If we do not accept Almighty God’s work of judgment, then can we really do the heavenly Father’s will? Can we really enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answer: If men only accept the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace, but do not accept Almighty God’s work of judgment and chastisement in the last days, they will not be able to free themselves from sin, do the heavenly Father’s will, and enter God’s kingdom.

1. Always Pray to God and Live Before God, Thus Actively Staying Away From Temptations
