The Creator intends to arrange His creatures,

so do not discard or disobey His deeds,

do not rebel against Him.

When the work He does fulfills His aims,

His glory will be achieved.

However God chastises man, it’s for his salvation.

If He strips his fleshly hopes, it’s for purification.

This purification is for man’s existence.

His judgment is all for man’s sake.

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

The fate of man is controlled by the hands of God.

You can’t control yourself, though you rush and haste.

If you knew your prospects, could control your fate,

would you still be a being whom God creates?

However God chastises man, it’s for his salvation.

If He strips his fleshly hopes, it’s for purification.

This purification is for man’s existence.

His judgment is all for man’s sake.

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

3

No matter how God works, it’s all for man’s sake.

Creation, the heavens, the earth, all serve man.

The seasons, moon, sun, and stars,

the creatures and the plants

are for the sake of man’s life, they are all for man.

However God chastises man, it’s for his salvation.

If He strips his fleshly hopes, it’s for purification.

This purification is for man’s existence.

His judgment is all for man’s sake.

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

So how could man control himself

if the Creator holds his fate?

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, came into being because of the appearance and work of Almighty God—the returned Lord Jesus—Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God Himself and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
