What Is God’s Will Behind the Parable of the Master and Servant?

What Is God’s Will Behind the Parable of the Master and Servant?

Jan 18, 2019

By Wang Yan, China

Ever since we were baptized and returned to the Lord, we have often heard our pastors and elders say, “The apostle Paul said, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing’ (2 Timothy 4:7–8). As long as we forsake everything, work, suffer and expend for the Lord, and endure to the end, when the Lord returns, we will gain the crown of glory and be lifted up into the kingdom of heaven.”

Why Do Christians Still Sin After Being Saved?

Do You Know the True Significance of the Lord Jesus’ Redemption?

Jan 20, 2019

By Xiaomo, China

The mention of “Jesus’ Redemption” always fills us with gratitude to the Lord. Two thousand years ago, to redeem us from the hands of Satan, the Lord Jesus was crucified and sacrificed for the sins of humanity, thereby forgiving all our sins. When we sin, as long as we repent and confess our sins to the Lord, our sins are forgiven, and we enjoy peace and joy. But recently, some brothers and sisters have been confused: Although our sins are forgiven by the Lord, we have never been able to escape the bondage of sin, we often lie and deceive, we are stuck in the cycle of sinning and confessing, and we cannot keep the Lord’s teachings. The Bible clearly tells us, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:26). We know clearly that we can sin involuntarily despite knowing our actions go against God’s will, and that if we merely repent without changing, the sacrifice for our sins is useless. Like this, can we truly be directly raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord comes? But there are also some brothers and sisters who believe that although we often sin, the Lord has forgiven our sins and does not see us as sinners, and when the Lord returns, we will be raptured into the kingdom of heaven! So, will we be raptured into the kingdom of heaven? Let’s explore the issue together.

Jan 10, 2019

By Tian Tian, China

God’s Blessings and Wrath Toward King Solomon

God’s Blessings and Wrath Toward King Solomon

Jan 7, 2019

In the biblical record of King Solomon, he had received great blessings from God, becoming the wisest king in all of history. Israel achieved unprecedented prosperity and flourishing during his reign. However, King Solomon incurred the wrath of Jehovah God by becoming depraved and suffered rejection and condemnation by God.

Let’s explore the story of Solomon together.

A Different Age, Different Divine Work

Gospel Song | "A Different Age, Different Divine Work" | Do You Know the Work of God in the New Age?

In the last days, it’s mainly the fact

that “the Word becomes flesh”

that’s accomplished by God.

I

Through His actual work on earth,

God causes man to know Him,

causes man to engage with Him,

and makes man see His actual deeds.

He makes man clearly see

that He sometimes does or doesn’t

display signs and perform wonders.

This is dependent on the age.

This shows that God’s capable

of displaying signs and wonders,

but He changes His working

based on His work and on the age.

’Cause it’s a different age

and a different stage of God’s work,

the deeds that God makes plain are different.

Man’s belief in God is not in signs, wonders or miracles,

but in His real work during the new age, during the new age.

Saved in a Different Way

Saved in a Different Way

By Huang Lin, China

I used to be an ordinary believer in the Pentecostal Church, and ever since I started believing in the Lord I never once missed a meeting. In particular, it was now the time of the last days and the prophecies in the Bible about the Lord’s return had basically been fulfilled. The Lord would soon return, and so I attended meetings even more enthusiastically, eagerly looking forward to His return, lest I miss my chance to meet with the Lord.

True Faith Comes Only From Knowing God

Christian Music 2019 | "True Faith Comes Only From Knowing God" 

God’s work now is to speak, no more signs, nor wonders. It’s not the Age of Grace. God is normal and real. In the last days He’s not the supernatural Jesus, but a practical God in flesh, no different from man. So man’s belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds. Yes, it is God’s utterance that conquers and perfects man. Signs and wonders aren’t the root of their faith. Yes, it’s God’s deeds that make man know Him.

Judgment Is the Light

March 3, 201567

By Zhao Xia, Shandong Province

My name is Zhao Xia. I was born into an ordinary family. Due to the influence of dictums like “A man leaves his name behind wherever he stays, just as a goose utters its cry wherever it flies,” and “As a tree lives for its bark, a man lives for his face,” reputation and face became particularly important to me. Everything I did was to earn other people’s praise, compliments, and admiration.

God’s Work and Man’s Work

God’s Work and Man’s Work

How much of the work of man is the work of the Holy Spirit and how much is man’s experience? Even now, it can be said that people still do not understand these questions, which is all because people do not understand the working principles of the Holy Spirit.

New 2018 Gospel Song "The Purpose of God's Management Work"

New 2018 Gospel Song "The Purpose of God's Management Work"

I

God has a 6,000-year management plan, split into three phases, each called an age.

Age of Law first, then Age of Grace, and the Age of Kingdom is the final phase.

While God’s work differs in each, it all accords to what mankind needs,

or to be more precise, it accords to the tricks used by Satan while battling Him.

As a Christian Believing in God, Regularly Attending Gatherings Cannot Be Neglected! (Audio Essay)

June 17, 2018162

Xiaogao

Hello brothers and sisters of Spiritual Q&A,

I get very tired from working during the day, and I do not sleep very well at night. As a result, I am not willing to make it to gatherings on time. I do not like to be restricted. I feel that if I have spiritual needs, as long as I look for my brothers and sisters to chat with during those times, it should be fine. I wonder what the cause of this issue is. How should I resolve this?

In 1991, since we were enduring the hardships of family conflict, my husband and I believed in the Lord Jesus together. From then on, we no longer quarreled. We read the Bible and attended gatherings together very zealously. Not long afterward, my husband left the Three-Self Church and switched over to the Stream of Recovery.

With Life Hanging by a Thread, the Hand of God Came to the Rescue (Audio Essay)

Ling Wu, Japan

“If I were not saved by God, I would still be drifting in this world,

struggling hard and painfully in sin, every day bleak and hopeless.

If I were not saved by God, I’d still be crushed below the devil’s feet,

snared in sin and its enjoyments, ignorant of what my life would be.

It’s Almighty God who saves me; all God’s words have purified my heart.

Whenever I saw these words spoken by God, I felt anxious: “Every sentence I have spoken contains within it the disposition of God. You would do well to ponder My words carefully, and you will surely profit greatly from them” (“It Is Very Important to Understand God’s Disposition” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
