In the future, whether you are blessed or suffer misfortune will be decided based upon your actions and behavior today. If you are to be perfected by God, it must be in this current age; there will not be another opportunity in the future. God truly wants to perfect you now, and this is not a manner of speaking. In the future, regardless of what trials befall you, what events take place, or what disasters you encounter, God wishes to perfect you; this is a definite and indisputable fact.

The word of God, through the ages and generations, has never attained such a great height and entered the highest realm as it has today. The work of the Holy Spirit on all people today is without precedent. Hardly anyone from generations past had such an experience; even in the age of Jesus, the revelations of today did not exist. The words spoken to you, what you understand, and your experience have all reached their zenith. Even in the midst of trials and chastisements, you people do not leave, and this is sufficient proof that the work of God has attained an unprecedented splendor. This is not something that man is able to do. It is not something that man maintains; rather, it is the work of God Himself. From many of the facts of the work of God, it can be seen that God wishes to perfect man, and He is certainly able to make you complete. Therefore, you should each do your utmost, sparing no effort, so that you may be perfected by God.
