700 Changes in Disposition Are Mainly Changes in Nature
I
Transformation in disposition
mainly refers to the transformation of a person’s nature.
The things of a person’s nature cannot be perceived from external behaviors.
They are directly related to the worth and significance of man’s existence,
related to their outlook on life and to their values,
they involve the things in the depths of man’s soul, and man’s essence.
II
If a person cannot accept the truth,
they will undergo no transformation in these aspects.
Only by experiencing God’s work, fully entering the truth,
changing one’s values and one’s outlooks on existence and life,
aligning one’s views on things with God’s word,
aligning one’s views on things with God’s word,
and becoming capable of completely submitting to and being loyal to God,
can one’s disposition be said to have changed.
III
Regardless of how people, events, and things around you may change
and regardless of how the world may be turned upside down,
if the truth is guiding you from within, if it has taken root within you
and God’s words guide your life, preferences,
experiences and existence, at that point you’ll have truly transformed,
experiences and existence, at that point you’ll have truly transformed.
