795 Only by Discerning and Rejecting Satan Can One Completely Return Before God
I
Satan spreads heresies and fallacies to disturb and mislead people,
and does many things to disturb and destroy the work of God.
It instills some heresies and fallacies in people,
so that they live by them and oppose God, they live by them and oppose God.
Then God bases His words and work on the corruption of humankind,
exposes the heresies and fallacies that Satan uses to corrupt mankind,
judges people’s various corrupt dispositions
and allows people to discern the various thoughts and statements
Satan has instilled in them.
In this way, not only will people understand the truth and understand God,
but they will be able to discern Satan’s statements, thoughts and views,
and they will also be able to see through Satan’s disposition and essence,
as well as various evil deeds.
Using an understanding of the truth as their foundation,
people will be able to discern and reject Satan
more accurately and with greater strength.
II
People will no longer be misled by Satan,
or be taken captive and swallowed up by it a second time.
They will be more able to believe in and confirm God’s existence and identity,
and the fact that He holds sovereignty over all creatures and things.
Then, a God-fearing heart will arise in them
and they will truly submit to God, truly submit to God.
God will win their hearts or, to be more accurate,
God will gain them, God will gain them.
When people reach this stage,
they will no longer be misled and used by Satan.
Rather, they will be able to thoroughly discern Satan,
see through it and reject it from the depths of their hearts.
They will confess that they are God’s created beings,
willingly accept the sovereignty and orchestrations of the Creator,
and will thus have completely returned to God,
will thus have completely returned to God.
