2019 English Christian Song | "The Incarnate Son of Man Is God Himself"


English Gospel Song | "The Incarnate Son of Man Is God Himself"

I
When God’s divinity was realized in flesh and blood,
His presence was no longer hazy.
Man could see and draw near to God.
They could try and comprehend God’s will, understand His divinity
through the words, work, and actions of the Son of man.
Through humanity, the Son of man expressed
God’s will and His divinity.
And through showing God’s will and disposition,
He revealed to people the God in the realm of the spirit,
who can’t be touched or seen.
They saw a God with flesh and image.

2019 English Christian Song With Lyrics | "The Responsibilities of True Believers"


English Gospel Song | "The Responsibilities of True Believers"

Verse 1
If you’re truly possessed of conscience,
then you must have a burden
and a sense of responsibility.
No matter if you will be conquered
or you will be made perfect,
bear this step of testimony properly.

2019 English Christian Hymn With Lyrics | "Are You One Who Seeks to Be Perfected by God?"


2019 English Christian Hymn With Lyrics | "Are You One Who Seeks to Be Perfected by God?"

Pre-verse
If you are one of the people
striving to be made perfect,
you’ll have borne testimony,
and you are going to say:

Verse 1
“Through each and every step
of what God is doing,
I have accepted this work
of chastisement and judgment.
Though I have suffered a lot,
I have gained God’s own work,
I have known His righteousness
and how He makes man perfect.

2019 Christian Worship Hymn With Lyrics | "No One Can Fathom God’s Authority and Power"

Christian Praise and Worship Song | "No One Can Fathom God’s Authority and Power"

Once the words of God are uttered, His authority takes command
and what He has promised becomes true step by step.
Changes start to happen in everything around.
These are the miracles out of the Creator’s hands.
It’s like when spring comes: grass turns green, flowers bloom,
buds sprout, and birds sing; people fill the fields.
God’s authority and power, unconstrained by time, 
by place, person, and matter, nor by anything. 
His authority and power, man cannot imagine.
They feel it hard to fathom or fully understand.

2019 English Christian Hymn With Lyrics | "God Long Ago Determined Man's Fate"


2019 English Christian Hymn With Lyrics | "God Long Ago Determined Man's Fate"


Verse 1

As far as fate is concerned, everyone is independent.

As far as fate is concerned, everyone has his or her own fate.

So no one’s parents can stave off one’s fate in life

or exert the slightest influence on the role one plays.

Chorus

Nothing except the predestination of the Creator

has a bearing on a person’s fate.

No one can control what kind of future one will have,

predetermined long before, not even parents have a say.

God’s name may change, but His essence will never change

God’s name may change, but His essence will never change

 God’s name may change, but His essence will never change


    Relevant Words of God:

    There are those who say that God is immutable. That is correct, but it refers to the immutability of God’s disposition and His substance. Changes in His name and work do not prove that His substance has altered; in other words, God will always be God, and this will never change. If you say that the work of God is unchanging, then would He be able to finish His six-thousand-year plan of management? You only know that God is forever unchanging, but do you know that God is always new and never old? If the work of God is unchanging, then could He have led mankind all the way to the present day? If God is immutable, then why is it that He has already done the work of two ages? His work never ceases to move forward, which is to say that His disposition is gradually revealed to man, and what is revealed is His inherent disposition. In the beginning, God’s disposition was hidden from man, He never openly revealed His disposition to man, and man simply had no knowledge of Him. Because of this, He uses His work to gradually reveal His disposition to man, but working in this way does not mean that God’s disposition changes in every age. It is not the case that God’s disposition is constantly changing because His will is always changing. Rather, it is that, because the ages of His work are different, God takes His inherent disposition in its entirety and, step by step, reveals it to man, so that man may be able to know Him. But this is by no means proof that God originally has no particular disposition or that His disposition has gradually changed with the passing of the ages—such an understanding would be erroneous. God reveals to man His inherent and particular disposition—what He is—according to the passing of the ages; the work of a single age cannot express the entire disposition of God. And so, the words “God is always new and never old” refer to His work, and the words “God is immutable” to what God inherently has and is. Regardless, you cannot make the work of six thousand years hinge upon a single point, or circumscribe it with dead words. Such is the stupidity of man. God is not as simple as man imagines, and His work cannot linger in any one age. Jehovah, for example, cannot always stand for the name of God; God can also do His work under the name of Jesus. This is a sign that God’s work is always moving in a forward progression.

The relationship between each stage of God’s work and His name

Jehovah, Jesus, Almighty God, words of God, Books, Gospel Q&A,

    (1) The significance of God taking the name Jehovah in the Age of Law

    Bible Verses for Reference:

    “And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exo 3:15).

    Relevant Words of God:

    “Jehovah” is the name that I took during My work in Israel, and it means the God of the Israelites (God’s chosen people) who can take pity on man, curse man, and guide the life of man. It means the God who possesses great power and is full of wisdom. … That is to say, only Jehovah is the God of the chosen people of Israel, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Moses, and the God of all the people of Israel. And so in the current age, all the Israelites apart from the tribe of Judah worship Jehovah. They make sacrifices to Him on the altar, and serve Him wearing priests’ robes in the temple. What they hope for is the reappearance of Jehovah. … The name Jehovah is a particular name for the people of Israel who lived under the law. In each age and each stage of work, My name is not baseless, but holds representative significance: Each name represents one age. “Jehovah” represents the Age of Law, and is the honorific for the God worshiped by the people of Israel.

The Savior’s Come | What Is Wise About the Wise Virgins?

The Savior’s Come | What Is Wise About the Wise Virgins?

The Lord Jesus said, “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6). Revelation prophesied, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). This is the true meaning of rapture at the coming of the Lord. If you want to greet the second coming of the Lord, it is principally important to be able to hear His voice. When God works and expresses His word, the wise virgins will be able to recognize His voice and thus go to the marriage feast of the Lamb and be raptured before the throne.
