The Way For Students - 176 Chapter 5. Man Of Faith Section 1. Life Of Faith 4. The Attitude Of Faith
2) Absolute Faith
④ Absolute Obedience
What will happen in the Last Days? If world Christianity brings victory representing 6,000 years of sorrow and pain, the Lord of the Second Advent will have nothing to do with sorrow, pain and misery.
But if worldwide Christianity fails to lay that foundation, the coming Lord will endure sorrow, pain and misery for the sake of the believers. This is just like the situation of Jesus Christ, who came to the Jewish people who had been prepared by God. Yet they failed to carry out their responsibility, and Jesus had to taste the bitterness of pain and sorrow. You must know this.
If you are called upon this foundation after the indemnity has been paid, you must obey absolutely. Until when must you absolutely obey? Until God's sovereignty over one nation is restored, and all fallen culture has disappeared. How long should the Israelites have obeyed Moses?
They should have obeyed him absolutely until they had eliminated the seven tribes in Canaan. Noah's family too had to obey Noah absolutely. Until when? For three generations; that is, down to his grandchildren.
Do you know why the words "absolute obedience centered on God" came to exist? Fallen mankind finds these words distasteful, but to God. they are very pleasant. You must know this.
So religions tell you to determine your mind, and centered on that determination, to go straight. In order to go straight to the goal you must obey absolutely. No obedience means no success. Obedience will bring success. That's the way it is.
You have to have absolute faith, absolute obedience, and absolute love. These are the three conditions. Absolute what? Absolute faith, absolute obedience and absolute love. The word "absolute" includes one faith, one obedience and one love |
