"The Existence of All Mankind Rests on God"



The Existence of All Mankind Rests on God


God’s final work is not just to punish man, 
but to arrange man’s destination,
and to achieve everyone’s recognition of all that God has done for them.
God wants every single person to see that everything He’s done is correct,
that all that He has done is an expression of His disposition.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again, 
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts, 
even though none take heed of Him.



Mankind shall only face the frigid night 
and the inexorable valley of the shadow of death.
God is man’s only salvation, hope, 
and the one on whom the existence of all mankind rests.
It is certainly not the doing of man, nor did nature create human beings.
Rather, it is God who nourishes every living soul among all things.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again, 
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward; 
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts, 
even though none take heed of Him.



The work that has been done by God cannot be replaced by anyone.
All He hopes is that man can repay Him 
through deeds that are good, that are good.
The work that has been done by God cannot be replaced by anyone.
All He hopes is that man can repay Him 
through deeds that are good, that are good.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts, 
even though none take heed of Him.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts, 
even though none take heed of Him.
