It is only from within your faith that you can see God.

When you have faith God will perfect you.

Without faith, He cannot do this.

When you have faith that you will see His actions

in your practical experience,

then God will appear to you,

and He will enlighten and guide you from within.

Without that faith, God will be unable to do that.

If you have lost hope in God, how will you be able to experience His work?

Therefore, only when you have faith

and you do not harbor doubts toward God,

and have true faith in Him no matter what He does,

will He enlighten and illuminate you through your experiences,

through your experiences,

and only then will you be able to see His actions.

These things are all achieved through faith.

Faith comes only through refinement,

and in the absence of refinement, faith cannot develop. Oh.

What does this word, “faith,” refer to?

Faith is the genuine belief and the sincere heart

that humans should possess

when they cannot see or touch something,

when God’s work does not align with human notions,

when it is beyond human reach.

This is the faith that God speaks of.

This is the faith that God speaks of.

People are in need of faith during times of hardship and refinement,

and faith is something that’s followed by refinement;

refinement and faith cannot be separated,

refinement and faith cannot be separated.

Wow … oh … wow … oh …

Wow … oh … wow … oh …

No matter how God works, and no matter your environment,

you are able to pursue life and seek the truth,

and seek knowledge of God’s work and actions,

and you are able to act according to the truth.

Doing so is what it is to have true faith,

and doing so shows that you have not lost faith in God.

Doing so is what it is to have true faith,

and doing so shows that you have not lost faith in God.
