You may say you have been conquered, but can you submit unto death?

You must be able to follow to the very end

regardless of whether there are any prospects,

and you must not lose faith in God regardless of the environment.

You must not lose faith in God regardless of the environment.

Ultimately, you must achieve two aspects of testimony:

the testimony of Job—submission unto death;

and the testimony of Peter—the supreme love of God.

In one respect, you must be like Job:

He lost all material possessions, and was beset by the sickness of the flesh,

yet he did not forsake the name of Jehovah.

This was Job’s testimony. This was Job’s testimony.

Peter was able to love God unto death—

when he faced his death, he still loved God, when he was put on the cross, he still loved God.

He did not think of his own prospects or pursue beautiful hopes or extravagant thoughts,

or pursue beautiful hopes or extravagant thoughts,

and he sought only to love God and to submit to all of God’s arrangements.

Such is the standard you must achieve

before you can be considered to have borne testimony,

before you become someone who has been made perfect

after having been conquered.
