I

To follow the practical God, we must have this resolve:

No matter how great the environments, nor what difficulties we face,

and no matter how weak or negative we are,

we cannot lose faith in our dispositional change

or in the words that God has spoken.

God has made a promise to man;

this requires them to have resolve and faith, and perseverance to bear it.

God does not like cowards; He likes people with resolve.

God does not like cowards; He likes people with resolve.

II

Even if you’ve revealed a great deal of corruption,

taken the wrong path many times, or committed many transgressions,

complained about God, or from within religion resisted God

or harbored blasphemy against Him in your heart, and so on—

God doesn’t look at all that.

God only looks at whether someone pursues the truth

and whether they can one day change.

God doesn’t look at all that.

God only looks at whether someone pursues the truth

and whether they can one day change.

III

God understands every person in the way

that a mother understands her child.

He understands each person’s difficulties,

their weaknesses, and their needs.

Moreover, God knows what difficulties

weaknesses, and failures people will face

while entering the process of changing their disposition.

These are the things that God understands best.

This means that God scrutinizes the depths of people’s hearts,

He scrutinizes the depths of people’s hearts.

No matter how weak you are,

as long as you don’t renounce God’s name, or leave Him and this way,

then you’ll always have the chance to achieve dispositional change.

If you have this chance, then you have hope of surviving,

and therefore of being saved by God.
