15 Only If We Know God’s Disposition Will We Not Offend God

Xiaojin    Baoji City, Shaanxi    Province

In most of us there exists such a state: Although we have gained some knowledge of what aspects of the corrupt nature we have and also have a general idea of what nature the corruptions we express are out of, nevertheless, when encountering things, we still relapse into our old nature and can never practice the truth, nor can any transformation be seen in us.

12 The Work of the Man Used by the Holy Spirit Is Led Completely by the Holy Spirit

Chao Wei    Hefei City, Anhui Province

We often hear some people in the church say, “The man used by the Holy Spirit is also a man, so his work is unavoidably mixed with man’s will.” For this reason, some people do not absolutely obey the work of the man used by the Holy Spirit nor cooperate with the arrangements from above actively on their own initiative. Some even despise or refuse to read the fellowship from above. Some do not express anything outwardly but resist in their hearts and are unwilling to accept.

Now, most brothers and sisters know in doctrine that only by pursuing the truth can they be saved by God.

9 It Is So Important to Change Our Viewpoints on Things

Xiaojie    Zhuanghe City, Liaoning Province

We have believed in God and followed God for many years, but even today our views and viewpoints on many things are still no different from the world’s and are not in harmony with God at all. For example, we think that those who do not steal or rob, who do good without letting anyone know, who take pleasure in helping others, or who do not oppose our believing in God, are good people.

8 Pay Attention to Entering into the Truth Concerning the “Service in Harmonious Coordination”

Xinyu    Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province

We all know that being able to serve in harmonious coordination is God’s requirement for us, but we seldom enter into it according to God’s requirement in our service in coordination. For example, in doing the work, we leaders just take charge of the work by ourselves and feel that our assistants do not play an important role. And when encountering some difficulties or handling some matters, we always try to find a solution ourselves and make the final decision ourselves.

Liu Yan    Wuhu City, Anhui Province

None of us who pursue the truth does not want to be delivered from satan’s corruption and affliction, and none is willing to be directed by the satanic nature and resist God.
