“God does the work of the word in the last days, and such words are that of the Holy Spirit, for God is the Holy Spirit and can also become flesh; therefore, the words of the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in the past, are the words of the incarnate God today. … For God to speak utterances to carry out work, He must become flesh, else His work cannot accomplish His goal” (from “How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
God’s Chastisement and Judgment Is the Light of Man’s Salvation
To be cleansed in your lifetime, to be changed in disposition, to live out a life of meaning, to fulfill your duty as a creature, you have to accept God’s chastisement, His judgment on your sinful ways. You can’t try to escape His discipline that frees you from control of Satan. You must let God smite and deal with you. So you can break free from the influence of Satan, the force that holds you in its sway, and you can live, and you can live, and you can live more in the light of God. God’s chastisement, it is the light; His judgment too, salvation’s light. It’s the biggest grace for you, protection strong surrounding you.

God's Love Conquers Man’s Heart | "Song of Heartfelt Attachment"(Official Music Video)
Two thousand years ago, when God was incarnated as the Lord Jesus and
came among men to redeem mankind He was rejected in the era of darkness,
eventually being nailed to the cross by evil corrupted mankind. The
Lord Jesus prophesied that He would come again in the last days, saying:
"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).
Why will the Lord Jesus when He comes again in the last days "be
rejected of this generation"? When God twice appeared in the flesh to do
His work why was He subjected to wild resistance and condemnation by
corrupted mankind? Do you know the reason in this? This movie clip will
reveal the answer for you.
1. For so many years, the thought man lives by has corrupted man’s heart, man’s heart. So man becomes crafty, cowardly, and base. Man has no perseverance or resolution, and is greedy and frail and willful. He does not have the will to transcend himself at all, much less have any courage to break away from the bondage of the influence of darkness.
2. Man has a depraved mind and leads a depraved life. Man’s viewpoint of believing in God is still awful, and it is even intolerable to the ear, intolerable to the ear once it is spoken of. All men are cowardly, powerless, base, and fragile. They do not feel loathing for the force of darkness, and do not love the light and the truth, but they do their possible to drive them out.

1. God has been in the world for many years, but who knows Him? It’s no wonder that God chastises man. It seems as if man were the very object for God to exercise His authority on. It seems as if man were the bullet in the gun of God, and when God fired His gun, they all “fled.” All this is nothing but man’s imagination. God always respects man; He never slaughters or trades man wantonly as a slave. God can’t leave man, and man can’t leave God either, so man and God become “sworn friends for life or death.”
2. God has always been loving man. Though man never loves God, man always looks to Him. So, God keeps exerting effort on man. He loves man as the apple of His eye. Man is the “capital” for God’s management on earth, so He will by no means eliminate man. At no time will God’s will toward man change. Can man really trust in God’s oath? What should man do to satisfy God? This is the lesson for all, and the “homework” God assigns to man. God hopes that all men will do it carefully.
from “The Thirty-Fifth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Many people in religion think that they have admitted their sins and
repented of them after believing in the Lord, so they have been
redeemed, and been saved by grace. When the Lord comes, He will lift
them up directly into the kingdom of heaven, and He cannot possibly do
the work of purification and salvation. Does this view tally with the
reality of God's work? It is said in the Bible: "Holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).
God says: "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" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).
