So how exactly can we establish a proper relationship with God and become closer to God? This is a very important issue put in front of each believer.

Why Did the Lord Jesus Say “The Son of Man Is the Lord of the Sabbath”?
The Bible says, “At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day. But he said to them, ‘But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day’” (Mat 12:1-3, 6-8).

Heated Debate: What Are the Wise Virgins? What Are the Foolish Virgins?
What Are the Wise virgins? What Are the Foolish Virgins?

In a co-worker meeting, Jia Nan said as usual, “Brothers and sisters, now is the late period of the last days when the Lord comes. When the Lord Jesus said, ‘Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes’ (Matthew 24:44), He was telling us to prepare ourselves. What we need to do is read the Bible frequently, do more work for the Lord, pray often, and often confess and repent to the Lord. The most important thing is to watch and make preparations, like the wise virgins preparing enough oil. Only in this way can we welcome His return.

Who Has Added to the Bible?
In 1994, I believed in the Lord Jesus because of the illness of my husband. After my husband was healed, my faith in the Lord was greater. I didn’t cut any meetings. In the meetings, the pastor often told us, “The last days have arrived. The Lord is coming to receive us, so we must hold on to the Lord’s way, and never depart from the Bible, or go to other churches to listen to sermons. Especially those of ‘Eastern Lightning’, for many of their words are beyond the Bible. Continue reading “Who Has Added to the Bible?” →

A Preacher’s Confusion: Why Can’t I Be Raptured Into the Kingdom of God Only by Working Hard?

Chen Zhong began to believe in the Lord when he was a child. When attending meetings, he often heard pastors say: “‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness…. (2 Timothy 4:7–8). Brothers and sisters! When we believe in the Lord, as long as we work hard and give up all to follow the Lord, then there will be a crown of righteousness in store for us. When the Lord comes, we’ll be raptured to the kingdom of heaven.” From then on, Chen Zhong made up his mind: I will follow the Lord all my life, I will labor for the Lord, preach the gospel, and testify the Lord in all places when I grow up.

Actually, the main reason that we hold this view is because we do not understand the true meaning of the forgiveness of sins. Continue reading “Can People Enter the Kingdom of God After Being Forgiven Their Sins?” →
