1075 By Pursuing the Truth, Faith in God Gains Meaning
I
Where does the meaning of faith in God lie? It lies in the complete change of the path people walk, the complete change of their outlook on life, and their life direction and goals after they come to believe in God, and it lies in these things becoming totally different from those who don’t believe in God, from worldly people and devils, and the path believers walk being the total opposite of theirs. You want to be a good person, and to be someone who submits to God and who has a human likeness, so you should focus on striving for truth, and only then will you be able to change. If you don’t pursue the truth or practice the truth, then your faith in God has no meaning or value, your faith is an empty shell, an outright lie, just empty words, without any effect at all.
II
If you always believe in God relying on your notions and imaginings, if you always do things according to your preferences, you do whatever you want and indulge your flesh, then your thoughts and views, and the things that you do have nothing to do with the truth and nothing to do with what God requires, your faith in God is then meaningless and there’s no need for you to keep on believing. Even if you did keep on believing, it would be a waste of effort, and God would not save you.
