Believers in God must understand what the truth is. The truth is the way that should be followed by people in all places and in all eras. It’s the way that all should follow. Regardless of whether people are able or willing, the truth is the way that all of humanity—corrupted humanity and that which is uncorrupted by Satan alike, today’s humanity and tomorrow’s alike—should follow. This is because the truth is the right way and the reality of all positive things—it’s the reality of positive things that all created beings should follow.

II

When the truth conflicts with your thoughts, views, or disposition, you should choose to submit. This is the truth of submission. Regardless of whether you want to practice the truth or not, whether you think it’s right or wrong, whatever your point of view may be, and regardless of how you view God’s words and God’s demands, you should accept, submit to, and practice them. This is submission, as well as the truth of submission. People cannot put the truth into practice because they have corrupt dispositions. It is not the case that if someone cannot practice the truth, then it is not the truth and it becomes empty words. This belief is mistaken and absurd.

The essence of the truth never changes. Even if you cannot put it into practice, the truth is still the way that people should follow and the correct path. You cannot say that the truth is incorrect if one person can’t put it into practice no matter how hard they try. If ten thousand people cannot put it into practice, the truth is still correct. Even if no one can put it into practice, the truth is still correct. The truth never changes. Only the truth can enable humankind to live normally, to live before God, and to receive His approval and blessing. This is the truth and this is the result that can be achieved by accepting the truth.
