I

All people have been refined because of God’s words.

If God had not been incarnated,

mankind certainly wouldn’t have the blessing

of suffering through this refinement.

To put it another way,

all those who are able to accept the trials of God’s words are blessed.

Based on people’s inherent caliber,

their behavior and attitudes toward God,

they are not worthy of receiving this kind of refinement.

It’s because they’ve been uplifted by God

that they have enjoyed this blessing.

It’s because they’ve been uplifted by God

that they have enjoyed this blessing.

People used to say that they were not worthy of

seeing God’s face or hearing His words.

Today, it’s entirely because of God’s exaltation and His mercy

that people have received the refinement of His words.

This is the blessing of each person who’s born in the last days—

have you personally experienced this?

II

In which aspects people should experience suffering and setbacks

is predetermined by God—

it’s not based on people’s requirements.

This is the absolute truth.

Every believer should possess the ability

to accept the trials of God’s words and suffer within His words.

Is this clear to you?

So, in exchange for the suffering you’ve undergone,

you have received today’s blessings;

if you do not suffer for God, you cannot gain His approval.

Maybe you have complained in the past,

but, no matter how much you have complained,

God doesn’t remember that about you.

Today has come, and there is no need to look into the affairs of yesterday.

There’s no need to look into the affairs of yesterday.
