I

You have experienced much of God’s work,

yet you have not changed or been cleansed.

You still live under the power of Satan, and still do not submit to God.

This is someone who has been conquered but has not been made perfect,

this is someone who has been conquered but has not been made perfect.

This person does not pursue life or a knowledge of God’s work,

and covets nothing more than the pleasures of the flesh and momentary comfort.

As a result, there are no changes in their life disposition,

and they’ve not regained the original appearance of man as created by God.

Such people are the walking corpses,

they’re the dead ones that have no spirit!

Those who don’t pursue a knowledge of matters in the spirit

or pursue holiness,

and who do not pursue living out the truth,

who are content only to be conquered on the negative side,

and who cannot live by God’s words and become holy humans—

these are people who have not attained salvation.

II

What God wants are people like Peter,

people who pursue being made perfect, who pursue being made perfect.

Today’s truth is given to those who yearn for and seek it.

This salvation is granted to those who yearn to be saved by God,

and is not only meant to be gained by you.

Its purpose is that you may be gained by God;

you gain God in order that God may gain you.

Today God has spoken these words to you, and you have heard them,

and you should practice according to these words.

In the end, the time when you put these words into practice

will be the moment when God has gained you through these words;

at the same time, you will have also gained these words,

which is to say, you will have gained this supreme salvation.

Once you are made clean, you will have become a real human being.
