I

The three stages of work are at the heart of God’s entire management,

at the heart of God’s entire management,

and in them are expressed the disposition of God

and what He is, what He is.

Those who do not know of the three stages of God’s work

are incapable of realizing how God expresses His disposition,

nor do they know the wisdom of God’s work.

They also remain ignorant of the many ways in which He saves mankind,

and of His intentions for the whole of mankind.

The three stages of work

are the full expression of the work of saving mankind.

Those who do not know the three stages of work

will be ignorant of the various methods and principles

of the Holy Spirit’s work.

II

Those who only rigidly stick to regulations

that are left over from a certain stage of work

are people who limit God to regulations,

and whose belief in God is vague and uncertain.

Such people will never receive God’s salvation.

Only the three stages of God’s work

can fully express the entirety of God’s disposition

and completely express God’s intention of saving the whole of mankind,

and completely express the entire process of saving the whole of mankind.

This is proof that He has defeated Satan and gained mankind;

it is proof of God’s victory,

and is the expression of God’s entire disposition.
