I

Dissecting and discerning the erroneous views of traditional culture

and the fetters and bondage of satanic philosophies according to God’s words

can enable one to understand the truth and develop discernment.

It enables one to cast off Satan’s influence

and be liberated from the bondage of sin.

In this way, God’s words and the truth become your life,

replacing that old life of yours,

whose essence was satanic philosophies and dispositions.

You will then have become a different person.

It’s a new person who has emerged,

one who takes God’s words and the truth as their life.

II

When you first start practicing the truth,

there will be difficulties, obstacles, and pain,

but if you can seek the truth to resolve your difficulties

until you’ve established a foundation in God’s words,

then the pain will cease,

and as your life goes on, you will grow happier and more at ease.

The influence and control of those negative things within you

will gradually subside,

and as they do,

more and more of God’s words and the truth will enter into you,

and the impression of God’s words and truths in your heart

will become more and more profound.

Your awareness in seeking the truth will become stronger and keener,

and when things befall you,

your inner path of practice, direction and goal will grow clearer and clearer.

III

When you battle internally,

positive things will gain ever more of the upper hand.

The happiness of your life will increase,

the happiness of your life will increase,

and the peace and joy that you receive from God will also increase.

Fewer things in your life will cause you to be troubled, anguished,

depressed, and resentful, among other negative emotions.

In place of these things, God’s words will become your life,

bringing you hope, happiness, joy, freedom, liberation, and honor.

When these positive things increase, people will change completely.

When these positive things increase, people will change completely.
