The Significance of Obeying God

Which Aspects Are Included in Obeying God

Obeying God includes several aspects. The first aspect, which is the most important, is to obey the work of God. Obeying the work of God includes eating and drinking and enjoying the entire word of God, especially the words of judgment and chastisement, the words of pruning and dealing, and the words that reveal mankind’s corrupt essence. These are the most important, but there are also various kinds of words of trials and refinements, such as the trial of “service-doers” and the trial of death. There are also words of particular judgments of God, words that have the quality of God’s chastisements and the quality of refining people, all of which are words that can cause men to undergo refinements.

Utterances of Christ of the Last Days

The Work of Spreading the Gospel Is Also the Work of Saving Man

All people need to understand the purpose of My work on earth, that is, the final objective of My work and what level I must achieve in this work before it can be complete. If, after walking along with Me to this day, people do not understand what My work is all about, then have they not been walking with Me in vain? People who follow Me should know My will. I have been working on earth for thousands of years, and to this day I am still doing My work in this way. Although there are exceptionally many items included in My work, the purpose of this work remains unchanged; just as, for example, even though I am filled with judgment and chastisement toward man, what I do is still for the sake of saving him, and for the sake of better spreading My gospel and further expanding My work among all the Gentile nations, once man has been made complete.

How Was I Conquered by the Word of God

83. Facts and Revelation Made Me Seek; God’s Word Made Me Fall Before Him

Zhang Lian

Zhumadian City, Henan Province

I was formerly a co-worker of the “Justification by Faith Church.” In the spring of 1999, the elder warned us at a co-workers’ meeting, “Now there is a sect called the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ It preaches that the Lord has come to China to work. It’s impossible at all! Zechariah 14:4 says, ‘And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east.’ So it’s exactly a heresy, a deceptive, false way! It’s said that they will be paid 2,000 yuan for converting a co-worker and 300 yuan for a common believer.

Typical Testimonies of the Christians and Catholics in Mainland China Who Turned to Almighty God Because of Being Punished for Resisting Almighty God

1. Yao XX, female, aged 42, from Henan Province, formerly a co-worker in the Justification by Faith Church. In October 1998, someone preached God’s end-time work to me and gave me a book of God’s word. Without carefully examining it, I consulted with the brothers and sisters in my former church, saying, “There are too many denominations in the last days, and we should not accept any of them blindly.” So I returned the book of God’s word to the person who preached the gospel.

The Words the Holy Spirit Speaks to the Churches | "Knowing God's Work Today"

Almighty God says, "The work done by God during this age is chiefly the provision of the words for the life of man, the disclosure of the substance of the nature of man and the corrupt disposition of man, the elimination of religious conceptions, feudal thinking, outdated thinking, as well as the knowledge and culture of man.

Christian Choir Song | Praise and Worship "The Kingdom" | Welcome the Return of God

The kingdom, the city of saints, Christ’s kingdom. In the kingdom, God’s riches and glory are made manifest. Lightning comes from the East and shines unto the West. The true light is here, God’s word has appeared in the flesh. The Savior has long since returned, descending on a white cloud. The saints have today been raptured before the throne to worship God.

Questions and Answers on the Inside Story of the Bible

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, Gospel Movies

Question (3): We think all of God’s word and work are recorded in the Bible. There’s no word and work of God apart from the Bible. Therefore, our faith in God must be based on the Bible. Is that wrong?

Answer: Many believers in religious circles feel that: “God’s word and work are all recorded in the Bible. There is no word or work of God apart from the Bible.” Does this saying conform with the facts? Do you dare say that every single piece of work performed by Jehovah in the Age of Law is entirely recorded in the Bible? Can you guarantee that all of the word and work of the Lord Jesus in the Age of Grace are entirely recorded in the Bible? What is the outcome if this view does not conform with the facts?

Questions and Answers on Dissecting the Essence of the Pharisees

the Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, the Bible

Question (4): Pastors in religious circles are all familiar with the Bible. They often interpret the Bible in churches and exalt the Bible. We’ve always thought that they should be people who know God. Then why has the work of God incarnate in the last days been furiously condemned and resisted by the majority of pastors in the religious world? I believe what the majority of pastors and leaders in the religious community condemn can’t possibly be the true way!

Answer: In investigating whether it is God’s work, we should not judge according to whether the majority of religious leaders accept it. Think back to when the Lord Jesus appeared to do His work. Who were the ones that crucified the Lord Jesus? Wasn’t it the religious leaders who were familiar with the Bible and often interpreted the Bible to others? What does this fact tell us? A person who is familiar with the Bible and can interpret the Bible isn’t necessarily someone who knows God’s work, and moreover not someone who can certainly be said to know God.

"Red Re-Education at Home" (7) - The CCP Slanders The Church of Almighty God as a "Human Organization": What's Their Motive?

Everyone who believes in the Lord knows that without the appearance and work of the Lord Jesus, there wouldn't be any believers or followers of the Lord. Even more, Christianity never would have come into being—no matter how gifted the apostles were, they could not have created the church. Likewise, The Church of Almighty God came into being entirely because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, Christ of the last days.

Christian English Movie | Chronicles of Religious Persecution in China "The Long Road of Exile"

Since it came to power in mainland China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been relentless in its persecution of religious faith. It has frantically arrested and murdered Christians, expelled and abused missionaries operating in China, confiscated and destroyed countless copies of the Bible, sealed up and demolished church buildings, and vainly attempted to eradicate all house churches….

Questions and Answers on the Truth of Incarnation

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, incarnation

Question (7): If the Lord Jesus is God Himself, then why is it that when the Lord Jesus prays, He still prays to God the Father? There is certainly a mystery here to unfold. Please commune for us.

Answer: There is truly mystery to the Lord Jesus calling God of heaven Father in His prayers. When God is incarnated in the flesh, God’s Spirit is hidden within the flesh, the flesh itself is unaware of the Spirit’s presence. Just as we cannot feel our spirits within us. What’s more, God’s Spirit does not do anything supernatural within His flesh. So, even though the Lord Jesus was God become flesh, if God’s Spirit had not spoken and testified to God Himself, the Lord Jesus could not have known that He was God’s incarnation.

Utterances of Christ of the Last Days

What Do You Know of Faith?

In man exists only the uncertain word of faith, yet man knows not what constitutes faith, much less why he has faith. Man understands too little and man himself is too lacking; he merely has faith in Me mindlessly and ignorantly. Though he knows not what faith is nor why he has faith in Me, he continues to do so obsessively. What I ask of man is not merely for him to obsessively call upon Me in this way or to believe in Me in a desultory fashion. For the work I do is for man to see Me and come to know Me, not for man to be impressed and look at Me in a new light because of My work. I previously manifested many signs and wonders and performed many miracles.

Christian Skit | "My Father, the Pastor" | A Truth Debate on the Bible (English Dubbed)

Chi Shou, a religious pastor who has been a believer in the Lord for forty years, has always held to the views that "all of the Lord's words and work are within the Bible," and that "belief in the Lord may not deviate from the Bible, and believing in the Bible means believing in the Lord."

English Christian Skit "Starving for Fear of Choking"

English Christian Skit "Starving for Fear of Choking"

In the matter of welcoming the Lord's coming, there are some in the religious world who close their door and wait alone for fear of being deceived by false Christs. They starve themselves for fear of choking, and cling to the words, "Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (Mat 24:23-24)
