Only when your relationship with God is normal, will you be able to attain perfection from God, and then will God’s discipline and refinement and pruning in you achieve the effect desired. You’re able to have a place for God in your heart, not seek your own benefits and think about the future. But you bear the burden of entering life, submit to God’s work and pursue God’s truth. This way, the aims you seek aren’t wrong, and you have a normal relationship with God. The first step to entry into one’s spiritual journey is fixing their relationship with God. Although man’s destiny is in God’s hands, ordained and can’t be changed by themselves, whether you can be made perfect or you can be gained by God depends on whether or not you have a normal relationship with God.

Perhaps parts of you are weak or disobedient, but if your outlook is right and motivations correct, if you have put right your relationship with God, then you will be qualified by God and made to be perfect. The first step to entry into one’s spiritual journey is fixing their relationship with God. Although man’s destiny is in God’s hands, ordained and can’t be changed by themselves, whether you can be made perfect or you can be gained by God depends on whether or not you have a normal relationship with God.

If you don’t have the right relationship with God, if you act for the sake of your family or flesh, then regardless of how hard you might work, it will be nothing and worthless. If your relationship with God is normal, it’s a good thing and everything else will fall into place and be right. God looks at only whether your viewpoints of belief in God are in the right way: who you believe in and for whose sake you believe, and why you believe— if you’re able to see, to see these clearly, right your views and practice, then your life will grow, and you will be on the right track. The first step to entry into one’s spiritual journey is fixing their relationship with God. Although man’s destiny is in God’s hands, ordained and can’t be changed by themselves, whether you can be made perfect or you can be gained by God depends on whether or not you have a normal relationship with God, you have a normal relationship with God, you have a normal relationship with God.
