The True Love of God | "God's Essence Truly Exists" | 2019 Christian Worship Song


The True Love of God | "God's Essence Truly Exists " | 2019 Christian Worship Song


1
God’s realness and His loveliness
are brought out by the things so small,
the things that man doesn’t think He’d do,
for they think they’re unremarkable.
In His essence and disposition
there is no pride or disguise,
and arrogance, pretense and boastfulness,
they aren’t there for man to find.
God’s essence, like His loveliness, is not fake.
It’s real and truly exists.
God’s essence, it isn’t given by others.
It is unchanged by time or by place.

The Word of God | "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father"

The Word of God | "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father"


Almighty God says, "The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself. Be it His humanity or divinity, both submit to the will of the heavenly Father. The substance of Christ is the Spirit, that is, the divinity. Therefore, His substance is that of God Himself; this substance will not interrupt His own work, and He could not possibly do anything that destroys His own work, nor would He ever utter any words that go against His own will."

Best Gospel Movie | "The Mystery of Godliness: The Sequel" (1) - How Will the Lord Appear to Man When He Comes Again?


Over the centuries since the Lord Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, we believers have yearned eagerly for Jesus the Savior's return. Most people believe that it will be the spiritual body of the resurrected Jesus that will appear to us when the Lord returns. But why has God appeared to man incarnating as the Son of man in the last days? Almighty God says, "If God did not become flesh, He would remain the Spirit who is both invisible and intangible to man. Man being a creature of flesh, he and God belong to two different worlds and are endowed with different natures. The Spirit of God is incompatible with man, who is of flesh, and there is simply no way of establishing relations between them." "Only through becoming flesh can He personally deliver His words into the ears of each and every human being, so that all who have ears may hear His words and receive His work of judgment by the word. Only this is the result achieved by His word" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Bible Study | What’s the Meaning of the Verses Revelation 22:18–19 About Not Adding Things?

Christian, the Bible, faith in God, God’s words, Jehovah

By Chiheng

A good friend of Christian Xu Min sends her a book—she feels spiritually freed after reading it, and it seems to her like a book of God’s utterance. However, her pastor says that according to a prophecy in Revelation 22:18–19, no one can add anything to or remove anything from the Bible, so God couldn’t possibly speak aside from through the Bible. Xu Min is really confused and wonders, what does the verse about not adding things in Revelation 22:18–19 really mean? Does “not adding things” apply to the entire Bible or just the Book of Revelation? After a fellowship, she understood the truth and mystery in it. Read this article to understand the truth within, lest we miss His return due to treating the Lord’s return according to our notions and imaginations.

A Hymn of God's Word "Only God Has the Way of Life" | The Church of Almighty God

A Hymn of God's Word "Only God Has the Way of Life" | The Church of Almighty God


I
The way of life isn’t something anyone possesses;
it’s not something anyone can get easily.
For life comes only from God,
only God Himself has the substance of life,
only God has the way of life.
So only God is the source of life,
and the ever-flowing wellspring of living water of life.
From the creation of the world,
God has done a lot of work
that involves the vitality of life, that brings life to man;
He has paid a great price for man to gain life.
For God Himself is eternal life;
He is the way by which man gets resurrection.

TODAY IN SEOUL, KOREA: Press Conference by Chinese Christians Who Fled From Persecution

Press Conference on July 22 of 2019 Given by The Church of Almighty God, a Religious Group Persecuted in China


1. Speeches at the press conference
2. Witnesses telling their story as victims: Xiao Rui and Zhao Lin
 Speech on the Press Conference Held by The Church of Almighty God, a Religious Group Persecuted in China

“The Chinese government’s religious persecution is true. We are the witnesses of this fact: we were tortured and detained, and we fled here for freedom. The CCP government should immediately stop the persecution of Christians, and stop its despicable acts of using our family members to incite Korean media to make false propaganda. ”

1.In recent years, the CCP is persecuting all religious faiths, with its suppression of Christianity including Catholicism reaching a peak. Even the state-approved Three-Self churches are not spared: Church buildings were demolished, a large number of crosses were removed, and countless Christians were dispersed and left without a gathering place—many crying and making prayers on the ruins of their meeting venues. Due to their rapid growth, some house churches were condemned as “xie jiao” and subsequently suppressed and banned. CCP’s propaganda uses rumors and slanders to portray these churches as “anti-social religions.” Under the comprehensive and cruel suppression of the CCP, many Christians were sentenced to prison and some were even beaten to death. In addition, countless Christians were rendered homeless, fleeing here and there. Many foreign missionaries, including those from South Korea, were arrested and deported.

Can Those Who Are Saved by Faith Enter God’s Kingdom?

God’s words, the kingdom of heaven, the Bible, being saved, Lord Jesus

By Saverio, Italy

Some Christians believe that as long as they accept the Lord Jesus’ salvation of the cross, verbally acknowledge the Lord and believe in Him in their hearts, then they are saved and will be able to enter the heavenly kingdom. There is also a biblical basis for this belief, which is: “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation” (Romans 10:9–10). They therefore believe even more strongly that those who are saved by faith can enter into the heavenly kingdom. But there are some Christians who remain confused, and they think that, seeing as we are capable of becoming hot-headed and losing our tempers at people every day, so much so that we are not even able to show our family members tolerance and patience, and we are capable of telling lies to deceive others in our everyday lives, can people such as this who live in sin enter into the kingdom of God? Let’s fellowship about this topic today.

As all who sincerely believe in the Lord know, in our belief in the Lord we must base everything we do on God’s words, for the word of God is the foundation of our faith in God and the benchmark by which we shall enter the heavenly kingdom. So what does God say about us getting into the heavenly kingdom? The Lord Jesus said, “Not every one that said to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). “Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever” (John 8:34–35). “You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:45). According to God’s words, we can ascertain that people who just believe in the Lord in their hearts, who verbally pray to the Lord but who commit sins frequently every day cannot enter the kingdom of God. Because God is holy, absolutely no sinner is permitted to enter His kingdom, and this is decided by God’s righteous disposition. We are therefore able to reflect on ourselves in the light of God’s words to see whether or not we meet the criteria to enter the heavenly kingdom.

Inspirational Gospel Song With Lyrics | "All God's People Express Their Heartfelt Feelings"


Inspirational Gospel Song With Lyrics | "All God's People Express Their Heartfelt Feelings"


Look upon God’s kingdom, where God reigns over all.
From when creation started until the present day,
sons of God guided undergoing hardships,
through ups and downs they went.
But now in His light they dwell.
Who doesn’t weep at yesterday’s injustice?
Who doesn’t shed tears for the hard-won life today?
Who doesn’t take this chance to dedicate their hearts to God?
Who doesn’t want to give voice to their passion and experience?
Who doesn’t weep at yesterday’s injustice?
Who doesn’t shed tears for the hard-won life today?
Who doesn’t take this chance to dedicate their hearts to God?
Who doesn’t want to give voice to their passion and experience?
People give their best to God.
Some regret their follies.
Some hate themselves for their pursuit yesterday.
They have all known themselves,
seen Satan’s deeds, God’s wonder.
Inside their hearts lives God, for His work has been fulfilled.
