569 How Will One’s Fate Work Out in the End?
I
You should know whether there is true faith and true loyalty within you,
whether you have a record of suffering for God,
and whether you have wholly submitted to God.
If you lack these, then there remains within you
rebelliousness, deceitfulness, greed, and complaint.
As your heart is far from honest,
you have never received recognition from God
and never lived in the light.
How one’s fate will work out in the end
hinges upon whether they have an honest and blood-red heart,
an honest and blood-red heart,
and whether they have a pure soul.
II
If you’re someone who’s very dishonest, someone with a heart of malice,
someone with an unclean soul,
you are sure to end up in the place where man is punished,
as is written in the record of your fate.
If you claim to be very honest,
and yet never manage to act in accordance with the truth
or to speak a word of truth,
then are you still waiting for God to reward you?
Do you still hope for God to regard you as the apple of His eye?
Is such thinking not preposterous?
You deceive God in all things;
how could the house of God accommodate one such as you,
whose hands are unclean?
