How you should treat God’s commissions is extremely important. This is a very serious matter. If you cannot complete what God has entrusted to you, then you are not fit to live in His presence and you should accept your punishment. It is perfectly natural and justified that humans complete the commissions God entrusts to them. This is man’s supreme responsibility, and is just as important as his very life. If you treat God’s commissions lightly, this is a most severe betrayal of God. In this, you are more deplorable than Judas, and you should be cursed.

People must gain a thorough understanding of how to treat God’s commissions and, at the very least, they must understand: God’s entrusting of commissions to man is His exaltation of man, His special showing of grace to man, it is the most glorious of things, and everything else can be abandoned—even one’s own life—but God’s commissions must be completed.
