883 Only When God Became Flesh Does Man Have the Chance of Salvation
I
When you’ve experienced up to a certain day, you will understand
that the more normal God’s incarnation, His normal humanity,
all that He has and what He reveals,
the greater our salvation, and the more normal they are,
the more they are what we need.
If God’s incarnation were supernatural,
then none of those who live on earth would be able to attain salvation.
It’s precisely because of God’s humility and hiddenness,
because of the normality and practicality of this seemingly unremarkable God,
that mankind has the chance of salvation.
Because in people there is rebelliousness and satanic corrupt dispositions,
all kinds of notions, misunderstandings,
and conflicts toward God are produced;
as a result of these notions,
people even often intentionally deny this Christ,
and deny His normal humanity—this is a big mistake.
II
If you wish to attain salvation, if you wish to receive God’s salvation,
and the judgment and chastisement of God,
the judgment and chastisement of God,
you must first put aside your various notions and imaginings
and erroneous definitions about Christ’s normal humanity,
you must put aside your various views and opinions about Christ,
and you must think of a way to accept all that comes from Him.
Only then will the words He speaks and the truths He expresses
gradually find entry into your heart and become your life.
If you wish to follow Him, you should accept everything about Him;
whether His Spirit, His words, or His flesh, you should accept it all.
If you have truly accepted Him,
you should not stand in opposition to Him,
always misunderstanding and being rebellious toward Him
in reliance on your notions,
much less should you cling to your notions, always doubting Him
and even being conflictive and resistant toward Him.
This kind of attitude will only harm you
and it’s of no benefit to you at all, of no benefit to you at all.
