1231 God Uses His Words to Fulfill All His Work in the Last Days
I
God’s entire disposition is revealed in His work; the disposition of God in the flesh today is still embodied through His work. Thus, His ministry is one of words, not what He does outwardly. Ultimately, everyone will gain edification from God’s words and be made complete because of them. In their experience, guided by God’s words, people will obtain a path to practice, and through the words of God’s mouth they will come to know His entire disposition. Because of His words, all of God’s work will be fulfilled, people will come alive, and all enemies will be defeated. This is the primary work, which no one can ignore.
II
As soon as God opens His mouth, words come out. He accomplishes everything through words, all things are transformed by them, and everyone is renewed through them. Not a single thing can escape God’s words. He uses them to lay bare people’s minds and He uses them to depict their ugliness; He uses words to prune their old natures and make all His people complete. Is this not precisely the importance of God’s words? In the entire universe, without the support and fortification of God’s words, all mankind would long ago have been destroyed to the point of nonexistence. This is the principle of what God does, and the method in which He works during His six-thousand-year management plan. This shows the importance of God’s words.
