I

God comes in the flesh this time in answer to an invitation, and in pointed response to the state of man. That is, He comes to supply man with what man needs. No matter what man’s caliber or breeding, He will, in summary, enable everyone to see the word of God; He will enable everyone, from His word, to see the existence and the appearance of God and accept God’s perfection of them, changing the thoughts and notions of man so that the original countenance of God is firmly rooted in the depths of man’s heart. This is God’s only wish on earth.

II

No matter how strong the inborn nature of man, or how poor man’s substance, or what man’s behavior in the past was really like, God pays no regard to these. He only hopes for man to make completely new the image of God he has in his inner heart and to come to know the substance of mankind, thereby arriving at the transformation of the ideological outlook of man, and making it so man is able to long for God deep inside and awaken an eternal attachment to Him: This is the one requirement that God has of man.
