834 God Perfects Those Who Love Him Truly
I
God now wants to gain a certain group of people,
a group consisting of those who strive to cooperate with Him,
who can submit to His work,
who believe the words God speaks to be true,
and who can practice God’s requirements;
they’re those who have true understanding,
they’re the ones who can be perfected,
and they’ll surely be able to walk the path of perfection.
Those who cannot be perfected
are people without a clear understanding of God’s work,
who do not eat and drink of God’s words,
who pay no attention to them, and who have no God-loving heart.
Those who doubt God incarnate and are always uncertain about Him,
who never treat His words seriously and always deceive Him,
they’re people who resist God and belong to Satan;
there’s no way to perfect such people.
God works in those who pursue and treasure His words.
The more you treasure God’s words,
the more His Spirit will work in you.
The more a person treasures God’s words,
the greater their chance of being perfected.
God perfects those who truly love Him,
and those whose hearts are at peace before Him.
II
To treasure all of God’s work, to treasure God’s enlightenment,
to treasure God’s presence, God’s care and protection,
to treasure how God’s words become your reality and provide for your life—
all this accords best with God’s intentions.
Nothing is more important for believers than to receive God’s work,
gain perfection, and become those who follow God’s will.
Nothing is more important for believers than to receive God’s work,
gain perfection, and become those who follow God’s will.
This is the goal you should pursue.
