall stand firm and unwavering in the land of Sinim. Through the sufferings you endure, you will inherit My blessings, and you shall radiate My light of glory within the entire universe.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God’s Words to the Entire Universe, Chapter 19

Only those who love God are able to bear testimony to God, only they are God’s witnesses, only they are blessed by God, and only they are able to receive God’s promises. Those who love God are God’s intimates; they are the people beloved by God, and they can enjoy blessings together with God. Only people such as this will live for eternity, and only they will forever live under God’s care and protection. God is for people to love, and He is worthy of all people’s love, but not all people are capable of loving God, and not all people can bear testimony to God and hold power with God. Because they are able to bear testimony to God and devote all their efforts to God’s work, those who truly love God can walk anywhere beneath the heavens without anyone daring to oppose them, and they can wield power on earth and rule all the people of God. These people have come together from across the world. They are people from all over the world who speak different languages and have different skin colors, but the significance of their existence is the same; they all have a God-loving heart, they all bear the same testimony, and have the same resolve, and the same wish. Those who love God can walk freely throughout the world, and those who bear testimony to God can travel across the universe. These people are beloved by God, they are blessed by God, and they will forever live within His light.

Based on their different functions and testimonies, the overcomers within the kingdom will serve as priests or followers, and all those who are victorious amid tribulation will become the body of priests within the kingdom. The body of priests will be formed when the work of the gospel within the universe has come to an end. When that time comes, that which should be done by man will be the performance of his duty within the kingdom of God, and his living together with God within the kingdom. In the body of priests there will be chief priests and priests, and the remainder will be the sons and people of God. This is all determined by their testimonies to God during tribulation; they are not titles that are given on a whim. Once man’s status has been established, the work of God will cease, for each person is sorted according to their kind and returned to their original position, and this is the mark of the accomplishment of God’s work, it is the final outcome of the work of God and the practice of man, and it is the crystallization of the visions of God’s work and the cooperation of man. In the end, man will enter the kingdom of God and there find repose, and God, too, will return to His dwelling place to rest. This will be the final outcome of 6,000 years of cooperation between God and man.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God’s Work and Man’s Practice

After the work of conquest has been completed, man will be brought into a beautiful world. This life will, of course, still be on earth, but it will be totally unlike man’s life today. It is the life that mankind will have after the whole of mankind has been conquered, it will be a new beginning for man on earth. For mankind to have such a life will be proof that mankind has entered a new and beautiful realm; it will be the beginning of the life of God and man on earth. The precondition for such a beautiful life must be that, after man has been purified and conquered, he submits before the Creator. And so, the work of conquest is the last stage of God’s work before mankind enters the wonderful destination. Such a life is man’s future life on earth, the most beautiful life on earth, the kind of life that man longs for, the kind that man has never before achieved in the history of the world. It is the final outcome of the 6,000 years of work of management; it is what mankind yearns for most, and it is also God’s promise to man. But this promise cannot come to pass immediately: Man will enter the future destination only once the work of the last days has been completed and he has been completely conquered, that is, once Satan has been utterly defeated. After man has been refined, he will be without a sinful nature, because God will have defeated Satan, meaning that there will be no encroachment by hostile forces, and no hostile forces at all that can attack the flesh of man. And so man will be free and sanctified—he will have entered eternity.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination

When man achieves the true human life on earth and the entire forces of Satan are placed in bondage, man will live quite easily upon earth. Things will not be as complex as they are today: Interpersonal relationships, social relationships, complex familial relationships—they bring so much trouble, so much pain! It is so vexing to live in the midst of all this! Once man has been conquered, his heart and mind will change: He will have a God-fearing and God-loving heart. Once all those within the universe who seek to love God have been conquered, which is to say, once Satan has been defeated, and once Satan—all the forces of darkness—has been placed in bondage, then man’s life on earth will be undisturbed, and he will be able to live freely upon earth. If man’s life were without fleshly relationships and the complex matters of the flesh, then it would be so much easier. Man’s relationships of the flesh are too complex, and for man to have such things is proof that he has yet to free himself of the influence of Satan. If you had the same relationship with each of your brothers and sisters, if you had the same relationship with each member of your family, then there’d be nothing to trouble you, and you would not need to worry about anyone. Nothing could be better, and in this way man would be relieved of half of his suffering. Living a normal human life on earth, man will be similar to the angels; though still being of the flesh, he will be much like an angel. This is the final promise, the last promise bestowed upon man.

Those that God intends to perfect will all receive His blessings and His inheritance. That is, they accept what God has and is so that it becomes what they have within; they have all the words of God wrought into them; and whatever God is, they are able to accept it all exactly as is. In this way, they live out the truth. This is the kind of person who is perfected by God and who is gained by God. Only someone such as this is eligible to receive the blessings bestowed by God:

1. Gaining the whole of God’s love.

2. Acting in accordance with the intentions of God in all things.

3. Gaining the guidance of God, living in God’s illumination, and gaining God’s enlightenment.

4. Living out on earth the image that God loves; loving God truly as did Peter, who was crucified for God and worthy of dying to repay God’s love; having the same glory as Peter.

5. Being beloved, esteemed, and admired by everyone on earth.

6. Overcoming every aspect of the bondage of death and Hades, giving no opportunity for Satan to do its work, being possessed by God, living within a fresh and lively spirit, and not feeling fed up.

7. Having an ineffable sense of elation and excitement at all times throughout life, as if one has beheld the arrival of the day of God’s glory.

8. Gaining glory together with God and having a countenance that resembles God’s beloved holy ones.

9. Becoming that which God loves on earth, that is, a beloved son of God.

10. Changing form and ascending with God to the third heaven and transcending the flesh.
