I have sought many on earth to be My followers. Among all these followers, there are those who serve as priests, those who lead, those who are the sons of God, those who are the people of God, and those who do service. I class them based on the loyalty they show to Me. When all have been sorted according to their kind, that is, when the nature of each type of person has been revealed, I shall group each of them into their rightful category and place each kind into their fitting place, in order to achieve My aim of saving people. I call those whom I wish to save to My house in groups, and then have all of them accept My work of the last days. At the same time, I classify them according to kind, then reward or punish each person on the basis of their actions. Such are the steps that comprise My work.

Today, I live on earth, and I live among man. People experience My work, and watch Me speak, and along with this I bestow all truths upon each of My followers, that they may receive life from Me and thus gain a path to follow. For I am God, Bestower of life. During My many years of work, people have gained much, and forsaken much, yet still I say that they do not truly believe in Me. For people merely acknowledge that I am God with their mouths, but they disagree with the truths I express, and, moreover, do not practice the truths that I require of them. That is, people acknowledge only the existence of God, but not the existence of the truth; people acknowledge only the existence of God, but not the existence of the life; people acknowledge only God’s name, but not His essence. I detest them for their zeal, as they only use nice-sounding words to deceive Me, and none of them worship Me with a true heart. Your words contain the lure of the serpent; and they are arrogant in the extreme, a veritable proclamation by the archangel. Even more so, your deeds are tattered and torn to a disgraceful degree, and your excessive desires and covetous intentions are offensive to the ear. You have all become moths in My house, objects to be spurned by Me. For none of you love the truth; instead, you would like to be blessed, to ascend to heaven, to behold the magnificent vision of Christ wielding His power on earth. But have you ever thought how someone like you, someone so deeply corrupted, who has no idea what God is, could be worthy of following God? How could you ascend to heaven? How could you be worthy of beholding the beautiful scene of that unprecedented magnificent vision? Your mouths are filled with words that deceive Me, words of filth, of betrayal of Me, and words of arrogance. Never have you spoken words of sincerity to Me, no sanctified words, no words of experiencing My word and submitting to Me. What, in the end, is your faith like? There is nothing but desire and money in your hearts, and nothing but material things in your minds. Every day, you calculate how to get something from Me. Every day, you count how much wealth and how many material things you have gained from Me. Every day, you await ever more blessings to come upon you so that you may enjoy more, higher things that can be enjoyed. It is not Me who is in your thoughts at each and every moment, nor the truth that comes from Me, but rather your husband or wife, your children, and the things you eat and wear. You think of how you can gain ever better, ever higher enjoyment. But even if you fill your stomach to bursting, are you not just still a corpse? Even if you adorn yourselves in such beautiful apparel, are you not just still a walking corpse devoid of vitality? You toil for the sake of your stomach, to the point that your hair becomes streaked with gray, yet none of you sacrifice a single hair for My work. You are constantly rushing about, taxing your bodies and racking your brains, for the sake of your own flesh, and for your sons and daughters—yet not one of you shows any worry or concern for My intentions. What is it that you still hope to gain from Me?

I am never hurried when I work. Regardless of how people follow Me, I do My work according to My own steps and My own plan. Therefore, even though you are so rebellious against Me, I still work without cease, and I still continue to speak the words I intend to speak. I call to My house those who were predestined by Me, that they might be listeners to My words. Then, all those who submit to My words, who yearn for My words, I bring before My throne; all those who betray My words, who do not obey or submit to Me, and openly resist Me, I cast to one side to await their final punishment. People all live amidst corruption and under the hand of the evil one, and so not many of those who follow Me pine for the truth. Which is to say, most do not truly worship Me; they do not worship Me with the truth, but try to win My trust through corruption and rebellion, by deceitful means. It is for this reason that I say: Many are called, but few are chosen. Those who are called have all been profoundly corrupted and all live in the same age—but those who are chosen are only one portion of them, they are those who believe in and acknowledge the truth, and who practice the truth. These people are but a very small part of the whole, and from among them I shall receive more glory. Measured against these words, do you know if you are among the chosen? What will your outcome be like?

As I said, those who follow Me are many but those who truly love Me are few. Perhaps some might say, “Would I have paid so many prices if I did not love You? Would I have followed to this point if I did not love You?” Granted, you have many reasons, and your love is very great, but where is the essence of your love for Me? “Love,” as it is called, refers to an affection that is pure and unblemished, where you use your heart to love, to feel, and to be considerate. In love there are no conditions, no barriers, and no distance. In love there is no suspicion, no deceit, and no cunning. In love there are no transactions, and there are no adulterations whatsoever. If you have love, then you will not deceive, complain, betray, rebel, demand, or seek to gain something or to gain a certain amount of something. If you have love, then you will gladly dedicate yourself and gladly suffer hardship, you will be compatible with Me, and you will forsake all that you have for Me, forsaking your family, your prospects, your youth, and your marriage. If not, your love would not be love at all, but deceit and betrayal! What kind of love is yours? Is it a true love? Or false? How much have you forsaken? How much have you offered up? How much love have I received from you? Do you know? Your hearts are filled with evil, betrayal, and deceit—so just how much impurity is there in your love? You think that you have already given up enough for Me; you think that your love for Me is already enough. But then why do your words and actions always contain rebelliousness and deceit? You follow Me, yet you do not acknowledge My word. Is this love? You follow Me, yet then reject Me. Is this love? You follow Me, yet you are mistrustful of Me. Is this love? You follow Me, yet you cannot accept My existence. Is this love? You follow Me, yet you do not treat Me as befits who I am, and you make things difficult for Me at every turn. Is this love? You follow Me, yet you try to fool Me and deceive Me in every matter. Is this love? You serve Me, yet you do not dread Me. Is this love? You oppose Me in all respects and all things. Is any of this love? You have dedicated much, it is true, yet you have never practiced what I require of you. Can this be love? Careful reckoning shows that you don’t have the slightest hint of love for Me. After so many years of work and all the many words I have supplied, how much have you actually gained? Does this not merit a careful look back? I admonish you: Those I call to Me are not the ones who have never been corrupted; rather, those I choose are the ones who truly love Me. Therefore, you must be vigilant in your words and deeds, and examine your intentions and thoughts so that they do not cross the line. At the time of the last days, do your utmost to offer up your love before Me, or else My wrath shall never depart from you!
