Only God’s Three Stages of Work Are His Complete Work for Saving Mankind

All those who truly believed in the Lord Jesus in the Age of Grace were able to recognize that He truly did one stage of the work of redeeming mankind. He became a sin offering successfully for corrupt mankind through being nailed to the cross, which is why corrupt humanity could come in front of God, pray in the name of the Lord Jesus and acknowledge their sins, unreservedly admit all of their sins to God, express repentance, and thus gain God’s pardon and forgiveness. They could enjoy the peace and joy deep in their hearts of being immediately pardoned, and then no matter what they requested in prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus, God would bestow it upon them. They could find what they sought, they could knock, and He would open, and thus people could see God’s faithfulness and His almightiness and also know that God’s disposition is full of mercy and love, which fully proves that the Lord Jesus’ work of redemption was genuine. Because of this, people developed true faith in God. But people excitedly believed that they could rely on the Lord Jesus’ sin offering to gain forgiveness for their sins, and rely on grace to be saved and enter into the kingdom of heaven, yet they also agonized because of getting a taste of being subjected to the bonds of Satan’s sinful nature, frequently sinning, and shaming and resisting God. So, when they read this from the Book of Hebrews in the Bible: “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:26), they suddenly felt puzzled: “Could it be that those who often sin this way can enter the kingdom of heaven?” Although it is a fact that those who believe in the Lord can be forgiven of their sins, people’s sinful nature has not been changed or resolved, so they will continue to sin and resist God as always. This is also a fact. However, God is a holy and righteous God, so could He truly allow those corrupt humans who frequently sin and resist God to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Particularly when people see in the Book of Revelation that there is a scroll in God’s right hand that is sealed with seven seals and no man is worthy of opening it and man cries, they feel that there must be some hidden mysteries in God’s work of saving mankind that have not yet been unraveled, and that God’s work of saving mankind absolutely cannot be that simple. These things are unfathomable mysteries for all those who believe in God because the Lord Jesus never said that all those who call out to the Lord can enter the kingdom of heaven. He said that only those who obey the will of the heavenly Father can enter the kingdom of heaven. This stumps everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus. It seems that believing in God, obtaining salvation, and entering into the kingdom of heaven is no easy thing. This is a far cry from the imagination and expectation of believing that just by believing in the Lord, one can gain salvation and enter the kingdom of heaven. In all religious churches they mention “justification by faith” and “salvation through grace,” but hardly anyone can explain what kind of people are ones who obey God’s will, and what is being truly saved and being able to enter into the kingdom of heaven. No one can actually explain this clearly. However, just as everyone in the religious world was gazing up to the heaven and hoping for the Lord Jesus to descend on a cloud, God had long ago quietly been incarnated, becoming the Son of Man and secretly descending to the Chinese mainland. In 1991, He officially started His work of judgment beginning with the house of God. Almighty God in the flesh has expressed all the truths of saving mankind, and has totally revealed the mysteries of God’s management of saving mankind, fully opening up the completely sealed scroll from the Book of Revelation. Only then God’s chosen people who have accepted God’s work in the last days have seen that the work of redemption done by the Lord Jesus in the Age of Grace was only to pave the way for the work of God’s judgment of mankind in the last days and that of thoroughly saving mankind. Only those who accept God’s work of judgment and chastisement in the last days can be fully cleansed, gain salvation, cast off their sins, and genuinely turn toward God to live in front of Him, becoming people who truly obey and worship God. Only now have God’s chosen people really seen the work in the last days done by the return of the Lord Jesus, Almighty God, is the work of thoroughly saving mankind and ending the age. In Almighty God’s work of the last days, He has fully revealed all truth and all mysteries, allowing people to open their eyes wide and see their fill. He has also revealed and exposed the mysteries of the little scroll from the Book of Revelation: “I will tell you this when I open My scroll in the last days. (The scroll refers to all of the words that I have spoken, My words in the last days—this is all inside of it)” (“The One Hundred and Tenth Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “The three stages of work are the inside story of God’s management of man, the advent of the gospel of the entire universe, the greatest mystery among all mankind, and are also the foundation of spreading the gospel. If you only focus on understanding simple truths that relate to your life, and know nothing of this, the greatest of all mysteries and visions, then is your life not akin to a defective product, good for nothing except being looked at?” (“Knowing the Three Stages of God’s Work Is the Path to Knowing God” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). The words of Almighty God have fully proven that only God’s three stages of work are His complete work for saving mankind. It’s clear that the mysteries of God’s management of saving mankind have been fully opened up. How could this not be exhilarating for people!

The Relationship Between Each of the Three Stages of God’s Work

Relevant Words of God:

From the work of Jehovah to that of Jesus, and from the work of Jesus to that of this current stage, these three stages cover in a continuous thread the entire gamut of God’s management, and are all the work of one Spirit. Since the creation of the world, God has always been at work managing mankind. He is the Beginning and the End, He is the First and the Last, and He is the One who begins an age and the One who brings the age to an end. The three stages of work, in different ages and different locations, are unmistakably the work of one Spirit. All those who separate these three stages stand in opposition to God.

Why is it said that corrupt mankind is more in need of the salvation of God become flesh?

(Selected Passage of God’s Word)

God became flesh because the object of His work is not the spirit of Satan, or any incorporeal thing, but man, who is of the flesh and has been corrupted by Satan. It is precisely because the flesh of man has been corrupted that God has made fleshly man the object of His work; moreover, because man is the object of corruption, He has made man the only object of His work throughout all the stages of His salvation work. Man is a mortal being, is of flesh and blood, and God is the only One who can save man. In this way, God must become a flesh that possesses the same attributes as man in order to do His work, so that His work might achieve better effects. God must become flesh to do His work precisely because man is of the flesh, and incapable of overcoming sin or divesting himself of the flesh. Though the substance and identity of God incarnate differ greatly from the substance and identity of man, yet His appearance is identical to that of man, He has the appearance of a normal person, and leads the life of a normal person, and those who see Him can discern no difference to a normal person. This normal appearance and normal humanity are sufficient for Him to do His divine work in normal humanity. His flesh allows Him to do His work in normal humanity, and helps Him do His work among man, and His normal humanity, moreover, helps Him carry out the work of salvation among man. Although His normal humanity has caused much tumult among man, such tumult has not impacted the normal effects of His work. In short, the work of His normal flesh is of supreme benefit to man. Though most people do not accept His normal humanity, His work can still be effective, and these effects are achieved thanks to His normal humanity. Of this there is no doubt. From His work in the flesh, man gains ten times or dozens of times more things than the conceptions that exist among man about His normal humanity, and such conceptions shall all ultimately be swallowed by His work. And the effect that His work has achieved, which is to say, the knowledge that man has toward Him, far outnumbers man’s conceptions about Him. There is no way to imagine or measure the work He does in the flesh, for His flesh is unlike that of any fleshly man; although the outer shell is identical, the substance is not the same. His flesh produces many conceptions among man about God, yet His flesh can also allow man to acquire much knowledge, and can even conquer any man possessed of a similar outer shell. For He is not merely a man, but is God with the outer shell of a man, and none can completely fathom or understand Him. An invisible and intangible God is loved and welcomed by all. If God is just a Spirit that is invisible to man, it is so easy for man to believe in God. Man can give free rein to his imagination, can choose whatever image he likes as God’s image to please himself and make himself feel happy. In this way, man may do whatever is most pleasing to his own God, and that which this God is most willing to do, without any scruples. What’s more, man believes that no one is more loyal and devout than he toward God, and that all others are Gentile dogs, and disloyal to God. It can be said that this is what is sought by those whose belief in God is vague and based on doctrine; what they seek is all much the same, with little variation. It is merely that the images of God in their imaginations are different, yet their substance is actually the same.
