The way of life is not something that any person can possess, nor is it something that every person can easily attain. This is because life can only come from God, only God Himself possesses the essence of life, and only God Himself has the way of life. And so only God is the source of life, and the ever-flowing wellspring of the living water of life. Ever since He created the world, God has done a great deal of work that bears with it the vitality of life, He has done much work that brings life to man, and He has paid numerous prices that enable man to gain life. This is because God Himself is eternal life, and God Himself is the way by which man can be resurrected.

God is never absent from the heart of man, and He lives among people at all times. He is the driving force of man's living, the root of man's survival, and a rich resource for man's survival after birth. He enables man to be reborn, and enables him to tenaciously live in his every role. Relying on His power and His inextinguishable life force, man has lived for generation after generation, while the power of God's life has consistently been providing support among man, and God has paid a price that no ordinary man has ever paid.

God's life force can prevail over any power; even more so, it surpasses any power. His life is eternal, His power extraordinary, and His life force cannot be overwhelmed by any created being or enemy force. The life force of God exists and shines with brilliant radiance regardless of time or place. Heaven and earth may undergo great changes, but God's life is forever the same. All things may pass away, but God's life will still exist, for God is the source of the survival of all things and the root of their survival. Ever since He created the world, God has done a great deal of work that bears with it the vitality of life, He has done much work that brings life to man, and He has paid numerous prices that enable man to gain life. This is because God Himself is eternal life, and God Himself is the way by which man can be resurrected.
