979 What God Thinks of Man’s Deeds
I
God hopes that you prepare a sufficiency of good deeds
for your own destination.
Then will God be satisfied;
otherwise, none of you can escape the disaster that will befall you.
The disaster originates with God and is of course orchestrated by Him.
If you cannot appear as good in God’s eyes,
then you will not escape suffering the disaster.
In the midst of tribulation,
your actions and deeds were not considered entirely appropriate,
for your faith and love were hollow,
and you only showed yourselves to be either timid or tough.
Regarding this, God will only make a judgment of good or bad.
II
God’s concern continues to be
the way in which each of you acts and expresses yourself,
on the basis of which He shall determine your end,
on the basis of which He shall determine your end.
However, God must make this clear:
Toward those who showed Him not the slightest loyalty
during times of tribulation,
He shall be merciful no more,
for His mercy only extends so far.
Furthermore, God has no liking for anyone who has once betrayed Him,
much less does He like to associate
with those who sell out the interests of their friends.
This is God’s disposition,
regardless of who the person may be.
God must tell you this: Anyone who breaks His heart
shall not receive clemency from Him a second time,
and anyone who has been loyal to Him shall forever remain in His heart.
God must tell you this: Anyone who breaks His heart
shall not receive clemency from Him a second time,
and anyone who has been loyal to Him
shall forever remain in His heart, forever remain in His heart.
