164 The Purpose Behind God’s Incarnation in the Last Days
I
In the last days, God became flesh
to do the work He ought to do,
and to perform His ministry of words.
He came in person to work amid human beings
with the goal of perfecting
those people who conform to His will.
From the time of creation until today,
it’s only during the last days
that He has carried out this kind of work.
Only during the last days has God been incarnated
to do such large-scale work.
Though God endures hardships that
people would find difficult to endure,
and though He is a great God who yet has the humility
to become an ordinary man,
no aspect of His work has been delayed,
and His plan has not fallen prey to chaos at all.
He is doing the work according to His original plan.
II
One of the purposes of this incarnation
is to conquer people,
another is to perfect the people He loves.
He desires to see with His own eyes the people He perfects,
and He wants to see for Himself
how the people He perfects bear witness for Him.
It is not one or two people who are perfected.
Rather, it is a group,
consisting of only a few people.
The people in this group come from
various countries of the world,
and from various of the world’s nationalities.
The purpose of doing so much work
is to gain this group of people;
it’s to gain the witness this group of people bear for Him,
and to obtain the glory
He may derive from them.
