The destinations of Paul and Peter were measured according to

whether they could perform their duty as creatures of God,

and not according to the size of their contribution;

their destinations were determined

according to that which they sought from the beginning,

not according to how much work they did,

or other people’s estimation of them.

And so, seeking to actively perform one’s duty as a creature of God

is the path to success;

seeking the path of the true love for God is the most correct path;

seeking changes in one’s old disposition, and seeking the pure love for God,

is the path to success,

is the path to success.

Such a path to success

is the path of the recovery of the original duty

as well as the original appearance of a creature of God,

is the path of the recovery of the original duty

as well as the original appearance of a creature of God.

It is the path of recovery,

and it is also the aim of all of God’s work from beginning to end.

If the pursuit of man is tainted with personal extravagant demands

and irrational longings,

then the effect that is achieved will not be changes in man’s disposition.

This is at odds with the work of recovery.

It is undoubtedly not work done by the Holy Spirit,

and so this proves that pursuit of this kind is not approved of by God,

pursuit of this kind is not approved of by God.

What significance has a pursuit that is not approved of by God?

What significance has it?

What significance has a pursuit that is not approved of by God?
