"God Is Abundantly Merciful and Profoundly Wrathful"



God Is Abundantly Merciful and Profoundly Wrathful

It is so real and it’s so true God’s mercy and God’s tolerance exist,

but when He unleashes His wrath, His holiness and righteousness

also show man the side of God that brooks no offense.

When man can fully follow and obey the commands of God

and acts in accordance to the requirements of God,

God is abundant and plentiful in His mercy toward man;

when man has been filled with corruption, filled with hatred and enmity for Him,

God will show profound anger.

And to what extent His anger will be?

His wrath will keep on till He sees no more,

no more man’s evil deeds and resistance,

till they are no longer before His eyes.

And to what extent His anger will be?

His wrath will keep on till He sees no more,

no more man’s evil deeds and resistance,

till they are no longer before His eyes.

Only at that time will God’s anger disappear.

No matter who the person is, if their heart has become distant from God,

and has turned away from God, never to return,

then regardless of how they, seemingly or how willingly

wish to worship, follow and obey God in their body or their thoughts,

once their heart turns away from God,

"God’s wrath will be unleashed without cease."

When God deeply unleashes His anger, having given man plenty of chance,

there will be no way of taking it back,

and He will never again,

will never ever again be merciful and tolerant of such man!

This is one side of God’s disposition that tolerates no offense.

He is tolerant and merciful toward things kind, beautiful, and good;

He is profoundly wrathful toward things evil, sinful, and wicked,

such that He is unceasing in His wrath, such that He is unceasing in His wrath.

These are two main and leading aspects of God’s disposition,

and they have been revealed by God from beginning to end:

abundant mercy and profound wrath.

This is one side of God’s disposition that tolerates no offense.

He is tolerant and merciful toward things kind, beautiful, and good;

He is profoundly wrathful toward things evil, sinful, and wicked,

such that He is unceasing in His wrath, such that He is unceasing in His wrath.

These are two main and leading aspects of God’s disposition,

and they have been revealed by God from beginning to end:

abundant mercy and profound wrath.

Stage Play Drama "Chinese Choir Episode 13"



The 13th performance by the Church of Almighty God is a musical, a chorus of praise which fuses together Beijing opera, rock and roll, traditional work songs, Latin dance, animation, drama and other forms of expression, to give a vivid interpretation of the journey made by mankind—that has been deceived and corrupted by Satan—as they cast Satan aside and return before God to come under His salvation.

With Satan in power, demons running amok, and with the world in an abyss of darkness, in utter misery, like a hell on earth, mankind painfully struggles on through evil and, even more so, God's chosen people suffer over and over the repression and slaughter at the hands of Satan's demons. Just when Satan, the great red dragon's savage evil and its wild defiance of God is at its height, lightning flashes from the East, and the Christ of the last days—the Almighty Himself—comes to earth to express His Word, bringing the true light, bringing wrath and bringing judgment. Under God's majestic judgment, Satan reveals its true form and God's chosen people use the word of God as a sharp sword to defeat Satan, never again to endure Satan's control or manipulations. Finally, Satan is reduced to ashes by the fire of God's wrath, and the whole world is returned to its former holiness. God's chosen people gather together before God's throne, and they happily sing and dance to celebrate the utter accomplishment of God's great work!

Pure Love Without Blemish



I
Love is a pure emotion,
pure without a blemish.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.
Love doesn't set conditions
or barriers or distance.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.
If you love you don't deceive,
grumble, turn your back,
look to get something in return.
If you love you'd sacrifice,
accept hardship
and be one with God in harmony.
II
In love there's no suspicion,
no cunning, no deceit.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.
In love there is no distance
and nothing that's not pure.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.
If you love you don't deceive,
grumble, turn your back,
look to get something in return.
If you love you'd sacrifice,
accept hardship
and be one with God in harmony.
III
You would give your family,
youth and future you may see,
give your marriage up for God;
you would give your all for Him.
You would give your family,
youth and future you may see,
give your marriage up for God;
you would give your all for Him.
Or your love's no love at all,
but deceit, betrayal of God.
IV
Love is a pure emotion,
pure without a blemish.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.
Love doesn't set conditions
or barriers or distance.
Use your heart, use your heart
to love and feel and care.

Only by Knowing the Actual Deeds of God Can You Know God



I
God's work now is to speak, no more signs, nor wonders. It's not the Age of Grace. God is normal and real. In the last days He is not the supernatural Jesus, but a practical God in flesh, no different from man. So man's belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds. Yes, it is God's utterance that conquers and perfects man. Signs and wonders aren't the root of their faith. Yes, it's God's deeds that make man know Him.

Almighty God's Word "God's Work and Man's Work" (Part One) | The Church of Almighty God


Almighty God says, "What man expresses is what he sees, experiences and can imagine. Even if it is doctrines or notions, these are all reachable by man’s thinking. Regardless of the size of man’s work, it cannot exceed the scope of man’s experience, what man sees, or what man can imagine or conceive. What God expresses is what God Himself is, and this is beyond the reach of man, that is, beyond the reach of man’s thinking. He expresses His work of leading all of mankind, and this is not relevant to the details of human experience, but is instead concerned with His own management. Man expresses his experience while God expresses His being—this being is His inherent disposition and is beyond the reach of man."

The Hymn of God's Word "All Things Live in the Rules and Laws Set Down by God"




All Things Live in the Rules and Laws Set Down by God

1. Thousands of years passed by, humans still enjoy the light and the air bestowed by God. Humans still breathe in and out the breath exhaled by God Himself. Humans still enjoy things created by God, the fish, birds, flowers and insects. Humans enjoy all the things, all the things provided by God. Continually day and night still replace each other. As usual the four seasons alternate. Flying in the sky, the geese depart in winter and return in spring. Swimming in the water, the fish never leave the rivers and the lakes, their home.

2. During the summer days, cicadas on the ground joyfully sing their hearts out. During the autumn days, crickets in the grass gently hum in time to the wind. Geese gather in flocks, while eagles stay alone. Lions hunt to live, while elk never stray from the grass and flowers. … Every living creature in all things comes and goes again and again, a million changes in a moment. But what does not change are their instincts and the laws of survival. They live under God’s nourishing and provision. No one can change their instincts. No one can break their rules of survival. No one can break their rules of survival.

"How Peter Came to Know Jesus"



Almighty God says, "During his time following Jesus, he had many opinions of Him and always judged Him from his own perspective. Although he had a certain degree of understanding of the Spirit, Peter was not very enlightened, hence his words when he said: 'I must follow he who is sent by the heavenly Father. I must acknowledge he who is chosen by the Holy Spirit.' He did not understand the things Jesus did and received no enlightenment. After following Him for some time he grew interested in what He did and said, and in Jesus Himself. He came to feel that Jesus inspired both affection and respect; he liked to associate with Him and stay beside Him, and listening to Jesus' words rendered him supply and help. Over the time he followed Jesus, Peter observed and took to heart everything about His life: His actions, words, movements, and expressions. He gained a deep understanding that Jesus was not like ordinary men. Although His human appearance was exceedingly ordinary, He was full of love, compassion, and tolerance for man. Everything He did or said was of great aid to others, and by His side Peter saw and learned things he had never seen or had before."
