If you accept God’s commission, can obey the arrangements of God’s house, and take serious responsibility for performing your duty well, your relationship with God will be normal. You will be a created being, you will be able to submit to the arrangements of the Creator, and in your heart accept God as the Savior, and you will be a target of His salvation. Your relationship with Him will be at this level. If you are always just laboring, if no matter what commission God entrusts to you, you always perform it with a perfunctory attitude, without accepting the truth principles and without genuine submission, only knowing to toil and work, going through the motions when you do things, then you are truly a laborer.

Because those who are laborers do not accept the truth, and they never undergo even the slightest amount of change, their relationship with God is forever that of employees and their employer. They will never truly submit to God, and God will not recognize them as believers or as those who are of Him. This is the consequence of them believing in God without pursuing the truth; it is decided by the path they walk. If you want to improve your relationship with God, you must walk the path of pursuing the truth.
