I

We should have the view of seeking to be someone

who truly submits to and worships God.

We should no longer resist God,

no longer make Him loathe or be angry at us, constantly furious,

but bring comfort to His heart,

and we should be true worshipers, like Abraham.

This is the outlook on life that people should have.

When this sort of outlook on life and these kinds of thoughts

have taken root in your heart,

and you pursue in this direction,

then the temptation and seduction of

worldly riches, status, fame and gain will be lessened.

II

When you work hard, practice, and experience in this direction,

experience in this direction,

without even realizing it,

God’s words will become your motto for life in your heart,

and the foundation of your existence;

before you know it, God’s words will become your life,

become your life path within you, become your life path within you.

At that time, everything in the world will just be unimportant to you.

Therefore, it is also important what your outlook on life is.

III

If you pursue on the basis of God’s requirements,

then you’re going in the right direction.

It doesn’t even matter if you go a little astray,

or are a little weak, or have some failures;

God won’t remember,

and will always support you until your life grows, until your life grows.

What kind of people do you think God likes?

God likes those who pursue the truth, are determined, and are honest.

IV

God is not worried by your ignorance, your weakness, or your lack of wisdom;

but He loathes it if you don’t pursue the truth,

or if you understand the truth but don’t practice it,

or if you live without reading His words,

like soulless animals, with no goal or direction for your life—

God loathes it if you have this attitude of believing in Him.

People’s outlook on life should be to become someone

with truth, humanity, conscience, and reason who worships God—

that is, to become a real person, to become a real person.

This is the most proper pursuit, the most proper pursuit.
