976 Everything God Does Is for the Sake of Man
I
God comes to do His work of saving people to bestow blessings on humankind
and bring people to a beautiful destination.
Everything that God does is for people to gain the truth and to gain life,
so that they can be qualified to receive God’s promise and blessings.
However, people have been deeply corrupted by Satan
and have corrupt dispositions,
and must suffer a great deal in order to gain the truth and life.
If everyone pursues personal interests
and wants to live a good life to satisfy the extravagant desires of the flesh,
but doesn’t put effort into pursuing the truth,
they will be unable to obtain the truth, and unable to be purified and saved,
they must all die in the disasters.
II
God requires people to forgo fleshly interests and pursue the truth.
This is for the sake of people, for the sake of people,
this is for the sake of their lives,
and for the sake of their salvation, for the sake of their salvation.
Once people obtain the truth and are saved,
God’s promise and blessings will come at any time.
No matter how legitimate you think your wishes and aspirations are,
what God wants isn’t this, it’s not this kind of pursuit.
God doesn’t want you to pursue this way.
If you insist on sticking to your own course,
then your final outcome will not only be that you end up empty-handed,
but that you will embark upon a path of resisting God.
You will resist God, lash out at God and oppose Him,
and stand in opposition to Him,
and the outcome will be destruction, the outcome will be destruction.
