I

The first great thing when you believe in God is to eat and drink God's words to understand the truth, and by this, to enter into the truth reality without delay. Start with the things happening around you, what you can see and feel. Use God's word to reflect on yourself, seek the truth and solve all problems, and achieve real changes. The chance at salvation is very rare, and you must cherish every day and every minute.

You should often pray to God in your heart and get close to Him. Never let your heart be occupied by the wants of the flesh, by the trends of the world, and other such things. Instead, let God's words and the truth wield power in your heart, and your heart will begin to treasure the words of God. As long as God's words and the truth hold a place in your heart and lead your life, your life will have a goal and a light to guide it, and your heart will know enjoyment.

The words of God will, more and more, come to occupy your heart, lead your thoughts and actions, and lead your life. More and more, you will enter into the reality of God's words, and you will come to grasp more and more truth principles. Your actions will no longer be based on your own will and individual wants. Fewer and fewer impurities will be mixed up in your doing your duty, and you'll increasingly treat God with a sincere heart. Slowly, the doctrines you understand will transform into the truth reality. In this way, there will be a real change in your life disposition. Your hope of salvation will become increasingly great.
