The most important thing to focus on in one's faith is entering truth realities. In order to do so, the most basic thing someone should have is a sincere heart. It means not being slippery when things befall you, not considering your own interests, not plotting and scheming with others, and not playing deceitful games with God. If you can cheat God and lack sincerity toward Him, then you are completely done for and God will not save you. No matter how good your caliber appears to be, how smart or capable you are, the key point is about whether someone's heart loves the truth.

God does not look at what you say or promise before Him; He looks at whether what you do has truth reality. Also, God does not care how high, profound, or mighty your actions are, and even if you do a small little thing, if God sees sincerity in your every move, He shall say this person sincerely believes in Him, that they have never boasted, and that they conduct themselves according to their station.

Although you may not have made a great contribution, you are steadfast and have sincerity in all you do. This "sincerity" contains fear and submission to God, as well as true faith and love. Such people may seem unremarkable to others, haven't achieved anything great, and have nothing estimable, admirable or enviable about them—they are just ordinary people. And yet, all that God requires is found in them and lived out in them, and they give it all to God. God is satisfied with them.
