602 The Path of Successful Faith in God
Verse 1
The destinations of Peter and Paul
were measured according to whether
they could do their duty as God’s creatures,
not by the size of their contribution.
Their destinations were determined
by what they sought from the beginning,
not by the amount of work they did
or people’s estimation of them.
Chorus
Seeking to keenly do your duty
as God’s creature leads to success.
Seeking the path of true love of God
is the most correct path for God’s creatures.
Seeking changes in your disposition
and loving God purely leads to success.
Bridge
Such a path to success is the path
of getting the original duty
and the original appearance
of one who is a creature of God.
It’s also the aim of all of God’s work
from the very beginning to the end.
Chorus
Seeking to keenly do your duty
as God’s creature leads to success.
Seeking the path of true love of God
is the most correct path for God’s creatures.
Seeking changes in your disposition
and loving God purely leads to success.
Verse 2
If the pursuit of man is tainted
with extravagant demands and longings,
then man’s disposition will not change;
it’s at odds with the recovery work.
It’s not done by the Holy Spirit.
This proves such pursuit isn’t approved by God.
And what significance it could have
when it is not approved of by God?
Chorus
Seeking to keenly do your duty
as God’s creature leads to success.
Seeking the path of true love of God
is the most correct path for God’s creatures.
Seeking changes in your disposition
and loving God purely leads to success.
