I

Christ of the last days uses a variety of truths to teach man,

to expose the substance of man,

and to dissect the words and deeds of man,

to dissect the words and deeds of man.

These words comprise various truths,

such as man's duty, how man should submit to God,

how man should be loyal to God,

how man ought to live out normal humanity,

as well as the wisdom and the disposition of God, and so on.

These words are all directed at the substance of man

and his corrupt disposition, his corrupt disposition.

In particular, the words that expose how man spurns God

are spoken in regard to how man is an embodiment of Satan,

and an enemy force against God.

II

In undertaking His work of judgment,

God does not simply make clear the nature of man with a few words;

He exposes and prunes over the long term.

All these different methods of exposure, and pruning

cannot be substituted with ordinary words,

but with the truth of which man is utterly bereft.

Only methods such as these can be called judgment;

only through judgment of this kind can man be subdued

and thoroughly convinced about God,

and moreover gain true knowledge of God.

III

What the work of judgment brings about

is man's understanding of the true face of God

and the truth about his own rebelliousness.

The work of judgment allows man

to gain much understanding of the intentions of God,

of the purpose of God's work,

and of the mysteries that are incomprehensible to him.

It also allows man to recognize and know

his corrupt essence and the roots of his corruption,

as well as to discover the ugliness of man.

These effects are all brought about by the work of judgment,

for the essence of this work is actually the work of opening up

the truth, the way, and the life of God

to all those who have faith in Him.

This work is the work of judgment done by God.
