Long for Jesus’ Second Coming yet Fear Being Deceived?

 September 23, 2018

Hello brothers and sisters of Testify God:

In the last few years, the pastors and elders often told us, “Now all sorts of disasters have occurred and the prophecies of the Lord’s return have basically been fulfilled. This shows that now is the end of the last days and the critical time for the return of the Lord.

94. Why is it that believers must pursue the truth to achieve salvation and be perfected?

The Answer from God’s Word:

Many people say: “I believe in God and I follow in this way, so I’m bound to obtain something. I do not seek the truth but I follow until the end, and I use all my strength to expend effort and to abandon things in the course of my duties. Even if I commit some transgressions, I can still obtain something.” They do not know what they are saying.

Religious pastors and elders are all people who serve God in the church. It is reasonable to say that, when it comes to the return of the Lord, they should be watching and waiting, and treating it with caution. But why do they not only not seek or investigate the work of Almighty God of the last days, and instead make up rumors, judge and condemn Almighty God, and deceive and restrict believers from investigating the true way?

Answer: This question is actually not strange. Back when the Lord Jesus came to work, He already once faced the furious opposition, resistance and condemnation of the religious world’s chief priests, scribes and Pharisees, and was crucified by them in the end. This is a historical fact! Then please think, everybody, why was the Lord Jesus crucified by the religious world? If we can see through this question then it won’t be hard to understand the reason why Almighty God of the last days has been crucified by the religious world.b

Chapter 46. Only by Knowing God’s Almightiness Can You Have a True Belief

The majority of people do not understand the work of God and it is not easy to understand this aspect. The first thing you must know is that there is an appointed time for all of God’s work and it is absolutely not like people imagine.

4. Why does God not use man to do His work of judgment in the last days but instead He must incarnate and do it Himself?

Bible Verses for Reference:

“For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son” (Jhn 5:22).

“And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man” (Jhn 5:27).

As we journey through life, every one of us will experience some extraordinary events which become inscribed on our memory and will never be forgotten.

93. What exactly must one do to achieve understanding of the truth and gain the truth?

The Answer from God’s Word:

Understanding God’s word is not quite so simple. Just because you can give a beautiful explanation of the letter of God’s word does not mean you understand it. No matter how you interpret the letter of God’s word it is still the imagination and way of thinking of man and is useless.
