I

Submission to the work of God must be real and actual, and it must be lived out. Superficial submission alone cannot receive God's approval, and merely submitting to the superficial aspects of God's word, without seeking change in one's disposition, is not in line with God's intentions. Those who submit only to God but not to His work cannot be deemed submissive, much less those who do not truly submit but are outwardly sycophantic. Those who truly submit to God are all able to gain from the work, and achieve understanding of the disposition and work of God. Only such people truly submit to God. Such people are able to gain new knowledge, and undergo new changes, from new work. Only these people are approved of by God, only these people are perfected, and only these are the ones whose dispositions have changed.

II

Those who are approved of by God are those who gladly submit to God, and to His word and work. Only such people are in the right, only such people sincerely want God, and sincerely seek God. As for those who merely speak of their faith in God with their mouths, but in essence curse Him, they are people who mask themselves; they are the most treacherous of all. Sooner or later, these scoundrels will have their vile masks ripped away. Is this not the work that is being done today? Evil men will always be evil, and will never escape the day of punishment. Good men will always be good, and will be revealed when God's work comes to an end. Not one of the evil shall be deemed righteous, nor any one of the righteous deemed evil. Would I let any man stand wrongfully accused?
