I

God has done such great work of expressing the truth and saving people, and put all His heart's blood into it. God takes this most just cause so seriously; all His heart's blood has been spent for these people whom He wants to save, all of His expectations are also placed on these people, and the final results and glory that He wants to obtain from His 6,000-year management plan will all be realized on these people. If someone sets themselves against God, opposes, disturbs, or destroys the result of this cause, this offends God's disposition.

If you keep saying that you follow God, pursue salvation, accept God's scrutiny and guidance, and accept and submit to God's judgment and chastisement, but because of your selfish desires and your goal of pursuing your own interests, you cause harm to the interests of God's house, then how should God weigh up your outcome in your book of life? How should you be characterized? In all fairness, you should be punished. This is called getting your just deserts. People's interests are actually all their extravagant desires. They are all temptations, they are all illusions, and they are all bait used by Satan to tempt people.

Pursuing fame, gain, and status, and pursuing one's own interests—this is cooperating with Satan in doing evil, and it is opposing God. In order to hinder God's work, Satan raises up various environments to tempt, disturb, and mislead people, and to prevent people from following God, so that they are unable to submit to God, and instead cooperate with Satan and follow it, and deliberately rise up to disturb and destroy God's work. No matter how God fellowships the truth, such people still don't come to their senses. They don't submit to God at all, instead they insist on having things their own way and doing as they please. This sin is too great, and such people will certainly be punished by God.
