Because of faith, we are forgiven of sins; because of faith, we follow Christ till today. The website, Follow Christ, provides the latest information about the truth of Christ's return.
Intro I’ve seen world’s evil and darkness clearly, and will no longer follow its trends blindly.
Verse 1 Only Almighty God can save man; my heart tells me it’s true. Why can’t I accept the truth, follow Him? Why am I still aloof? Have I sunk so low I’ll be destroyed as an ignorant fool?
I If you believe in God’s rule, you must know that all things don’t happen just by chance. God arranges everything. What does God do it for? What is His final aim? It is not to lay you bare, but to perfect and save. How does God perfect and save you? By showing you your corruption, your nature, your essence, your faults. Know these things, and you will cast them off.
In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus did the work of redemption that absolved us of all our sins. As long as we accept the Lord Jesus as our Savior and pray and confess our sins to the Lord, then our sins will be absolved and we will be saved through our faith. So what exactly does “being saved” here mean? Can we be raptured and enter the kingdom of heaven by believing in the Lord, coming under His grace and being saved?
Verse 1 People judge people by behavior: good conduct, righteous; bad conduct, wicked. Some wish to use good deeds to obtain a good future. Some try to use fine words to obtain a favored end. Wrongly, they believe that God determines outcomes by watching their behavior or listening to their speech. Many wish to use good deeds, or the fine words they say, they try deceiving God to gain a momentary favor.
In this age, and among you, God shall accomplish the following fact: that every person shall live out the words of God, shall be able to put truth into practice, and shall love God earnestly; that all people shall use the words of God as a foundation and as their reality, and shall have hearts that revere God; and that, through practicing the words of God, man shall then wield kingly power together with God. This is the work to be achieved by God. God uses words to govern people; you feel good if you eat and drink the words of God, and if you do not, you have no path to follow. The words of God become people’s food, and the force that drives them.
The Sun of righteousness rises in the East. Oh God! Your glory fills heaven and earth. My beautiful beloved, Your love surrounds me. Those who seek truth all love God. In the early morning, though I rise alone, joy’s in my heart as I ponder God’s words. His gentle words, like a loving mother. His words of judgment, like a father’s reproof.

Do you know how God carries out the work of judging and purifying man?
Fan Guoyi was an elder of a house church in China. In his over twenty years of service, he always emulated Paul, sacrificing for the Lord zealously and working hard. He firmly believed that he was doing the will of the heavenly Father by pursuing that way and he would surely be raptured to the kingdom of heaven at the return of the Lord. However, when Almighty God’s end-time salvation came upon him, he clung to his notions, rejecting, resisting, and condemning it time and time again…. Later, after several debates with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, Fan Guoyi finally woke up. He truly understood the meaning of doing the will of the heavenly Father and the way of pursuing to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven….
At every thought of the past, the memories were stinging in his heart….
Those who only think of their flesh and comforts, those whose faith is uncertain, those who practice witchcraft and sorcery, lecherous ones, tattered and worn, those who steal from God, taking sacrifices, who love bribes or idly dream of heaven, those arrogant and proud, striving for fame and wealth, those who spread impious words, those unrepentant people trapped in sin, are they not beyond salvation? Those unrepentant people trapped in sin, are they not beyond salvation?
