01Does accepting the way of repentance of the Age of Grace really mean gaining the way of eternal life?

By believing in the Lord and confessing our sins to Him, we are forgiven of our sins and we are able to enjoy God’s grace and blessings. This gives us the hope of eternal life, and many believe that this is what it is to gain the way of eternal life. But is that really true? We all know that the Lord Jesus did the work of redemption in the Age of Grace, teaching mankind to confess and repent to God, to have humility and tolerance in all things, to bear one’s cross, and so on. This all centers around the truths expressed during the work of redemption, and these truths are the way of repentance. By accepting the way of repentance, we are absolved of our sins and we see some positive changes in our behavior. However, we still lack real understanding of our own sinful nature as well as the truth of how people can be freed of sin and become purified. Our sinful nature remains entrenched, and we still can’t stop ourselves from sinning, resisting God, and rebelling against Him. How could this be what it is to gain the way of eternal life?

02What is the way of eternal life?

The way of eternal life isn’t as simple as just having us confess and repent, and then having some good outward behavior. Rather, it is the way of truth that enables us to live eternally. That means completely resolving our sinful nature, saving us from Satan’s influence, and casting off our corrupt satanic dispositions so that we can be cleansed and fully saved by God. Then the truth becomes our very lives, we’re able to truly submit to God, revere Him and love Him, we become compatible with God, and we are fully gained by God. Only this way is the way of eternal life.

03How can we gain the way of eternal life?

There is a plan and there are steps to God expressing the truth for mankind’s salvation. The Lord Jesus did the work of redemption in the Age of Grace; He expressed the way of repentance, forgave man’s sins and redeemed us from Satan’s grasp. The work done by Christ of the last days, Almighty God, is the work of judgment, and the truths He expresses are able to cleanse and save people once and for all. This allows us to escape the bonds of sin, become purified, and be gained by God. These truths are the way of eternal life God bestows upon mankind. This is why we must accept all the truths expressed by Almighty God in the last days in order to gain the way of eternal life.
