In the last days, God expresses the truth to save mankind completely. When you embark on the path of believing in God, you already have the opportunity to be saved by God from the very beginning. This is a tremendous blessing! This cannot be given up. God saving and perfecting people in the last days is an extremely rare opportunity. Mankind has lived for thousands of generations, but no one has had this opportunity before. It's a huge thing to be saved; you must not miss this opportunity. Your generation has encountered God's incarnation; this is a blessing! This blessing is invisible to the people of the secular world, but you have seen it and enjoyed it, and this is God's blessing.

Perhaps some people are still unclear about the visions; they only understand some doctrines, but they don't have genuine faith. They just feel that believing in God is really good, and that reading God's words really brightens their hearts, so they affirm that it is the right path in life and their hearts gain strength. They believe in God only for the sake of following God, pursuing the truth, and fulfilling their duty, and of being purified and saved; they only walk the path of following God. It's good for people to have such resolve—it means they have hope of being saved. In following God like this, they are protected by Him. At least now, in this life, they are happy. They are no longer grievously harmed by Satan, society, or mankind, and they live completely and genuinely under God's dominion. This is an honor; it is a happiness that can be felt in this lifetime.

Besides providing you with truth and life, and granting you salvation, God has also made you a promise: that you shall receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the world to come. Therefore, do not underestimate this matter. The price you pay and the suffering you endure to gain the truth and attain salvation are temporary. In the future, when people understand the truth and gain it, the happiness, joy, and blessings they enjoy may be indescribable. That is to say, only when you understand and gain the truth will you be qualified to receive God's promise. God freely grants you all the truth and provisions of life, and God can save you—this is all true, but whether you can ultimately gain the truth and life depends on whether you choose the path of pursuing truth. The decision to make this choice is in your own hands.
