What Is God’s Salvation?

By Junying

God’s salvation is different from man saving each other; it’s not the financial relief given to the poor by the rich, it’s not the saving of the dying and the treating of the wounded performed on patients by doctors, and it’s not the deeds of charitable organizations or philanthropists. God’s salvation is prepared for the sake of saving man’s degenerate souls, and the entirety of His salvation contains the truth, the way and the life. After we attain salvation, there is no longer any more pain, tears or sorrow, nor any more feelings of helplessness in our families, our studies, our work and our lives, and our lives become filled with light and happiness; we live with more purpose and meaning, and we live within the promises and blessings of God.

Will We Be Raptured to Meet the Lord in the Air Upon His Return?

Will We Be Raptured to Meet the Lord in the Air Upon His Return?

By Damaris, Kenya

Hello, brothers and sisters! I’m sure every one of us is eagerly awaiting the Lord’s return, for Him to bring us up into the heavens where we will meet with Him. But will He rapture us straight up when He returns, as we imagine? It was only through a period of time of seeking that I found the right answer and understood what the “rapture” really refers to, and then welcomed the Lord’s return. Today I’d like to share this joyful experience with everyone.

The Lord Never Said Those Who Work Hard Can Enter the Kingdom of God

The Lord Never Said Those Who Work Hard Can Enter the Kingdom of God

By Qiao Yue

In the evening, the setting sun gradually dropped from the horizon, the severe heat filling the air. Having had supper early, the elderly men, with small stools, were sitting around in twos and threes, having talks. A few naughty children were running about and a little tortoiseshell cat with narrow eyes was lying prone under the eave lazily, still.

At this time, from the room of a family came out the father’s shouts “I see there is only Jesus in your heart. You don’t care about your parents or this family. In believing in Jesus, you, over thirty years of age, don’t marry or work. Continue reading “The Lord Never Said Those Who Work Hard Can Enter the Kingdom of God”

How to Discern the Pharisees

By Jingjing, Taiwan

How to Discern the Pharisees

Since I was little, I believed in the Lord Jesus with my mother. From then on, my mother would take me to church with her regardless of wind, rain or snow. And the Lord bestowed abundant grace on us. After I got married, I continued to go to church as before.

One day, when I called my mother, she told me: “The Lord Jesus has returned! I have read a lot of words of Almighty God, I am sure that Almighty God is indeed the returned Lord Jesus! He has brought with Him new work and taken a new name. From now on, we must pray in the name of Almighty God.” She also shared with me lots of details of God’s work in the last days. After hearing her words, I thought to myself: My mother is a devout Christian. Continue reading “How to Discern the Pharisees”

By Feng Min

Have You Find the Key to Welcoming the Second Coming of Jesus?

After dinner, Zhou Zhongcheng came into the study as usual and then he sat down and opened his yellowed Bible which he had read for many years. He read the words of the Lord Jesus: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Zhou Zhongcheng looked at the scriptures and sighed from time to time as if he was thinking about something. At this time, his wife Yu Fenglan came in.

Should Believers in God Never Stray From the Bible?

By Wong Hie Sing, Malaysia

Should Believers in God Never Stray From the Bible?

I am an educational worker and a Christian. Every Lord’s day, my family and I would go to church. At meetings, I often heard the pastor say, “‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness’ (2 Timothy 3:16). Since we believe in God, we should read the Bible, obey the Lord’s instructions in it and become a person approved by the Lord. Besides, the Bible can supply us with life.

Is God’s Work Done According to the Bible?

Is God’s Work Done According to the Bible?

By Chen Hong

Since Almighty God’s work of the last days was carried out in Mainland China, His utterances have shaken all denominations and sects. When those who pursue the truth and long for God’s appearance hear God’s voice, they all seek and investigate Almighty God’s work of the last days after being moved by the Holy Spirit. They have seen the appearance of God in God’s words, been taken before God’s throne, and attended the wedding feast of the Lamb. However, some people, because of their notions and imaginations, refuse to accept Almighty God’s work of the last days, thinking that Almighty God’s work of the last days exceeds the Bible.

Why Does God’s Name Change?

Why Does God’s Name Change?

In 1998, I began to believe in the Lord Jesus because of an illness. After I started to believe in the Lord and go to church, our pastors and elders often preached to us, “Neither is there salvation in any other” (Acts 4:12). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). They also told us that only by keeping the name of the Lord Jesus and praying to His name at all times could we gain salvation and enter the kingdom of heaven when the Lord returned.

Revealing the Mystery: The Significance of God’s Name

By Lin Yue, Malaysia

Revealing the Mystery: The Significance of God’s Name

When I was in high school, there was a Christian student fellowship in my school, and every week they organized a church activity. Once my teacher invited me to join them. After attending the activity several times, I was moved by the Lord’s love. And one year later, I received baptism and formally turned to the Lord. Then I preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to my relatives and friends. And some of them came under the name of the Lord as well. In the Lord Jesus’ warm loving bosom, I enjoyed His abundant grace. I often read the Bible and prayed, and participated in the church service. So far, I have believed in the Lord for 35 years.

Can the Cowards Enter Into the Kingdom of God?

Can the Cowards Enter Into the Kingdom of God?

By Xiaohua

I was an ordinary believer in the Three-Self Church. One night, walking on the street, I saw that the police had mobilized in force—over ten policemen and some armed police officers in three police cars—to arrest several Christians in our village. At the sight of this, my heart couldn’t calm down for quite a long time. The next morning when I went for a walk alone in a park on the edge of my village, I was thinking about this matter when I happened to meet an old sister, Li Qing. Not until we talked about this matter did I find out that those arrested Christians were believers in Eastern Lightning. I was afraid, and thought that it was fortunate I didn’t believe in Eastern Lightning, otherwise I would also be in danger of being arrested.
