It is not enough to work hard when doing your duty, you must also pour your heart into it. The only way to give your full effort is to do it with all your heart. If your heart is not in it, you have not given your full effort. If you only give all your strength but not all your heart, then you are just working hard without putting your heart into it. This way of performing one’s duty is not acceptable to God. When doing your duty, you should do your best at all times to satisfy God with all your heart, your strength and your mind. If you only give half of your strength and retain the other half, thinking, “I don’t want to get tired; who will provide for me after I wear myself out?” Is this the right attitude? (No.) Will you suffer a loss if you do your duty with this kind of mentality? (Yes.) What kind of a loss? (God will loathe me, and I will gradually lose the work of the Holy Spirit.) Not having the work of the Holy Spirit is a loss. If people believe in God for several years without the work of the Holy Spirit, their loss will be so great that they will gain nothing. It will be as if they have been believing in vain. There are many people who do not pursue the truth, and are eliminated after a few years of believing. That is, no matter how much you exert yourself when you do your duty, if you don’t put your heart into it, then you won’t be able to gain the truth. Is this a loss? Do you realize that this is a loss? If you are someone who really understands the truth, you can see that this loss is too great. Of those people who have believed in God for five or ten years, some have obtained the truth reality, while others are still preaching words and doctrines. Is this a big difference? (Yes.) How do those who have obtained the truth reality achieve this? It comes from experience and practice. Is this given by God? (Yes.) What is going on with those who have not obtained the truth reality and are still preaching words and doctrines? They believe in God for many years and yet do not obtain the truth because they do not pursue the truth, and they perform their duty only with their strength but not with their heart. Is it a blessing or a curse to believe in God and not obtain the truth? (It’s a curse.) Why is it a curse? Can you see through this? Is the fact that you haven’t obtained the truth a big problem or a small problem? (A big problem.) What is this big problem related to? Does it have anything to do with salvation? (Yes.) What does it mean when you preach words and doctrines all day long? It puts a question mark on being saved and makes it difficult to achieve. Some people have believed in God for ten years and are still preaching words and doctrines. Others have believed for twenty years and have not yet entered into the truth reality and do not yet know what the truth reality means. Are these people in danger? Is it unclear whether or not they can be saved? (Yes.) Tell Me, of those who have believed for the same number of years, which type of person has the greater chance and more hope of salvation? Is it the people who preach words and doctrines or those who have the truth reality? (Those who have the truth reality.) This is obvious. Then what kind of people do you want to be? (People who have the truth reality.) How can one be a person who has the truth reality? (By actually practicing according to the word of God.) (By doing one’s duty with all one’s heart, strength and mind according to God’s requirements and sparing no effort to satisfy Him.) That’s right. If you do whatever God asks you to do, you will obtain the truth. What is this related to? It is related to one’s outcome and destination. Some people are foolish and smug, and they don’t even know how much they have lost, or what damage they have suffered. They sit there shooting off their mouths and preaching words and doctrines, and still don’t know that they are on the verge of danger! What is the end of those who cannot be saved? First of all, they will be eliminated by God and, looking further ahead, what is their end? (Perdition and destruction.) This is their outcome, this is their destination. If people believe in God and end up like this, is this their original intention in believing in Him? (No.) No one wants to end up like this. If you don’t want such an end, then don’t follow that path. You should follow the path of pursuing the truth and only then will you be able to achieve salvation.

If people are unable to receive the work in the last days, they will be completely finished and will not get another chance. It isn’t like the work in the Age of Grace, where if a person didn’t receive it, no matter what country they were born in, they could still wait for an opportunity to receive God’s work in the last days. The end of God’s work in the last days is the end of His management plan, and what does the end mean? It means that He is going to determine each person’s ending, and the end of all things and of humankind is near. God’s work has reached this stage, and if people do not have this vision in their hearts, if they are always confused and do their duty in a perfunctory way, if they fail to take the pursuit of truth seriously and think that, as long as they believe, they will be saved, then they will miss their last chance for salvation. One day when the great disasters arrive, and the work is completely finished, God will no longer do the work of watering and providing people with the truth. With what kind of disposition will God face humankind at that time, do you know? His wrath will be great and His righteous disposition will be revealed to all mankind, in a way that has never been done before. This will be the last great catastrophe for mankind. It is now the period in which God is working to save people. He has been patient, tolerant, and waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for His predestined people, for His chosen people, for those who He wants to save to come before Him, accept His judgment and chastisement, and accept His salvation. When these people have been made complete, God’s great work will be accomplished, and God will no longer do the work of saving mankind. This is not the time of Noah, nor is it the time of the destruction of Sodom, or the time of the creation of the world. Rather, it is the time of the end of the world. Some people are still dreaming, they don’t know what stage God’s work of salvation has reached. Even though they have received the appearance and work of God, they still do not hurry, they remain confused and don’t take it seriously. Once this stage of the work is over, a person’s outcome will be what it is, and it will not change. Man is foolish and still thinks, “It’s okay, God will give us another chance!” The chances are given during the period of God’s work. How could there be another chance when this era is over? Isn’t that just a dream?
