I

Though mankind has been subjected to much of the ravaging of Satan, and is no longer Adam and Eve who were created in the beginning, but is instead full of things that are antagonistic to God, such as knowledge, imaginings, notions, and so on, and full of satanic corrupt dispositions, in the eyes of God, it is still the mankind that He created. Mankind is still under the sovereignty and orchestrations of God, and still lives within the course set out by God, and so in the eyes of God, mankind, who has been corrupted by Satan, is merely covered in dirt, with a rumbling tummy, reactions that are a little slow, and a memory that has somewhat deteriorated, and is slightly older, that is all—whereas all the functions and instincts of man are completely intact. This is the mankind that God intends to save.

This mankind has but to hear the call of the Creator, and hear the voice of the Creator, and they will be able to stand up and rush to locate the source of this voice. This mankind has but to see the figure of the Creator and they will disregard all else and forsake everything in order to expend themselves for God, and will even lay down their lives for Him. When mankind comprehends from their hearts the voice of the Creator's heart, they will discard Satan and come to the side of the Creator; when mankind has completely washed the dirt from their bodies, and has once more received the Creator's nourishment and provision, the memory of mankind will be restored, and at this time mankind will have truly returned to the dominion of the Creator.
