301 God’s Love Is Most Real
I
For God to carry out the work of conquest upon you is your great salvation. All of you live in a land of sin and licentiousness, and you are all licentious and sinful. Today you’re not just able to see God, but more importantly, you’ve received chastisement and judgment, you’ve received this deepest salvation, which is to say, you have received God’s greatest love. In all that He does, God is truly loving toward you. He has no ill intention. It’s because of your sins that He judges you, so that you can reflect on yourselves and receive this tremendous salvation.
II
All this work is done for the purpose of making man complete. From beginning to end, God has been doing His utmost to save man, and He simply has no desire to completely destroy the men He created with His own hands. Today, He has come among you to work; is this not salvation all the more?
III
God does not hate you or have any ill intentions towards you. You should know that God’s love is most real. It’s only because people are rebellious that He has to save them through judgment; otherwise, it would still be impossible to save them. Because you don’t know how to live your life and are not aware of how to live, and because you live in this licentious and sinful land and are yourselves licentious and filthy devils, He cannot bear to let you keep sinking lower, He cannot bear to see you living in this filthy land as you do now, trampled on by Satan at will, and He cannot bear to let you fall into Hades. He only wants to gain this group of people and thoroughly save you. This is the main purpose of doing the work of conquest on you—it is for salvation.
