Is the Viewpoint “God Became Man So That Man Might Become God” Right?

Dear Sister Xiuli,

How is everything going? After we explored the topic “God became man that man might become God” last time, I was confused about whether man could really become God. So I brought my confusion before the Lord and kept praying and seeking for His enlightenment. Thank the Lord for His guidance. At a co-workers meeting, through discussing with my co-workers, I gained great light, which I am eager to share with you. That’s why I am writing this letter.

Part One Utterances of Christ in the Beginning —The Words of the Holy Spirit to the Churches (February 11, 1991 to November 20, 1991) Chapter 4

Chapter 4

We shall always be watching and waiting, be quiet in spirit and seek with a pure heart. Whatever befalls us, we must not blindly fellowship. We only need to be quiet before God and in constant fellowship with Him and then His intentions will be revealed to us. Our spirit must always be ready to differentiate and it must be keen and unyielding. We must draw from the living water before God, the water that slakes the thirst of our parched spirit. We must be ready at all times to cleanse ourselves from our self-righteousness, our arrogance, our self-satisfaction, and our complacency, each born from our satanic disposition. We must open our hearts to accept the word of God, we must rely on His words as we go about our lives. We must experience and be certain about His word and achieve an understanding of His word, allowing His word to be our life. This is our calling! We triumph only when we live by God’s word.

Chapter 5

Mountains and rivers keep changing, streams flow along their course, and man’s life is less enduring than the earth and sky. Only Almighty God is the eternal resurrected life, through generations eternally living! All things and events are in His hands, Satan is under His feet.

Today it is due to God’s predestined selection that He has saved us from Satan’s grip. He is truly our Redeemer. The eternal resurrected life of Christ is wrought inside us, so we are destined to connect with God’s life, can be with Him face to face, eat Him, drink Him, and enjoy Him. This is God’s painstaking and selfless dedication.

3 Ways to Get Closer to God

By Qingxin 

The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). As believers in God, we all know that building a normal relationship with God in order to get closer to God and receive more of the Holy Spirit’s work is crucial. In the fast-paced modern life, however, busy jobs, complicated relationships and evil social trends draw us in and occupy our hearts more and more, and they prevent us from quieting ourselves before God. This causes our relationship with God to become ever more distant and causes us to often feel empty and agitated in the depths of our souls. So how exactly can we establish a proper relationship with God and become closer to God? This is a very important issue put in front of each believer. Actually, we need only to grasp the three aspects below, and our relationship with God will grow closer.

Chapter 2

The church of Philadelphia has taken shape, and this has been entirely due to the grace and mercy of God. Love for God arises in the hearts of the myriad saints, and they tread their spiritual path without wavering. They hold fast to their belief that the one true God has become flesh, that He is the Head of the universe, who commands all things: This has the confirmation of the Holy Spirit, as immovable as the mountains! It will never change!

135-B-8 Sermons and Fellowship About God’s Word “It Is Very Important to Establish a Normal Relationship With God” (IV)

Listening to this, some people might say, “Today I finally understand. Apparently, establishing a normal relationship with God is all too practical and meaningful! I will do it. I am resolved to do it! I will practice every day until I have a normal relationship with God.” If you practice like this every day, pray to God every day and live before Him, you will obtain the work of the Holy Spirit and be made perfect. If the Holy Spirit perfects you to a point where you can communicate the truth, then the Holy Spirit will start to use you. If the Holy Spirit uses you, how great an honor is that for a creation?! Even if you could be the president, you wouldn’t do it. Where is the honor of the president? There’s no honor at all. Unbelievers may consider them honorable, but their honor disappears in the blink of an eye. They themselves are destroyed just in the blink of an eye. It’s a flash in the pan; it’s meaningless.

Some people ask, “How can I establish a normal relationship with God? Are there things I should put into practice to guarantee this? If I am to establish a normal relationship with God, in which aspects do I need to commune with God and pray to God to attain this?” There are 5 major aspects. If you are able to attain normal contact with God, normal communion with God and have normal prayers to God through these 5 aspects, you are assured to attain a normal relationship with God. First, to commune with God you must read the word of God, and based on the word of God you must plead and pray to God. Second, you must recognize your own true situation through the word of God, and see your own deficiencies, understand your own corruption, pray to God, plead to God, beseech God to save and cleanse you. To have a true burden for your own life entry, this is the most important. Third, you must entrust unto God that which you cannot yourself obtain or accomplish. You must be able to rely on God and look to God. That is the third aspect. Fourth, you must completely deliver your own heart and your whole person to God. You must accept the judgment and purification of God and be perfected by God. Fifth, if you are able to disobey God, if you are able to betray God, then you must be able to curse yourself, and plead for the punishment of God, and this is very important! If you commune with God this way, are you not expressing your true feelings? These are the actual details of these several aspects of communing with God.

Do You Know the 4 Key Elements of Christian Prayer?

By Yang Yang, China

Brothers and sisters, we all know that praying to God is the most direct way for Christians to communicate with God. This is why, aside from morning and evening prayers, we pray at many other times such as when reading the Bible, when in gatherings, observing the Sabbath, or when we encounter difficulties. But are our prayers in accordance with the Lord’s will, and will He hear us? This is something that is important for every brother and sister to understand; otherwise, no matter how many times we pray or for how long, these prayers will not gain God’s approval. Actually, the Lord Jesus gave us these answers long ago, so together, let’s seek what the truth says in this regard!
