727 The Created Beings Should Submit to the Creator
I
There is a fundamental principle
of the Creator’s treatment of created beings,
which is also the highest principle, is also the highest principle.
How the Creator treats created beings
is completely based on His management plan and His work requirements;
He does not need to consult any single person,
nor to get any single person to agree with Him.
He does whatever He ought to do
and treats people however He ought to treat them,
and, no matter what He does or how He treats people,
it all accords with the truth principles,
and it all aligns with the principles by which the Creator works,
it all aligns with the principles by which the Creator works.
As a created being, the only thing to do is to submit to the Creator;
one should not make any choice of one’s own.
This is reason that created beings ought to have.
II
The Creator will always be the Creator;
He has the power and the qualifications
to orchestrate and hold sovereignty over any created being as He pleases,
and does not need a reason to do so.
This is His authority.
There is not one among the created beings
who has the right or is qualified to pass judgment
on whether what the Creator does is right or wrong,
or how He should act, how He should act.
No created being is entitled
to choose whether to accept the sovereignty and arrangements of the Creator;
and no created being is entitled to make demands of how the Creator
holds sovereignty over and arranges their fate.
This is the highest truth.
III
No matter what the Creator has done to His created beings,
and no matter how He has done it,
the humans He created should do only one thing:
seek, submit, know, and accept everything put in place by the Creator.
The final result will be that
the Creator will have accomplished His management plan and completed His work,
having caused His management plan to progress without any obstructions,
to progress without any obstructions;
meanwhile, because the created beings
have accepted and submitted to the Creator’s sovereignty and arrangements,
they will have gained the truth, understood the Creator’s intentions,
and come to know His disposition.
