738 The Practical Meaning of God’s Words Carrying Authority
I
In the last days, during the time in which God incarnate saves man,
God does not display any signs and wonders,
He does not perform any work that goes beyond
the boundaries of practicality or reality,
but rather He uses words to provide for people’s lives
and to expose people and cleanse them of their corruption.
God’s words are life, God’s words are life,
and they can provide for the living of corrupted mankind
and provide everything corrupted mankind needs for life,
provide everything corrupted mankind needs for life.
In terms of power and authority,
God’s words can change mankind’s living conditions,
change their thoughts and views,
change their heart that has been deeply corrupted by Satan;
furthermore, they can change the path they’ve chosen and their life direction,
and even change their outlook on life and values.
II
As long as you accept God’s words and submit to God’s words
and, it can even be said, as long as you love and pursue God’s words,
then no matter what your caliber is like,
or what the goal of your pursuit is,
or how great your determination to pursue is,
or how great your faith is,
God’s words can definitely change you,
God’s words can definitely change you,
enable your outlook on life and your values to change,
enable your thoughts and your views on people and things to change,
and ultimately enable your life disposition to change.
Not only can God’s words provide for people’s lives
and provide them with what they need
but, more importantly, God’s words cannot be changed by any force,
God’s words cannot be changed by any force.
III
Because God’s words carry authority,
and the authority of God’s words cannot be transcended by any worldly theory,
philosophy, or knowledge, or any argument, thought, or view—
this is the practical meaning of God’s words carrying authority,
and this is clearly exhibited in all those who follow God.
God’s words carry authority
and can change mankind’s hearts and thoughts.
More importantly,
they can cleanse and dispel the corrupt dispositions
Satan has planted deep inside people’s innermost hearts—
this is the power of God’s words,
this is the power of God’s words.
