753 God’s Purpose in Arranging Environments for Man
I
God’s objective in arranging environments for man is,
in one respect, to allow people to experience various things
in a multitude of ways,
to learn lessons from them,
to enter the various truth realities contained in the word of God;
it’s to enrich people’s experiences,
and to help them gain a more comprehensive and multi-faceted
understanding of God, of themselves,
of their environments, and of humanity.
In another respect,
God wants people to maintain a normal relationship with Him
by orchestrating some special environments
and arranging some special lessons for them.
This way, people come before Him more frequently,
rather than living in a godless state,
saying that they believe in God,
but acting in a way that has nothing to do with God or the truth,
which will lead to trouble.
II
In the environments arranged by God,
people are, in fact, reluctantly and passively
brought before God by God Himself.
This shows the thoughtful consideration of God.
The more you lack understanding in a certain matter,
the more you should have a God-fearing and pious heart,
and frequently come before God to seek God’s intentions and the truth,
to seek God’s intentions and the truth.
When you don’t understand things,
that’s when you need God’s enlightenment and guidance.
When you encounter things that you don’t understand,
you need to ask God to work more upon you.
These are God’s thoughtful consideration.
The more you come before God, the closer your heart will be to God.
The closer your heart is to God, the more God will dwell within it.
The closer your heart is to God, the more God will dwell within it.
The more God is in a person’s heart,
the better their pursuit and the path they walk will become,
and the better the state in their heart will become,
the better the state in their heart will become.
