967 God’s Essence Is Holy
I
There is no deceit in God, no falsity.
God is faithful, God is faithful,
and He is true in everything He does.
He is the only One that people can count on;
He is the God to whom people can entrust their lives and everything they have.
This is because man cannot see
one trace of Satan’s corrupt disposition in God.
All that God does and reveals is wholly beneficial,
is wholly beneficial and helps man,
is done wholly to provide for man, is full of life
and gives man a road to follow and a direction to take.
Since God has none of the corrupt disposition of mankind,
nor anything akin to corrupt mankind’s satanic essence
from this point of view it can be said that God is holy,
from this point of view it can be said that God is holy.
II
God does not display any corruption,
and at the same time as God works,
God reveals His own essence, His own essence,
which entirely confirms that God Himself is holy.
Firstly there is no trace of corrupt disposition in God,
and secondly the essence of God’s work on man
allows man to see God’s own essence, and this essence is entirely positive.
For the things that every part of God’s work brings to man are all positive.
The result of all of this is that man is no longer misled by Satan,
will no longer continue to be harmed or controlled by Satan.
In other words, these things allow people to completely,
to completely free themselves from the corruption of Satan,
and therefore gradually walk the path of fearing God and shunning evil,
gradually walk the path of fearing God and shunning evil.
