891 God Cares Most for Those He Will Save
I
In this current age, God cannot wait to complete His plan
and save the people He wants to save.
Under these circumstances, what God cares about the most
is not how those who don’t follow Him at all
or those who oppose Him anyway
treat Him or resist Him,
or how mankind is slandering Him.
He only cares whether those who follow Him,
the objects of His salvation in His management plan,
have been made complete by Him,
whether they have become worthy of His satisfaction.
II
As for the people other than those who follow Him,
He merely occasionally provides
a bit of punishment to express His wrath,
a bit of punishment to express His wrath.
At the same time,
He is also strongly protecting and looking after
those who follow Him and are about to be saved by Him.
III
God’s disposition is this:
On one hand, He can give extreme patience and tolerance
to those He’ll make complete,
and He can wait for them for as long as He possibly can,
for as long as He possibly can;
on the other hand, God deeply hates and loathes the Satan-type of people
who don’t follow Him, and oppose Him.
Although God does not care whether
these Satan-types follow or worship Him,
He still detests them while having patience for them in His heart.
As He determines the ending of these Satan-types,
He is also waiting for the arrival of the steps of His management plan.
