The Hymn of God's Word "The Words God Bestows on Men Are the Ways They Should Keep"

        I

Throughout every age, when God does His work on earth, He always bestows some words upon humankind, He tells them some truths. These truths serve as the way man should adhere to, the way which man should keep. It’s the way that leads man to fear God and shun evil, and something in their lives, and in life’s journey, that they should practice, should adhere to. These are the reasons that God bestows His words upon them.

        II

These words come from God, they come from God Himself, so men should adhere. If they do, they will receive life; if men do not follow, or practice them, if they don’t live out, these words of God in their lives, then they are not practicing the truth. Not practicing truth means they’re not, fearing God and shunning evil, then they cannot satisfy God. Not satisfying God means not receiving God’s praise, then such a man will have no outcome.

    Eastern Lightning| The Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “Almighty God”—in China, and it isn't established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading Almighty God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

The Hymn of God's Word

God Puts His Hope Completely on Man

I

From the beginning until now, only man's able to converse with God. That is, only man is able to converse with God, among all living things and what He created. Man has ears to hear, and eyes to see; he has thoughts, and language, as well as his free will. Man has all abilities that are required to hear God speak and understand God's will, and accept God's commission, and accept the commission from God, and so God puts all His hope on man. He wants to make man a companion of His, who is of the same heart and mind with Him, and who can walk together with Him.

II

Since God started His management, God's been waiting for man to give his heart, give his heart to Him all the time, to let Him purify and equip it, to make man satisfy God, loved by God, to make man fear God and shun evil. God's been expecting and waiting, waiting for this outcome all the time, to make man satisfy God, loved by God, to make man fear God and shun evil. God's been expecting and waiting, waiting for this outcome all the time.

                           from "God's Work, God's Disposition, and God Himself II" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Every time I listen to this hymn, I feel God is so closed to me. Among all living things, though many animals also own eyes, ears, only men have Jehovah’s breath and free will which is the most precious thing. Though a little blooming lily can also testify God’s deed with its vitality and beautiful petals, it is different from a man who owns free will to choose. At the beginning, man betrayed God and was beguiled by Satan. As time passes by, man grows wicked and numb. However, God’s three-stage work has aroused our consciousness and desire to return to Him and satisfy Him. Till now, God has gained a group of people who are conquered by his word. It manifests that God's painstaking care and hope in saving mankind never changes. What God wants is not a robot, but a man who can satisfy and testify Him willingly. Therefore, God’s sincerity is worth of our adoration, isn’t it?
