I

God is the source of the survival of all things and the root of their survival. Man's life originates from God, heaven exists because of God, and the survival of the earth also stems from the power of God's life. No thing possessed of vitality can transcend God's sovereignty, and no thing with vigor can escape the scope of God's authority. In this way, regardless of who they are, all people must surrender to the dominion of God, all people must live under God's control, and none of them can escape from His hands.

Perhaps now you desire to gain life, or perhaps you desire to gain the truth. Whatever the case, you wish to find God, to find the God that you can rely on, and who can provide you with eternal life. If you wish to gain eternal life, you must first understand the source of eternal life and must first know just where God is. Only God is immutable life; only God possesses the way of life. Since God is immutable life, He is thus eternal life; since only God is the way of life, God Himself is thus the way of eternal life.

God holds sovereignty over everything among all things, and He's the support of man in his heart, and moreover, He exists among man. Only in this way can He bring the way of life to mankind, and bring man into the way of life. God has come to the earth, and lives among man, so that man may gain the way of life, and for the sake of man's existence. At the same time, God also commands everything among all things, to facilitate cooperation with the management He does among man. And so, if you only acknowledge the doctrine that God is in heaven and in the heart of man, yet do not acknowledge the truth of God's existence among man, then you shall never gain life, and shall never gain the way of truth.
