145 Living to Follow God’s Will Is Most Meaningful
I
As someone who pursues the love for God, entry into the kingdom to become one of God’s people is your true future, and it’s a life that is of the utmost value and significance; no one is more blessed than you. Those who don’t believe in God live for the flesh and Satan, but today you live for God, and live to follow God’s will, so your lives are of the utmost significance. Only this group of people, who have been selected by God, are able to live out a life of the utmost significance: No one else on earth is able to live out a life of such value and meaning.
II
Because you have been selected by God, and have been elevated by God, and, moreover, because of God’s love, you have grasped the true life, and you know how to live in a way that is of the utmost value. This is not because you pursue well, but because of God’s grace; it was God who opened your spiritual eyes, and it was the Spirit of God that touched your hearts, giving you the good fortune to come before Him. If God’s Spirit had not enlightened you, then you’d be incapable of seeing what is lovely about God, nor would it be possible for you to love God. It’s wholly because God’s Spirit has touched people’s hearts that their hearts have turned to God.
