God has been incarnated the second time and come to the world. Some brothers and sisters can’t accept this fact and are full of doubts about it: Why does God still need to be incarnated? Can’t the Spirit do the work of saving man? Didn’t God accomplish the work all the same without being incarnated in the Age of the Law? The reason why we have these doubts is mainly that we don’t understand the principle by which God chooses to work in the form of the Spirit or in the way of being incarnated. Actually, no matter whether God chooses to work in the form of the Spirit or in the way of being incarnated, it is decided according to the need of the work and the need of corrupt mankind. Whichever way is most advantageous to accomplishing the work and is most beneficial to the corrupt mankind, God will choose that way of working. In the three stages of works of God’s saving mankind, God only does the work of the Age of the Law in the form of the Spirit, and he does the works of the Age of the Grace and the Age of the Kingdom in the way of being incarnated. Then, why does God do the last two stages of works in the way of being incarnated? Almighty God says, “The reason why God does these two stages of works as the incarnated flesh is that they are really too important to the entire management work. It can almost be said that without the works of the two incarnations, the entire management work would have remained at a standstill, and the work of saving mankind would be an empty talk. Whether a work is important is judged according to the need of mankind, according to the real situation of mankind’s fall, and according to the degree of satan’s disobedience and its disturbing the work. And who is the right and competent one for the work is decided according to the nature of the working of the one who works and according to the importance of the work. According to the importance of the work, in deciding which way to do the work, doing it directly as the Spirit, doing it through being incarnated, or doing it through man, among these three ways God first eliminated the way of ‘doing it through man,’ and then according to the nature of the work and according to the nature of the working of the Spirit and the flesh, he finally decided that doing it in the flesh would be more beneficial to man than doing it as the Spirit directly and would be more advantageous to the work. These were the thoughts God had when he decided whether to do the work as the Spirit or in the flesh. The work at each stage has significance and is done on some basis, not based on mere imagination or at random, and there is some wisdom in it. This is the inside truth of God doing all the works. Especially in such a great work as working personally among men through being incarnated, there is his plan all the more. Therefore, God’s wisdom and all his being are expressed in his every act and move, every idea, and every thought in working. This is God’s more specific and systematic being. All these fine ideas and thoughts are hard for man to imagine, hard for man to believe, and even more, hard for man to know.” (fromThe Word Appears in the Flesh) From Almighty God’s words, we see that the way of God’sworking in each age is decided according to the need of mankind, the degree of the importance of the work, and the nature of the working. Next, we’ll fellowship in detail about the truths inthese aspects.
First, it is decided according to the need of the work that God does the last work not in the form of the Spirit but through being incarnated.
The reason why God worked in the form of the Spirit in the Age of the Law is that God’s work in the Age of the Law was only to lead the newborn mankind to learn how to live and itdidn’t involve the transformation of man’s disposition. Almighty God says, “In the beginning, when God led men in the Old Testament Age of the Law, it was as if he was leading little children to live. The men in the beginning were men newly born of Jehovah, that is, the Israelites. They did not know how to fear God and how to live on earth. In other words, Jehovah created men, Adam and Eve, but he did not create in them the organ by which they could know how to fear Jehovah and how to keep Jehovah’s laws on earth. … They just knew to enjoy the enjoyable things among all things created by Jehovah, but were utterly ignorant what kind of life they should have on earth so that they could be called created beings. Such mankind, if not directed or personally led by anybody, would never have had a normal human life and could only have been taken captive by satan secretly.… So, after mankind was created, Jehovah’s work had not been finished. He had to lead mankind completely into his presence and make them know how to live together on earth and how to fear him, so that they could enter the right track of a normal human life on earth after he led them.” “The reason why the work in the first stage was directly done by the Spirit was that men under the law only knew to keep the law and did not have more truth and that the work of the Age of the Law hardly had to do with the transformation of man’s disposition, much less did it have to do with the work concerning how to save man from satan’s authority. As such, the Spirit of God completed that stage of very simple work which had nothing to do with man’s corrupt disposition. That stage of work did not have much to do with the kernel of the management or with the work of formally saving man, so there was no need for God to be incarnated to do it personally.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh) In the Age of the Grace, God worked in the way of being incarnated, because the work of the Age of the Grace involved warring against satan. Since men were corrupted by satan more and more deeply and were less and less able to keep the law, God needed to redeem men from satan’s authority and needed to use a sin offering to exchange for mankind. However, the Spirit couldn’t be a sin offering, because the Spirit couldn’t be crucified and couldn’t shed blood or undergo suffering. Thus, God had to be incarnatedpersonally to be crucified for man. Besides, if God had not been incarnated but had forgiven man’s sins by saying just one word, though God was able to do that, satan would not have beensubdued. It would say, “God, you have not undergone any suffering or paid any price. You forgive man’s sins by saying only one word; it won’t do. Because man was created by you, you must pay the price and be mankind’s sin offering.” So, in order to defeat satan and make it subdued, God came to earth personally through being incarnated to war against satan. Almighty God says, “Only God’s incarnated flesh could be crucified to redeem man; God’s Spirit, however, could not at all be crucified to be man’s sin offering. God could directly become flesh to be man’s sin offering, but man could not directly go to heaven to take the sin offering God had prepared for man. Thus, it had to be that ‘God comes and goes between earth and heaven several times’ rather than let man go to heaven to take this salvation. As man had fallen and man could not go to heaven at all, much less take the sin offering, Jesus had to come among men to personally do the works that were totally beyond man’s capacity. God’s incarnated flesh each time is very necessary. If either stage of work could be done by God’s Spirit directly, he would not endure complaints and suffer humiliations to be incarnated.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh) Through being incarnated, God served as mankind’s sin offering and redeemed man from satan’s authority, so satan got no handle. Hence, we can see that the redemptive work of the Age of the Grace had to be done by God personally through being incarnated so that the results could be achieved.
In the end time, God has again been incarnated, because what God does is the work ofchastising and judging with the word, but the Spirit can’t directly do the work of judgment. The Spirit can’t directly contact man and the voice the Spirit utters is like thunder, which man can’tunderstand. So, if the Spirit did the work of judgment, it couldn’t achieve the due results. Almighty God says, “Because it is to judge corrupted man, man of flesh, not to judge satan’s spirit directly, the work of judgment is not carried out in the spiritual realm but among men. As to the work of judging the corruption of man’s flesh, only the God in the flesh is most suitable to do it, and only the God in the flesh is most qualified to do it. If the Spirit of God judged directly, he could not deal with every aspect, and that would be difficult for man to accept, because the Spirit cannot come face to face with man. Simply because of this, it could not produce immediate results, much less cause man to see more clearly God’s disposition which is not to be offended. Only if the God in the flesh judges mankind’s corruption does it mean defeating satan thoroughly. … If the Spirit of God did this work, it would not mean overcoming satan. The Spirit is originally greater than mortal beings, and God’s Spirit is originally holy and victorious over the flesh. If the Spirit did this work directly, he could not judge all man’s disobedience or expose all man’s unrighteousness, because the work of judgment is done through man’s notions about God but man has no notions about the Spirit. So, the Spirit cannot better expose man’s unrighteousness, much less disclose man’s unrighteousness thoroughly.” (from The WordAppears in the Flesh) From Almighty God’s words, we can see that since the end-time work ofjudgment is done not in the spiritual realm but in the world, undoubtedly only through God’s being incarnated can it achieve better results. And the main reason is that the end-time work is mainly a work of removing sin and purifying and transforming man, so that man will no longer live in the vicious circle of committing sins and confessing them and thus be bound and restrained by sins, but can come out of satan’s power of darkness completely and live before God freely. To achieve such a result of the work, God has to be incarnated, expressing the word and contacting men practically, so that men will have practical and definite goals to pursue, can gradually break away from being bound and restrained by the flesh, and will no longer live in sins. Only through such a way to defeat satan can satan be completely subdued. If God’s Spiritdirectly destroyed satan’s spirit, not only would satan be not subdued, but man couldn’t touch the practical ways to pursue to be transformed in his disposition because the spirit is untouchable, and man’s old nature could never be resolved, and man could never truly become subject under God’s authority, but could only live under satan’s authority and be devoured by it.Hence, God has to be incarnated to conquer, perfect, and purify man through doing the work ofjudgment, so as to achieve the better result of the work, which can not only defeat satan butalso save mankind. Almighty God says, “Man’s flesh is corrupted by satan, and the flesh is most deeply blinded and is the one deeply afflicted. The most basic reason why God personally works in the flesh is that the object of salvation is man of flesh and that satan uses man’s flesh to disturb God’s work. The war against satan is actually a work of conquering man, and at the same time man is the object of salvation. Thus, it is very necessary for God to work through being incarnated. Satan corrupts man’s flesh, so man becomes the embodiment of satan and becomes the one to be defeated by God. Thus, the works of warring against satan and saving mankind are on earth, and God has to become a man to war against satan. This is the most realistic work. When he works in the flesh, actually he is warring against satan in the flesh. When he works in the flesh, he is doing his work of the spiritual realm. He has all his work of the spiritual realm realized on earth. The one he conquers is man who disobeys him. The one he defeats is satan’s embodiment (of course, also man) which is hostile to him. And the one who will be saved in the end is still man. Thus, it is even more necessary for him to become a man who has the outer shell of a created being, so that he can war against satan practically, conquering man who disobeys him and who has the same outer shell as his, and saving man who has the same outer shell as his and who is afflicted by satan. His enemy is man, the one he conquers is man, and the one he saves is still created man, so he has to become a man. In this way, his working is much more convenient, being not only able to defeat satan, but also to conquer mankind, and even more to save mankind. Although the ‘flesh’ is normal and practical, he is not a common flesh or a flesh only with humanity, but a flesh with humanity and divinity. This is his difference from man, and this is the mark of his identity as God. Only such a flesh can do the work he wants to do, can fulfill the ministry of the God in the flesh, and can complete his work among men thoroughly. Otherwise, his work among men will forever be a blank and a hole. Even if God can war against satan’s spirit and win, the old disposition of corrupted men can never be resolved, and men who disobey and resist him can never truly become subject under his authority. That is, he can never conquer mankind and can never gain all mankind. If his work on earth could not be settled, his management could not end, and the whole mankind could not enter into rest. If God and all created beings could not enter into rest, such a management work would never produce the results, and God’s glory would also disappear.” “He does not directly destroy satan but works through being incarnated to conquer mankind corrupted by satan. In this way, he can better bear his own testimony among created beings and can better save corrupted man. It is a more powerful testimony and is more convincing for God’s incarnated flesh to defeat satan than for God’s Spirit to destroy satan directly. The God in the flesh is more beneficial to man’s knowing the Creator and can better bear his testimony among created beings.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh)
Besides, God works in the end time through being incarnated also for the purpose that man can have a more accurate and practical knowledge of God and can see all God’s disposition. If God were not incarnated, as man can’t see or touch God’s Spirit, man could only imagine withhis mind what kind of God God is and what disposition and substance God has. But such knowledge is not practical or accurate. So, it is necessary for God to be incarnated and come among men to practically express his disposition through speaking, so that man can see it withhis own eyes. Only in this way can man practically know God’s disposition. However, this result can’t be achieved by the Spirit’s working. Because man and the Spirit are not of the same kind and the Spirit is invisible and intangible to man, man of flesh and God’s Spirit can’t “establish a relationship.” If man can’t practically contact God, he can’t understand God or know God. This is like making friends with someone. Before you contact him, your knowledge about him isn’t practical. Only through practically contacting him can you have a practical knowledge andunderstanding of his character, temperament, likes, and so on. For mankind to understand and know God, God has to become a man through being incarnated. Only in this way can peoplepractically contact God and come to know God. In the Age of the Grace, the Lord Jesus was incarnated, and through his work and word, people saw God’s mercy and lovingkindness, saw that God was a God who loved man, and practically tasted God’s love for man. The knowledge of God that such work brought to people was much more practical than the knowledge of Godthe people in the Age of the Law had. However, what people saw in the Age of the Grace was only a part of disposition expressed by God. They couldn’t see all God’s disposition in the Lord Jesus. After experiencing the Lord Jesus’ work, people circumscribed God: God is a God of mercy and lovingkindness. God doesn’t punish man or curse man, much less get angry with man. And no matter how we resist God, he will forgive us. Such knowledge of God is not factual. This is because God’s disposition is not only these, but God also has the disposition of righteousness, majesty, wrath, judgment, chastisement, intolerance of man’s offense, and so on. In order for people to have more knowledge of God, God has to be incarnated and come to earth to expressall his disposition through working and speaking for people to see, so that people can have a fullknowledge of God’s disposition, seeing that God is not only a God of mercy and lovingkindness but also a God of righteousness and majesty and God can punish and curse man…. Thus, people’s knowledge of God will be much more full, accurate, and practical. This is another aspect of the significance of God’s second incarnation. Almighty God says, “If only the Spirit does the work, people will have no way to know God’s disposition. Only if God, through being incarnated and the Word appearing in the flesh, expresses all his disposition through the flesh, can people see it with their own eyes. Only if God practically lives among people, with form and image, and people all practically contact his disposition and contact what he has and is, can they truly know him.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh)
Second, it is according to the need of corrupt mankind that in the end-time work God doesn’t work in the form of the Spirit but in the way of being incarnated.
Almighty God says, “For everyone who lives in the flesh, to pursue to be transformed in their disposition, they have to have goals to pursue, and to pursue to know God, they have to see God’s practical deeds and God’s real image. And these two can only be fulfilled by God’s incarnated flesh and can only be fulfilled by a normal and practical flesh. This is the necessity of God’s incarnation, which is the need of all corrupt mankind.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh) The Spirit is formless and imageless and is invisible and intangible. The work done by the Spirit is hidden and unfathomable, and it is fearful and inapproachable.As it is recorded in the Bible, “And all the people saw the thunder, and the lightning, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said to Moses, Speak you with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:18-19) From this we see that when the people of that time saw Jehovah, they were not happy but trembled with fear, not wanting God to speak to them. From this we see that man can’t contact God’s Spirit directly. Jehovah once said to Moses,“You can not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.” (Exodus 33:20) From this we see that corrupt man can’t contact God’s Spirit. If he contacts, he will be struck down by God. Moreover, if man violates God’s requirements, he will also be struck down by God. For example, when David led all the house of Israel to bring up the ark of God from Baalah of Judah, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark because the oxen stumbled, and thus he offended God’s disposition and was struck down by God’s Spirit. However, things are different when God works through being incarnated. For example, it is recorded in the Gospel of John that an adulteress was caught and brought before Jesus, but Jesus forgave her and told her to leave her life of sin. From this example we can see that when God works through being incarnated, hecan sympathize with man’s weaknesses, can give man chances to repent, and can better saveman. Just as Almighty God says, “God does not save man directly in the form of the Spirit or in the identity of the Spirit, because his Spirit is untouchable and invisible to man and also unapproachable to man. If he saved man directly in the position of the Spirit, man could not receive his salvation. If God did not put on a shell of a created man, man could not receive this salvation either. This is because man could in no way approach him, just as no one could approach the cloud of Jehovah. Only if he becomes a created man, that is, he puts his ‘Way’ into the flesh he will become, can he personally work the ‘Way’ into all his followers and can they personally hear his way and see his way and thus gain his way. Only in this way can they be completely saved. If God were not incarnated, no fleshly man could receive this exceedingly great salvation, and no one could be saved. If God’s Spirit directly worked among men, they all would be struck down, or they would be completely taken captive by satan because they had no way to contact God.” (from The Word Appearsin the Flesh)
Only if God works through being incarnated can man’s disobedience be completely revealed and can the work of judgment be done fully and thoroughly. Because man has no notions about God’s Spirit, if God’s Spirit came to do the work of judgment, who would dare to resist? Men would all fall down before the Spirit. So, man’s notions, circumscriptions, disobedience, and resistance against God couldn’t be revealed. And when God judged man’s disobedience and corruption, man would not be convinced. Because man didn’t express them, he couldn’t know them or acknowledge them. However, when God comes to earth and becomes an ordinary flesh to work among men, man’s notions, imaginations, resistance, and disobedience can be revealed, so that God can grasp the facts of man’s resisting and disobeying and thereby judge man. Only because of the facts God reveals can man be sincerely convinced, falling down before God, and thus God can achieve the purpose of conquering man and saving man. Almighty God says, “If God’s Spirit directly spoke to people, they all would submit before his ‘voice’ and would fall without his exposing them with the word, just as Paul fell in the light on his way to Damascus. If God still worked that way, people could never know their corruptions and thus be saved through the judgment of the word. Only if God is incarnated can he personally deliver his word to everyone’s ears, so that all those who have ears can hear his word and receive the work of the judgment of his word. This is the result produced by his word. It is not that the Spirit appears to people to ‘overawe’ them. Only through such practical and extraordinary work can the old dispositions hidden in people’s innermost being for many years be exposed completely, so that they can know them and have them transformed. … The reason why God is incarnated is that his flesh can also have authority and can practically work among people, which is visible and touchable. Such working is much more practical than the direct working of God’s Spirit who has all the authority, and its results are obvious. This is because God’s incarnated flesh can speak and work practically, and the outer shell of his flesh does not have authority and all people can approach him, but his substance has authority and yet no one can see his authority. Even when he speaks and works, people cannot discover the existence of his authority. This is more helpful to his working practically. All his practical works can produce results. Although people do not know that he has authority and cannot see his not being to be offended or his wrath, he achieves the results of his speaking just through his hidden authority, hidden wrath, and open word. That is, he makes people sincerely convinced through the tones of his speaking, the severity of his speaking, and all the wisdom of his word. Thus, people will all become obedient under the word of the incarnated God who seems to have no authority. Then God’s purpose of saving man will have been achieved. This is another significance of his incarnation: to speak more practically and to make the reality of his word produce results in people so that they can see the power of God’s word.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh) Thus it can be seen that God’s doing the end-time work of judgment in the way of being incarnated is most beneficial to us corrupt mankind, and corrupt mankind needs even more the salvation of the incarnated God.
Third, it is decided according to the nature of the working of the Spirit and the flesh that God does the end-time work not in the form of the Spirit but through being incarnated.
When the Spirit works on people, he can only give them inspiration, enlightenment, moving, and guidance, and can only give them a roughly similar idea. Thus, it is difficult for people who have mental thinking and are deeply corrupted by satan to accurately touch God’s will. If God personally works among people through being incarnated, he can directly tell them his accurate will, and they don’t need to imagine or guess. From this we can see that for theones to be saved, God’s working through being incarnated is more beneficial than the Spirit’s working. Just as Almighty God’s word says, “For those to be saved, the use value of the Spirit is far lower than that of the flesh: The working of the Spirit can cover the entire universe and reach the mountains, rivers, and lakes; but the working of the flesh can more effectively touch everyone who contacts him, and the flesh who has form and image can better gain people’s understanding and trust and can better deepen their knowledge of God and deepen their impression of God’s practical deeds. The working of the Spirit is mysterious and unfathomable, and mortal beings can hardly foresee it, much less see it, but can only imagine it without any basis. The working of the flesh is normal and practical and full of wisdom and is a fact that mortal beings can see with their own eyes, and people can all personally taste God’s working wisdom, without any need to use their rich imagination. This is the exactness and the real value of the working of the God in the flesh. The Spirit can only do some things invisible and unimaginable to man, such as, the inspiration of the Spirit, the moving of the Spirit, and the guidance of the Spirit. However, to people with mind, these works of the Spirit cannot give them a clear idea but can only give them a moving or a roughly similar idea, and cannot give instructions with words. But God’s working in the flesh is quite different from that. The working of the flesh can give exact guidance of words, clear wills, and clear required goals, and people do not need to grope or imagine, much less guess. This is the clarity of the working of the flesh, which is quite different from the working of the Spirit. The working of the Spirit can only be applicable to a limited scope and cannot replace the working of the flesh. The exact goals for people required by the working of the flesh and the real value of the knowledge people gain through it far surpass the exactness and the real value of the working of the Spirit. To corrupt people, only exact words, clear goals to pursue, and visible and touchable works are the most valuable works. Only realistic works and timely guidance can fit people’s taste, and only practical works can save people from their corrupt and fallen disposition; these can only be fulfilled by the incarnated God. Only the incarnated God can save people from their corrupt and fallen old disposition. Although the Spirit is God’s original substance, such work can only be accomplished through the flesh. If the Spirit alone worked, the results of the work could not be achieved. This is an obvious fact. Although most people become God’s enemies because of this flesh, when this flesh finishes all his work, those who are hostile to him not only will no longer be his enemies but instead will become his witnesses, the witnesses who are conquered by him and the witnesses who are compatible with him and cannot bear to part from him.” “The greatest advantage of God’s working in the flesh is that he can leave his followers exact words, exact charges, and his exact wills for mankind. Then his followers can preach all his works in the flesh and his will for all mankind in a more accurate and practical way to everyone who accepts this way. Only when the God in the flesh works among men has the fact been really fulfilled that God is with men and lives with men and has the wish been realized that all men see God’s face and God’s work and hear God’s personal word. The incarnated God has ended the age when ‘only Jehovah’s back appeared to mankind’ and ended the age when mankind believed in the vague god.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh) Almighty God’s words make us understand that God’s working in the way of being incarnated in the end time is determined by the nature of the working of the flesh. That is to say, God’s working through being incarnated is more beneficial to corrupt mankind’s understanding God’s will and receiving God’s salvation.
Let’s read another passage of Almighty God’s word. Almighty God says, “God can save corrupt man from satan’s power, but this work cannot be directly accomplished by God’s Spirit. Rather, it can only be done by the flesh God’s Spirit is clothed with, by the flesh God is incarnated in. This flesh is a man and is God, a man with a normal humanity and God with full divinity. So, although this flesh is not the Spirit of God and is greatly different from the Spirit, the One who saves man is still the incarnated God Godself, who is the Spirit and is a flesh. No matter how he is addressed, it is God Godself who saves mankind. This is because God’s Spirit and flesh are inseparable, and it is the work done by the flesh and is also the work done by the Spirit of God, which, however, is not done by him as the Spirit but as the flesh. A work that needs to be done directly by the Spirit does not need to be done through being incarnated, and a work that needs to be done by the flesh cannot be done by the Spirit directly but can only be done through being incarnated. All this is the need of the work and the need of corrupt mankind. Of the three stages of works, only one stage was done by the Spirit directly, while the other two stages are done by the incarnated God, not done by the Spirit directly. The work of the law done by the Spirit had nothing to do with transforming man’s corrupt disposition or man’s knowing God. But the works of the Age of the Grace and of the Age of the Kingdom done by the flesh have to do with man’s corrupt disposition and man’s knowing God. The works done by the flesh are the important and crucial works in the work of salvation. So, corrupt mankind needs even more the salvation of the incarnated God and needs even more the direct work of the incarnated God. Mankind needs the shepherding, sustenance, watering, feeding, judgment, and chastisement of the incarnated God and needs more grace and greater redemption of the incarnated God. Only the God in the flesh can be man’s intimate friend, man’s shepherd, and man’s ever-present help. All this is the necessity of God’s being incarnated today and before.” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh)From God’s words, we see that God’s last work of conquering and perfecting has to be done by God through being incarnated. Only if God works through being incarnated can corrupt mankind receive God’s direct supply and receive God’s personal shepherding, sustaining, watering, and feeding. That is to say, only if God works through being incarnated can he achieve better results of saving man.
Brothers and sisters, whether God does each stage of work in the form of the Spirit or in the way of being incarnated, it is decided according to the need of the work and the need of corrupt mankind and also according to the different nature of the working of the Spirit and the flesh. In short, no matter what way of working God chooses, it is for better saving mankind, is most beneficial to man, and is the most appropriate way. We just need to obey in a simple way. In this way, we surely can receive God’s blessings and receive the extremely great salvation God has brought to us in the end time.
Finally, let’s enjoy one more passage of Almighty God’s word, “This time God comes to work not as a spiritual body but as a very ordinary body, a body in which God is incarnated the second time, a body in which God returns in the flesh, and a very ordinary flesh. You cannot see in him anything different from others, but you can receive from him the truth you have never heard. Such a small flesh is the embodiment of all the words of truth of God, the undertaker of God’s end-time work, and the expression for man to know all God’s disposition. Don’t you want very much to see the God in heaven? Don’t you want very much to know about the God in heaven? Don’t you want very much to see mankind’s destination? He will tell you all these secrets no one can ever tell you, and he will tell you the truths you do not understand. He is the gate for you to enter into the kingdom and is also the guide for you to enter into the new age. Such an ordinary flesh has many mysteries that man cannot fathom, and what he does is unfathomable to you. But all the goals of the works he does are sufficient for you to see that he is not a simple flesh asman thinks. This is because he represents God’s will in the end time and represents God’s care for mankind in the end time. Although you cannot hear him speak in a way like shaking heaven and earth, although you cannot see his eyes like a flame of fire, and although you will not be disciplined by his iron rod, you can from his speaking hear that God is angry, know that God is merciful to mankind, see God’s righteous disposition, see where God’s wisdom is, and even more taste God’s care for all mankind. The work God does in the end time is for the purpose that man can see on earth the God in heaven living among men and that man can know God, obey God, fear God, and love God. This is why he has returned in the flesh the second time. Although the God man sees today is a God who looks the same as man, is a God who has a nose and eyes, and is a very inconspicuous God, in the end God will cause you to see that without the existence of this person, heaven and earth will change tremendously, and without the existence of this person, heaven will become dark, earth will become chaotic, and all mankind will live in famines and plagues. You will be caused to see that without the end-time incarnated God coming to save you, God would have long destroyed all men in hell, and that without the existence of this flesh, you would forever be the foremost of sinners and forever be corpses. You should know that without the existence of this flesh, the whole mankind could not escape a great catastrophe and could not escape God’s severer punishment on mankind in the end time. Without the birth of this ordinary flesh, you all would seek survival but could not find it and seek death but could not find it. Without the living of this flesh, today you could not receive the truth and come before God’s throne, but on the contrary you all would have been punished by God for being grievously sinful. Do you know? If God had not returned in the flesh, no one would have the opportunity to be saved, and if it were not for the coming of this flesh, God would have long ended the old age. Then, can you reject God’s second incarnated flesh? Since this ordinary person is so beneficial to you, why not accept him readily?” (from The Word Appears in the Flesh)
The
Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the
returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “Almighty
God”—in China, and it isn't established by any person. Christ
is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s
expression, you will see that God has appeared.
