How to Pursue and Gain the Truth (12)
Fellowship From the Brother Above – November 3, 2025 (Part Two)
What problem must people now resolve in their pursuit of the truth? If you were asked to become like Noah, you wouldn’t be able to do it. Noah upheld God’s commission for one hundred and twenty years, never doubting or wavering. Do you have this kind of faith? You do not, nor do you have Noah’s humanity. Many people have believed in God for years and have eaten and drunk much of Almighty God’s words, yet they still always doubt, “Is Almighty God a man or God? He has normal humanity, and He looks just like us. Is He really God? We’d better be careful. We mustn’t believe in the wrong thing.” You see, they have believed in God for many years and yet they still doubt God. What is the problem here? Are they clear in their heart on the truth of visions? (No.) They are not clear on God’s work, nor are they clear on how God saves man or on how He judges and chastises man. Furthermore, they do not know the incarnate God or understand what the incarnation is. This is the root problem. Therefore, such people always have doubts in their belief in God. Then, if they always have doubts, will this impact their performance of their duty? (Yes.) In the Age of Grace, when the Lord Jesus spoke and worked in the flesh, many people always had doubts, thinking, “Is the Lord Jesus a prophet or God? Has our forsaking our families and careers to follow the Lord Jesus really been of any use? Will it actually enable us to enter the kingdom of heaven?” They did not understand the truth or know the incarnate God. Seeing that the Lord Jesus could perform signs and wonders and speak prophecies, they thought He was a prophet, the greatest prophet. People followed the Lord Jesus, treating Him as a prophet. No one truly recognized that the Lord Jesus was the incarnate God. Although Peter said that the Lord Jesus was Christ, the Son of the living God, he was able to say this only because the Holy Spirit enlightened him. At the time, he didn’t actually know much about the Lord Jesus. Even without true knowledge, he was able to follow the Lord Jesus. He did not leave even when the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross, and followed to the very end. This is what faith is. But as for those who followed the Lord Jesus but did not accept the truth, they often doubted the Lord and were always wavering. So, when they saw the Lord Jesus being nailed to the cross, they felt, “Now the truth is finally out. It turns out that the One we have been following is just a man! If Jesus really were God, would it be possible for Him to be nailed to death? God is almighty. God could destroy people just by performing a sign or wonder or speaking a word, but Jesus has been nailed to death. So, He is just a man!” So when the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross, many of those who had followed the Lord scattered. They even said, “Oh my, we’ve followed Jesus for so many years, but we never expected that we were just following a man. Have I followed Him for nothing?” They thoroughly denied and betrayed God. But those who loved the truth did not doubt the Lord. Although they did not recognize the Lord while following Him, and they did not know that the Lord Jesus was God, they said, “We have gained quite a lot of truths by following the Lord Jesus. Our following Him has not been for nothing. It has been truly valuable to gain these truths!” Therefore, even when the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross, they did not betray the Lord. This is faith. When the Lord Jesus appeared to man in a spiritual body after being resurrected from the dead, these people were extremely excited and ran to tell one another, “The Lord Jesus we followed is God! He is God!” They became completely certain about the Lord, and their faith was strengthened. As for those who doubted, denied, and betrayed the Lord, they were put to shame, and they were thoroughly revealed. Do you now see just how many people the work of the Lord Jesus revealed? Those who constantly doubted the Lord Jesus did not know Him. They did not know that since the Lord Jesus could express the truth, His source was God. These people left after the Lord was nailed to the cross, saying that they had followed in vain and gained nothing. Most of them followed the Lord because they saw signs and wonders. They did not love or pursue the truth. Seeing that the Lord Jesus could perform signs and wonders, heal the sick, and cast out demons, they thought, “He is a prophet. He can heal the sick and cast out demons, and this power comes from God. If we follow Him, we can gain grace. This is truly worthwhile!” You see, they only followed the Lord because they saw signs and wonders, not out of faith. So as they followed the Lord, they half-believed in Him and half doubted Him, and when the Lord was nailed to the cross, they denied Him. In this way, those who did not love the truth were revealed by God’s work. Nowadays, some people also half believe in and half doubt Almighty God as they follow Him. They are always uncertain, thinking, “Is Almighty God a man or God? It’s really hard to be sure.” With this kind of attitude toward God, will they pursue the truth? (No.) They will not. Anyone who doubts God will not pursue the truth. Then tell me, can those who do not pursue the truth gain the truth by following the incarnate God? They will gain nothing. Only those who pursue the truth can gain the truth from God by following Him. These people who gain the truth will have reaped a harvest. When one day they harvest true knowledge of God, people will say, “This incarnate Son of man is the appearance of the Creator. The Creator is so wonderful! In His normal humanity, He leads us, provides for us, judges us, and chastises us. He also has patience with us, tolerates us, and comforts us. God’s disposition possesses mercy, lovingkindness, righteousness, and majesty. Oh, what God has and is is so rich! We have gained so much from it!” At this time, God’s six-thousand-year management plan will be successfully completed, and God will change His form. When God changes His form people will be so excited and full of joy and happiness! People have gained so much and such richness by walking this path of following the incarnate God by faith! If God worked in a spiritual body and performed supernatural signs and wonders, could people gain as much? Could people’s faith grow greatly? Could they have true faith? (No.) If God were to work in a spiritual body, people could not possibly have true faith. Only God working in the flesh can enable people to go from having no faith to having faith, and then to being full of faith, and finally becoming people with genuine faith, people who can truly follow God and testify to God. Such people are precious and can gain God’s approval. Tell me, if these people with genuine faith are arrested by the great red dragon, what will happen? They will all be able to stand firm in their testimony for God. They would rather be beaten to death than sign the Three Statements or become a Judas to deny and betray God. Is this not a testimony of faith? (It is.) But as for those who have no faith in God and always doubt God, when torture befalls them, they will hurry to sign the Three Statements, and they will hurry to deny and betray God. These are not true believers. You see, whether people have faith, and whether they are true believers or false believers comes to be revealed. If it were God’s spiritual body appearing and working, people would not dare to deny God once they saw His spiritual body. No matter what kind of person, everyone would acknowledge God, and even nonbelievers would come to believe in God. How then could it be revealed whether people are true believers or false believers? It couldn’t be revealed. Therefore, when God incarnate works, He does not display signs and wonders and only expresses the truth. This best reveals whether people have faith, and whether people are true believers or false believers. Only God’s incarnate work can perfect and save man. God working in a spiritual body could not easily achieve this result. Is that not so? (It is.) What does God’s incarnate work perfect in man? First, it perfects man’s faith. Second, it perfects man’s love, which is to say, man’s love for God. Man’s faith and love are perfected through God’s incarnate work. If God were to work in a spiritual body, man’s faith and love could not be perfected. If His spiritual body came to work, people would all see that He was God. Then, if people could follow God just by seeing Him, would faith still be needed? Following by sight is not true faith. But when the incarnate God works in normal humanity, people cannot see how God’s Spirit works. What they see is just an ordinary person expressing the truth. Only this can perfect man’s faith and love. God perfects man’s faith and love by expressing the truth. In the last days, the incarnate God has expressed so many truths. What result has finally been achieved? His words have become faith, His words have become love, and His words have become man’s life and reality. The work of God incarnate has saved and perfected man.
Knowing this stage of God’s work in the last days is of the utmost importance. Why has God become flesh to work in the last days? God’s working in the flesh can perfect man by perfecting man’s faith and love, and most importantly, only God’s working in the flesh can truly save man from the influence of Satan. Tell me, if people don’t spend several years experiencing Almighty God’s work, can they see through to this matter? (No.) Without experiencing Almighty God’s judgment and chastisement, can people come to know God’s work? (No.) Absolutely not. To know God’s work and the incarnate God, a person must experience God’s judgment and chastisement. After you experience God’s judgment and chastisement, you will see how the Holy Spirit works within you. You will say, “The Holy Spirit enlightens me to understand the truth, know myself, and the Holy Spirit works God’s words into me to let me know God.” Once you have gained these insights, you will have no doubts or notions about the incarnate God. You see, as soon as God speaks and the Holy Spirit works, not only do you have knowledge of God’s work, but you also become certain about the incarnate God, and you can determine that Almighty God is the appearance of God. Almighty God of the last days has expressed all truths. If you can accept these truths, you will have the work of the Holy Spirit. If you do not eat and drink God’s words or accept the judgment and chastisement of God’s words, the Holy Spirit will not work on you. The Holy Spirit’s work is to fulfill the matter of God’s words becoming man’s life. The Holy Spirit works God’s words and the truth into man, enabling man to accept them and have them become his life. Therefore, if man does not accept the truth, he cannot gain the Holy Spirit’s work and perfection. When you know this matter thoroughly, you know God’s work. You will say, “God expressing the truth and doing the work of judgment in the last days can cleanse man’s corruption. The work of judgment is the work of saving mankind.” Therefore, the significance of God becoming flesh to express the truth in the last days is truly deep. When you have experienced this matter to a certain extent and have some knowledge, you will never again have doubts or notions about God incarnate. So why must God become flesh to speak and work in His normal humanity in the last days? What is the function of the normal humanity of His flesh? In one respect, God does this to hide Himself. If God incarnate did not have normal humanity, people would get a strange feeling when looking at Him, and it would be hard for God to hide His identity. Therefore, God incarnate must have normal humanity. Only with normal humanity can God hide Himself. You see, ever since the incarnate Almighty God appeared and began to work, the satanic regime of the great red dragon and the antichrist forces of the religious world have been judging and condemning Him, saying, “He is just an ordinary man. He cannot be God.” They simply do not believe that this Son of man is God. Even though Almighty God has expressed so many truths, and these truths have been publicly put online, they still cannot see that this is the truth or hear that this is God’s voice. You see, the work of the incarnate God is thoroughly hidden, right? This is God working in secret. God becoming flesh to work in secret is first to hide His identity so that people cannot tell He is God, and second to reveal man’s corrupt disposition and man’s blindness and ignorance. In particular, when arrogant people see that the incarnate God is completely ordinary and normal, they blindly judge Him, saying, “This Son of man is completely ordinary and normal. He is not God. I will not accept Him, I am not afraid of Him, and I will condemn Him however I want!” Are such people not revealed? This is being revealed. After these people are revealed, the Holy Spirit should work to eliminate them. God becoming flesh this time to express the truth in normal humanity without performing a single sign or wonder has revealed and eliminated all those who do not love the truth. Many people have been revealed and eliminated because they could not accept the normal humanity of God incarnate, and many people have been revealed and eliminated because they could not accept all of the truths expressed by God. Tell me, is there great wisdom in God’s work? (Yes.) God’s work is truly wise! This stage of God’s work saves those who love the truth. When those who love the truth see the words expressed by God, they can recognize that this is the truth and God’s voice, and they can accept and follow Almighty God. But when they first believe in and accept Almighty God, are they truly certain about Him? They are not. Then why do they accept Him? Because they feel, “These words expressed by Almighty God are truly precious. These words are God’s voice. Even if I am not yet sure that Almighty God is God, the words expressed by Almighty God are all the truth. This is real. To gain these truths, I must believe in Almighty God. If I can gain these truths, then it is worth it regardless of whether believing in Almighty God is right or wrong!” Do such people have faith? (Yes.) Such people are not sure whether Almighty God is God, but they accept and follow Him just because He can express these truths. This is faith! Will a person with such faith still doubt God? (They will not doubt God anymore.) Some people say, “I have forsaken everything to follow Almighty God. I have forsaken my family, my marriage, and my job. All that I have done is to gain the truth.” Then is it worth it to forsake everything to gain the truth? It is so worth it! Because these truths expressed by Almighty God are the way of eternal life. You have forsaken everything but you have gained the truth and the way of eternal life, so are you still worried about not being able to enter the kingdom of heaven? What kingdom is the kingdom of heaven? The kingdom of heaven is Christ’s kingdom. Christ is the incarnate God. The kingdom of heaven is the kingdom established by the incarnate God. The kingdom of heaven is not established by any man or group in the world, but by the incarnate God. The kingdom established by the incarnate God on earth is the kingdom of heaven, and the kingdom of heaven is Christ’s kingdom. You must see this matter clearly. To put it more aptly, the kingdom of heaven is the kingdom of truth. In the kingdom of heaven, the truth reigns. This is absolute! The Lord Jesus prophesied: “When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). Almighty God of the last days is the Spirit of truth who has come. He has expressed all truths that enable man to be saved. God becoming flesh in the last days to express so many truths is for the purpose of establishing Christ’s kingdom. If you have gained the truths expressed by God and entered the truth reality, then you are worthy of entering Christ’s kingdom. If you have not entered the truth reality or gained any truth at all, then you are not worthy of entering Christ’s kingdom. Therefore, saying that Christ’s kingdom is the kingdom of truth is very apt and accurate. Is this not the case? (It is.) Then who are the people who will finally enter Christ’s kingdom? They are those who accept all the truths expressed by Christ. They are those who long for and pursue the truth to achieve understanding of the truth and entry into the truth reality. They are all those who live by the words of God’s mouth and finally come to submit to God. These are the people of Christ’s kingdom. You see, although people today are citizens of various countries, if we who believe in Almighty God can gain the truth as life, when the great catastrophes that destroy mankind descend one day, the kingdoms of this world will be destroyed and cease to exist, while we will survive and enter into Christ’s kingdom. So, what must one possess to enter Christ’s kingdom? One must possess the truth reality. Christ expresses these truths for people to eat, drink, and enjoy. If people accept the truth and gain the truth as life, what problems can be resolved? What can be achieved? (Gaining the truth can resolve people’s corrupt dispositions and enable them to come to worship and submit to God.) The truth is mainly for resolving people’s corrupt dispositions. People’s corrupt dispositions can only be resolved through the truths expressed by God. To man, the truth is judgment, chastisement, and refinement. The final result achieved is cleansing, salvation, and perfection. Tell me, what is people’s first reaction when they see the truth? For example, God says, “You must be honest.” What will people think? People should reflect on and know themselves, “God requires us to be honest, but I have a deceitful disposition. My speech contains lies and falsehoods, and sometimes I even conceal and disguise myself. Oh my, I am still far from being honest!” What effect does the truth have on people? It is judgment. To man, the truth is a mirror. As soon as people come into contact with the truth, the corruption and filth in their hearts are all exposed. Therefore, what people first react to upon coming into contact with the truth is the sight of their own corruption, filth, unworthiness, and impurity. They see that they are not worthy of entering God’s kingdom. Is this not the case? (It is.) The truth is God’s life, and it represents God’s disposition, God’s righteousness, and God’s holiness. When people come into contact with the truth and see God’s righteousness and holiness, their first reaction is to see that they are truly filthy and corrupt. They think to themselves, “Oh my, all the thoughts of my heart each day are evil. Not a single one accords with the truth or God’s intentions. I am truly filthy and corrupt!” So how do people see the truth of their corruption? It is through reading God’s words. Is this not the case? (It is.) After reading God’s words, people see that they are truly corrupt and filthy, and that they fall far short of the required standards of God. Therefore, the first result achieved by God expressing the truth upon man is judgment. The truth is judgment. The truth is a mirror that exposes demons. Tell me, are devils willing to read God’s words? (No, in their hearts they are averse to the truth.) Why are devils averse to the truth? Who can explain this clearly? (They don’t want to admit their mistakes, and they don’t want to face the truth of their corruption, so they are averse to the truth.) The truth is a mirror that exposes demons. When a demon sees the truth, it sees its true colors, and it knows that it is a devil, Satan, and resists God. It knows that it is completely contrary and opposed to the truth. Before the truth, its devilish side and nature essence are instantly exposed. Therefore, it is averse to the truth, fears the truth, and dares not face the truth.
