Now the signs of the Lord’s return have appeared, we are all more eagerly yearning for the Lord’s coming to rapture us into the kingdom of heaven, but at the same time we are feeling worried because we often sin and fail to practice the teachings of the Lord. For example, when the people around us do things which do not accord with our own ideas, we get angry with them easily, and even with our families or friends; when seeing others who are better than us, we often become jealousy of them; when matters touch upon our own interests, we cannot stop lying and deceiving … Even if we pray more and attend more meetings, we still can sin and resist God involuntarily. Living in sin like this, can we be raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord returns? How can we free ourselves from the bondage of sin and be cleansed and enter the kingdom of heaven?
A Different Kind of Love
God says, “God’s love for mankind is mainly manifest in His work while in the flesh, personally saving people, speaking face to face with people, and living among people without being distant in the slightest degree, without pretense, but being true. He saves people to the extent that He was able to become flesh and pass through years of pain with people in the world, all because of His love and pity on mankind. God’s love for mankind has no conditions or demands.”

What’s God’s Will Behind Lazarus Rising From the Dead?
God says, “When the Lord Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead, He used one line: ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ He said nothing aside from this—what do these words represent? They represent that God can accomplish anything through speaking, including resurrecting a dead man. When God created all things, when He created the world, He did so with words—spoken commands, words with authority, and just like that all things were created. It was accomplished like that. This single line spoken by the Lord Jesus was just like the words spoken by God when He created the heavens and earth and all things; it equally held the authority of God, the ability of the Creator. All things were formed and stood fast because of words from God’s mouth, and just the same, Lazarus walked out from his tomb because of the words from the Lord Jesus’ mouth. This was the authority of God, demonstrated and realized in His incarnate flesh. This type of authority and ability belonged to the Creator, and to the Son of man in whom the Creator was realized. This is the understanding taught to mankind by God bringing Lazarus back from the dead.”

Mysteries of the Bible: Is It Right to Delimit God’s Words and Work to the Bible?
Now disasters are growing larger and larger in scale. Although you know that this has fulfilled the prophecies of the Lord’s coming and you think the Lord may have returned, yet when you see many people testifying online that the Lord has returned as Almighty God, Christ of the last days, and that He has expressed all the truths to save people and is doing new work, you don’t believe it. You think that God’s words and work are all in the Bible, and it would be impossible for any of God’s words and work to appear outside of the Bible. You’re limiting God’s work and words to the Bible without seeking and investigating. So how can you welcome the Lord? Think back to the time when the Pharisees condemned the Lord Jesus’ words and work as departing from the scriptures and they nailed Him to the cross and angered God’s disposition, finally falling into God’s punishment and losing God’s salvation.

What Does “Whoever Believes in the Son Has Eternal Life” Truly Mean?
The Bible says, “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life” (John 3:36). Since the Lord Jesus is Christ and the Son of man, many people think that believing in the Lord Jesus will give them everlasting life. The Lord Jesus once prophesied, “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day. But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24–25). Clearly, the Lord will appear as the Son of man to do work in the last days. Are we truly believing in the Son if we only believe in the Lord Jesus but do not accept the Son of man returning in the last days? How should we believe in the Son so that we can gain the way of eternal life?

The Plague Is Upon Us: How to Obtain God’s Mercy and Protection
Now all kinds of disasters such as earthquakes, plagues, and floods are occurring frequently, and the economy becomes depressed. Many people lose their jobs, and are short of food, living a very hard life. Helpless, they can only come before the Lord and pray in tears, hoping that they can welcome the Lord soon and be raptured into the heavenly kingdom, and escape the hard life in the flesh and gain the blessings of the heavenly kingdom just as it is said in the Bible, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation21:4). So how can we welcome the Lord and gain the chance to enter God’s kingdom?
The Plague Is Upon Us: How to Obtain God’s Mercy and Protection

Who Are the 144,000 Overcomers and How Can You Become One?
Revelation prophesies: “He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:7). God’s words say: “Those who are made complete before the disaster are submissive to God. They live reliant on Christ, they bear witness to Him, and they exalt Him. They are the victorious male children and good soldiers of Christ.” We can see from them that only those who welcome the Lord’s coming and are made perfect by God before the disaster are the victorious male children, that is, the overcomers, and they will finally enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Now that disasters are occurring everywhere, we all look forward to becoming overcomers before the great tribulation, coming out of the tribulation, and finally entering into the kingdom of God. What qualifications, then, do we need to be the overcomers? What should we do to be perfected into overcomers before the tribulation? Revelation prophesies: “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God” (Revelation 14:4–5). God said: “[Y]ou shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:45).

How Will Jesus Come in the Last Days? I’ve Finally Found the Answer

Just as the Bible says, “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luk 17:24-25). We know each of the Lord’s words will be fulfilled. So how are these prophecies of the Lord’s return descending on a cloud and of the arrival of the Son of man fulfilled?

Is the Concept of “Once Saved Always Saved” Biblical?
“A sinner such as you, who has just been redeemed, and has not been changed, or been perfected by God, can you be after God’s heart? For you, you who are still of your old self, it is true that you were saved by Jesus, and that you are not counted as a sinner because of the salvation of God, but this does not prove that you are not sinful, and are not impure. How can you be saintly if you have not been changed? Within, you are beset by impurity, selfish and mean, yet you still wish to descend with Jesus—you should be so lucky! You have missed a step in your belief in God: You have merely been redeemed, but have not been changed. For you to be after God’s heart, God must personally do the work of changing and cleansing you; if you are only redeemed, you will be incapable of attaining sanctity. In this way you will be unqualified to share in the good blessings of God, for you have missed out a step in God’s work of managing man, which is the key step of changing and perfecting. And so you, a sinner who has just been redeemed, are incapable of directly inheriting God’s inheritance.”
