If you don’t know God’s disposition, then you’ll inevitably fall during trials, because you’re unaware of how God makes people perfect, and by what means He makes them perfect, and when God’s trials come upon you and they don’t match your notions, you will be unable to stand firm. God’s true love is His entire disposition. When God’s righteous disposition is revealed to people, their flesh will inevitably suffer much pain. If you don’t suffer this pain, then you cannot be made perfect by God, nor will you be able to devote true love to God. If God makes you perfect, He will surely reveal His entire disposition to you.

From the time of creation until the present day, God has never revealed His entire disposition to man—but during the last days He reveals it to this group of people whom He has predestined and selected, and by making people perfect, He reveals His dispositions, through which He makes complete a group of people. Such is God’s true love for people. Experiencing God’s true love requires that people endure extreme pain, and pay a high price. Only then can people ultimately be gained by God, and finally be able to give their true love back to God, and only then will God’s heart be satisfied.

If people wish to be made perfect by God, and if they wish to follow His will, and fully give their true love to God, then they must experience a lot of pain and many torments from their circumstances, suffering agony worse than death. Ultimately they will be forced to give their true heart back to God. Whether or not someone truly loves God is revealed during suffering and refinement. God’s purification of people’s love is also only achieved through suffering and refinement.
