685 Hold Firm to What Man Must Do
I
Since you are certain that this way is true,
you must follow it until the end and maintain your devotion to God.
Since you’ve seen that God Himself has come to the earth to perfect you,
you should give your heart entirely to Him.
If you can still follow Him no matter what He does,
even if He determines an unfavorable outcome for you in the end,
this is maintaining your purity in front of God,
maintaining your purity in front of God.
Offering a holy spiritual body and a pure virgin to God
means keeping a sincere heart in front of God.
For mankind, sincerity is purity,
and the ability to be sincere toward God is maintaining purity.
II
You should be able to fulfill the duty of a created being,
and no matter what your future outcome and your destination may be,
you should be able to pursue knowledge of and love for God
during the years you are alive,
and no matter how God treats you, you should be able to avoid complaining.
There is one condition for the Holy Spirit to work within people.
They must thirst and seek
and not be half-hearted or doubtful about God’s actions,
and they must be able to uphold their duty at all times;
only in this way can they gain the work of the Holy Spirit.
III
In each step of God’s work, what’s required of mankind
is enormous confidence, enormous confidence
and coming before God to seek—
only through experience can people discover how lovable God is
and discover how the Holy Spirit works in people.
If you do not experience, if you do not feel your way through that,
if you do not seek, then you will gain nothing.
You must feel your way through your experiences,
and only through your experiences can you see God’s actions,
recognize His wondrousness, and recognize His unfathomableness.
