信神必须寻求与基督相合才能达到蒙拯救

我在人中间生活人都不知道我的存在，我将我的光照耀在人的身上之时，人仍旧不知道我的存在，当我的烈怒降在人的身上之时人更加否认我的存在。人都寻求与字句相合，与圣经相合，却无一人来到我前寻求与真理相合之道。人都在仰望天上的我，人都特别在乎天上的我的存在，却没有一个人在乎活在肉身中的我，因为活在人中间的我简直太渺小了。那些只寻求与圣经的字句相合的人，那些只寻求与渺茫的神相合的人，在我的眼中看为卑贱，因为他们崇拜的是死的字句，崇拜的是能赐给人万贯家产的神，崇拜的是并不存在的任人摆布的神。这样的人又能从我得着什么呢？人的卑贱简直不堪言语，这些与我为敌的人，这些对我有无限的索取的人，这些并不喜爱真理的人，这些悖逆我的人怎能与我相合呢？

如今的人又是怎样呢？为了上天堂、为了得恩典人都宁愿将已经来到的释放真理的基督赶出人间；为了维护圣经的利益人都宁愿将真理的到来全部抹煞掉；为了维护圣经的永远存在，人都宁愿将第二次重返肉身的基督再次钉在十字架上。人的心地如此恶毒，人的本性如此与我敌对，又怎能得到我的拯救呢？

他们天天在圣经里寻找我的踪迹，随便找一段“合适”的话就读起来没完没了，而且当作“经”来背诵，他们不知道怎样与我相合，不知道什么是与我为敌，只是一味地念“经”。他们把根本就没看见过的、根本就看不着的渺茫的神定规在了圣经之中，在闲暇之余就拿起来看看。他们在圣经的范围之内信仰我的存在，他们把“我”与“经”划为等号，没有“经”就没有“我”，没有“我”就没有“经”。他们并不在乎我的存在，并不在乎我的作为，而是非常、特别在乎每一句经文，甚至更多的人认为没有经文的预言我就不该作任何一件我愿意作的事情。他们把经文看得太重要了，可以说他们把字句看得太重要了，以至于他们用圣经的章节来衡量我的每一句说话，用圣经的章节来定我的罪。他们寻求的不是与我相合之道，他们寻求的不是与真理相合之道，而是寻求与圣经的字句能相符合的道，他们认为凡是与圣经不合的一律不是我的作工，这些人不都是法利赛人的孝子贤孙吗？那些犹太的法利赛人以摩西的律法来定耶稣的罪，他们不寻求与当今的耶稣如何相合，而是认真地对待每一句律法，以至于他们最终以耶稣不守旧约律法、以耶稣并不是弥赛亚为罪名而将本来无罪的耶稣钉在了十字架上。他们的本质是什么？不就是他们并不寻求与真理相合之道吗？他们只留心“经文”的字字句句，却并不在意我的心意与我的作工步骤和作工方式。他们并不是寻求真理的人，而是死守字句的人；他们不是相信神的人，而是相信圣经的人，说得透彻点，他们都是圣经的看家奴。为了维护圣经的利益，为了维护圣经的尊严，为了维护圣经的名望，他们竟然将仁慈的耶稣钉在了十字架上。他们这样做只是为了圣经抱打不平，只是为了维护圣经的字字句句在人心中的地位，所以他们宁可断送自己的前途，宁可得不到赎罪祭，也要将与经文的规定不合的耶稣处死。难道他们不都是每一句经文的走狗吗？

摘自《你当寻求与基督相合之道》

ONLY THOSE WHO SEEK THE WAY TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH CHRIST CAN BE SAVED

When I live among people, no one knows my existence. When I shine my light upon people, they still do not know my existence. When my wrath falls upon people, they deny my existence all the more. People all seek to be compatible with the letters and with the Bible, but no one comes before me to seek the way to be compatible with the truth. People all look up to the me in heaven and care greatly about the existence of the me in heaven, but no one cares about the me living in the flesh, because the I living among people is simply too small. Those who only seek to be compatible with the letters of the Bible and those who only seek to be compatible with the vague god are low in my sight, because what they worship is dead letters, is a God that can bestow vast wealth to man, and is a nonexistent god manipulated by man in any way. What can such people receive from me? People’s lowness is simply unspeakable. How could these people who are against me, who demand from me endlessly, who do not love the truth, and who disobey me, be compatible with me?

How about people of today? In order to go to heaven and to receive grace, they all would rather drive out of the world the Christ who has come and who releases the truth; in order to safeguard the interests of the Bible, they all would rather completely annul the coming of the truth; in order to maintain the eternal existence of the Bible, they all would rather again nail onto the cross the Christ who has returned in the flesh the second time. People’s hearts are so malicious, and their inherent nature is so hostile to me. So how could they receive my salvation?

They search for my footprints in the Bible every day. Casually getting a “suitable” passage, they read it endlessly and memorize it as “scriptures.” They do not know how to be compatible with me or what it means to be against me, but just blindly chant “scriptures.” They circumscribe within the Bible the vague god, which they have never seen and which cannot be seen at all, and they pick it up and read it at their leisure. They believe in my existence within the bound of the Bible. They equate “me” with the “Bible”: no “Bible,” no “me,” and no “me,” no “Bible.” They do not care about my existence or my deeds, but care much and greatly about every word of the Scriptures. More people even think that without the prophesying of the Scriptures, I should not do anything I wish to do. They consider the Scriptures to be too important, or it can be said that they consider the letters to be too important, so much so that they measure every word of mine by the verses of the Bible and condemn me by the verses of the Bible. What they seek is not the way to be compatible with me or the way to be compatible with the truth, but the way that can agree with the letters of the Bible. They think that any work that does not agree with the Bible is not my work. Aren’t all these people true sons of the Pharisees? The Jewish Pharisees condemned Jesus by the law of Moses. They did not seek how to be compatible with the Jesus of their day but treated every word of the law seriously. Thus, they eventually nailed the sinless Jesus onto the cross on the charge that Jesus did not keep the law of the Old Testament and that Jesus was not the Messiah. What was their essence? Wasn’t it that they did not seek the way to be compatible with the truth? They only paid attention to every word and letter of the “Scriptures,” but paid no attention to my will and the steps and the ways of my working. They were not ones who sought the truth but ones who rigidly observed the letters. They were not ones who believed in God but ones who believed in the Bible. To put it incisively, they all were watchdogs of the Bible. In order to safeguard the interests of the Bible, to safeguard the dignity of the Bible, and to safeguard the reputation of the Bible, they even nailed the merciful Jesus onto the cross. They did so only in order to defend the Bible and to maintain the place of every word and letter of the Bible in people’s heart. So, they would rather forfeit their future and receive no sin offering than not have Jesus executed who was incompatible with the rules in the Scriptures. Weren’t they all running dogs of every word of the Scriptures?

If you cannot accept the new light coming from God and cannot see clearly what God does today and yet do not seek but doubt, judge, or research and analyze it, such people are all not ones who intentionally obey. When the present light comes, you, however, still treasure the light of yesterday and resist the new work; such people are purely absurd ones and are ones who deliberately resist God. The crucial point in obeying God is to be able to receive the newest light and to accept and practice it. This is true obedience. If one does not have the will of thirsting for God, he will not be able to intentionally obey God, but will only resist God because of being content with his present situation. Man cannot obey God because he is occupied by his original things. These things have become within him various kinds of notions and various kinds of imaginations about God, and these have all become God’s image in his heart. Therefore, what man believes in is his own notions and his own imagined standards. If you measure the God who works practically today against the god you imagine in your mind, then your belief is from satan, and you are believing in God with your own preferences. God does not want such belief. As for all those who believe in God this way, no matter how senior they are or how much they spend, even if they spend their lifetime energies to work for God and are even martyred, God will not approve such believers in him but will only give them some grace for them to enjoy temporarily. Such people cannot possibly practice the truth. The Holy Spirit will not work on them, and God will eliminate them one by one. All those who believe in God but do not obey God and have wrong intents, whether old or young, are the ones who resist and disrupt. Such people are undoubtedly the ones to be eliminated. Those who do not have any element of obedience to God but only acknowledge God’s name and somewhat feel that God is dear and lovely and yet cannot follow the step of the Holy Spirit or obey the present work and word of the Holy Spirit are ones who live in God’s grace, and they cannot be gained by God or perfected by God. God perfects people through their obedience, through their eating and drinking and enjoying God’s word, and through the sufferings and refinings in their life. Only by believing in God this way can people be transformed in their nature and have a true knowledge of God. Not being content with living in God’s grace but initiatively thirsting for and seeking the truth and pursuing to be gained by God, this is obeying God consciously. God wants such belief in God. If one only enjoys God’s grace, he cannot be perfected or transformed but can only have outward obedience, outward godliness, and outward love and patience. If one only enjoys God’s grace, he cannot have a true knowledge of God. Even if he has some knowledge of God, it is superficial. He may say that God loves man or that God is merciful to man; these do not represent his life and do not mean that he has a true knowledge. When God’s word refines him, or when God’s trial comes upon him, he cannot obey and has doubts and even falls; such a person does not have any element of obedience to God within him. Within him there are only a lot of rules and regulations concerning believing in God, and the old experience summed up over many years of believing in God, or various regulations based on the Bible. Can such a person obey God? He has been fully occupied by his things, so how can he possibly obey God? He “obeys” according to his own preferences; will God want such obedience? This is observing regulations, not obeying God, and this is satisfying himself and consoling himself. If you say this is obeying God, aren’t you blaspheming God? You are Pharaoh of Egypt, an evildoer, and a man who specializes in the work of “resisting God.” Will God want such service of yours? I advise that you had better repent earlier and have some self-knowledge or you had better resign and return to your native place. This will be more profitable to yourself than your “serving God” is. Won’t it be better if you do not disrupt or disturb but keep your place and live a proper life? Otherwise, you will resist God and be punished!

Those who are compatible with me will serve me in my house forever, and those who are against me will be under my punishment forever. Those who only care about the letters of the Bible but do not care about the truth or seeking my footsteps are all the ones who are against me, because they restrict me to the Bible and circumscribe me within the Bible. Their doing so is a great blasphemy against me. How could such people come before me? What they pay attention to is not my deeds, not my will, and not the truth, but the letter, the letter that kills. How could such people be compatible with me?

Whoever believes in God but does not seek to obey God is one who resists God. God requires man to seek the truth, thirst for God’s word, eat and drink God’s word, and practice God’s word all for the purpose that he will obey God. If your intent is really this, God will surely uplift you, and God will surely grace you. This cannot be doubted by anyone and cannot be changed by anyone.

From The Word Appears in the Flesh

 

　　耶稣复活升天至今已有两千多年，无数虔诚的基督徒持守着主的话，一直苦苦巴望着救主耶稣的再来。可是，主耶稣究竟何时到来呢？他又将如何显现呢？究竟怎样才能找到主的脚踪呢？对这些问题，千千万万跟随主耶稣的人都无从知晓……但谁也想不到的是，救主耶稣基督其实早已悄然重返人间带来了神在末世审判刑罚、洁净人的新工作。神既来必要发表真理的话语，下面就让我们一起享受一篇耶稣再来的发声——《神的显现带来了新的时代》。

神的显现带来了新的时代

 　　神六千年的经营计划已到尾声，国度大门已向每一位寻求神显现的人打开，亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，你们现在正在等待着什么？正在寻求着什么？是不是都在等待着神的显现？是不是都在寻找神的脚踪？神的显现多么令人渴慕！神的脚踪又是多么的难寻！这样的时代，这样的世界，我们怎么做才能看到神显现的日子，怎么做才能跟上神的脚踪呢？这样的问题是每一位等待神显现之人所共同面临的，你们都不止一次地想过这样的问题，但结果怎么样呢？神在哪里显现呢？神的脚踪在哪里呢？你们得到答案了吗？有许多人会这样回答：神在所有跟随他的人中间显现，神的脚踪就在我们中间，就这么简单！公式性的回答谁都可以做到，但你们明白什么是神的显现、什么是神的脚踪吗？神的显现是指神亲自来到地上作工作，以他自己的身份、以他自己的性情、以他固有的方式降临在人中间作开辟时代、结束时代的工作。这种显现不是一种仪式，不是一种迹象，不是一幅图画，不是一种神迹，不是一种大的异象，更不是一种宗教式的过程，而是一种实实在在的、人都能触摸得到的、人都能目睹的实际的事实。这种显现不是为了走走过程，不是为了一种短时间的工作，而是为了他经营计划中的一步工作。神的显现都是有意义的，都是与他的经营计划有关系的，这里说的“显现”绝对不同于神引导人、带领人、开启人时的那种“显现”。神每次的显现都要作一步大的工作，这个工作不同于任何一个时代所作的工作，是人所想象不到的，也是人都未经历过的，是开展新时代的，也是结束旧时代的，是拯救人类的一步更新更拔高的工作，更是带领人类进入新时代的工作，这就是神显现的意义所在。

　　在你们都明白了什么是神的显现的同时，应当怎样寻找神的脚踪呢？这个问题并不难解释，那就是：哪里有神的显现哪里就有神的脚踪。这样的解释听起来很简单，但是做起来就不是那么容易了，因为很多人并不知道神到底在哪里显现，更不知道神愿意或是神应该在哪里显现。有的人会很冲动地认为哪里有圣灵作工哪里就有神的显现，或者认为哪里有属灵人物哪里就有神的显现，或者认为哪里的人知名度高哪里就有神的显现。我们姑且不探讨这样的认为到底是对还是错，要解释这样的问题我们得先明确一个目标，我们是在寻找神的脚踪而不是寻找属灵人物，更不是追随知名人士，我们是在追随神的脚踪。所以，我们既要寻找神的脚踪，那就得寻找神的心意，寻找神的说话，寻找神的发声，因为哪里有神的新说话哪里就有神的声音，哪里有神的脚踪哪里就有神的作为，哪里有神的发表哪里就有神的显现，哪里有神的显现哪里就有真理、道路、生命的存在。你们寻找神的脚踪都忽略了“神是真理、道路、生命”这句话，所以很多人得着了真理也不认为是找到了神的脚踪，更不承认是神的显现，这是多么严重的失误！神的显现不可能合乎人的观念，更不可能是按着人的要求而显现。神作工作有自己的选择，有自己的计划，更有自己的目标，有自己的方式。他作什么工作都没有必要与人商量，征求人的意见，更不用通知每一个人，这是神的性情，更是每一个人都当认识到的。你们要想看见神的显现，要想跟随神的脚踪，就首先从自己的观念中走出来，不要苛求神应该这样作，应该那样作，更不要把神限制在你的范围里，限制在你的观念里，而是应当要求你们自己该怎样寻求神的脚踪，怎样接受神的显现，怎样顺服神的新工作，这才是人当做的。因为人都不是真理，人都不具备真理，人该做的就是寻求、接受、顺服。

　　无论你是美国人还是英国人，或是任意一个国籍的人，你都当从自己的国籍范围里走出来，超越自我，以一个受造之物的身份来看待神的作工，这样你就不会把神的脚踪限定在一个范围里。因为现在有许多人在观念当中认为神不可能在哪个国家显现或是不可能在哪个民族中间显现。神作工的意义何其深奥，神的显现又是何等的重要，岂是人的观念思维可以衡量出来的？所以我说你应该打破你的国籍、民族观念来寻求神的显现吧！这样你才不会被观念束缚，这样你才能有资格迎接神的显现，否则你永远是在黑暗中的人，永远是得不到神称许的人。

　　神是全人类的神，他并没有把自己当作哪个国家或哪个民族的私有财产，而是不拘任何形式、任何国家与民族地作他计划中的工作。或许这个形式你从来都没有想象过，或许这个形式你持否定态度，或许神显现的国家与民族正是人都歧视的，正是地球上最落后的，但神有他的智慧，他用他的大能，以他的真理与他的性情真正得着了一班与他同心合意的人，得着了他所要作成的受尽苦难试炼、受尽逼迫能跟随到底的一班被征服的人。神显现不拘任何形式与国家的目的就在于能作成他计划中的工作，就如神在犹太道成肉身，目的就是为了完成钉十字架救赎全人类的工作，但犹太人都认为神不可能这样作，神不可能道成肉身成为主耶稣这样的形像。他们的“不可能”成了他们定罪神、抵挡神的依据，最终导致以色列亡国。如今的许多人又犯了这样的错误，他们大肆宣传神即将显现，但同时又定罪神的显现，他们的“不可能”又一次将神的显现定规在他们的想象中。所以我看见许多人拿到神的话语之后猖狂大笑，这个“笑”不正是犹太人一样的定罪与亵渎吗？你们在真理面前并不敬虔，更没有渴慕的态度，只是一味地研究与漫不经心地等待，这样的研究与等待又能得着什么呢？难道能得着神的亲自引导吗？神的发声说话你都辨别不出来，你还有什么资格看见神的显现呢？神在哪里显现，哪里就有真理的发表，就有神的声音。只有能接受真理的人才是会听神声音的人，这样的人才有资格看见神的显现。放下你的观念吧！安静下来仔细读读这些话语，只要你有渴慕真理的心，神会开启你明白他的心意，明白他的话语。放下你们的“不可能”论调吧！越是人认为“不可能”越是可能发生的事，因为神的智慧高过诸天，神的意念高过人的意念，神作工是超出人的思维观念这个范围作的，越是不可能的事越有真理可寻求，越是人的观念想象不到的事情就越有神的心意在其中。因为神无论在哪里显现，神还是神，绝对不会因着神显现的地点或方式而改变神的实质的。神的脚踪无论在哪里都不会改变他的性情，神的脚踪无论在哪里他都是全人类的神，就如主耶稣，他不单是以色列人的神，也是整个亚洲、欧洲、美洲之人的神，更是全宇上下独一无二的神。我们还是从神的发声说话中来寻找神的心意，来发现神的显现，跟上神的脚踪吧！神是真理、道路、生命，他的说话与他的显现共存，他的性情与他的脚踪无时不在对人类公开。亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，但愿你们都能在这些话语中看见神的显现，起步跟上神的脚踪迈向新的时代，进入神为等待他显现之人所预备的美好的新天新地吧！

　　亲爱的朋友，你难道不感到惊讶吗？主耶稣已经来了！末后的基督已经显现在中国，他就是全能神。刚才为大家带来的正是全能神的亲口发声中的一篇。“哪里有神的新说话哪里就有神的声音，哪里有神的脚踪哪里就有神的作为，哪里有神的发表哪里就有神的显现。”神就是用他的话语征服、拯救了一班被撒但败坏至深的人，这一班人正是从神的话语中认出全能神就是再来的耶稣基督，跟上了神新时代的作工，得着了神的带领与牧养，就如主耶稣所说：“我的羊听我的声音，我也认识他们，他们也跟着我（约10:27）。”这一班人就是全能神教会的神选民。

全能神教会简介

全能神教会是因耶稣的再来——末后基督全能神的显现与作工而产生的，完全是全能神亲自设立的，也是全能神亲自牧养与带领的。因着神道成肉身的显现与作工，所有被全能神话语征服的人都归在了全能神的名下，中国的神选民经历了神末世审判刑罚的作工，领略到了神的公义性情，看见了全能神的威严与烈怒，完全仆倒在了神面前。全能神教会就是在全能神公义的审判刑罚之下产生的，是由完全被神的话语征服、蒙神拯救的人组成的。

全能神教会的使命就是向世界各国各方的人传扬神的话语，见证神的显现，见证神的作工，神的话语、神的作为将要传遍世界直至地极，展望国度前景——光明灿烂。如今，在圣灵的带领下，国度福音正迅速向海外各个国家和地区扩展，除韩国以外，在日本、香港、台湾、新加坡、澳大利亚、加拿大、美国等多个国家和地区都有全能神教会。为了让更多的人听到神的亲口发声得到末世救恩，全能神教会的神选民一直在圣灵的作工带领下竭力传扬神话扩展国度福音，不但在加拿大、韩国、美国、香港、台湾、日本等国的各大网络、电视台、报刊杂志登载了神话，并定期为考察寻求真道之人举办见证神作工专题讲道会，还专门在各大城市设立赠送神话福音站传报神已到来的喜讯。

全能神在末世作工中发表的话语主要收录在《话在肉身显现》一书里，这是创世以来神第一次面向全人类说话，是神第一次这样详细地、系统地向受造的人类说话，当然也是第一次用最多篇幅、持续最长时间地面向全人类说话，这是破天荒的事，而且这是神在人类中间发表的第一部揭示人、引导人、审判人、与人谈心的著作，也是第一部让人知晓神的脚踪、神的躺卧之处、神的性情、神的所有所是、神的意念与神对人类的眷顾的说话。可以说，这是创世以来第一部神站在三层天向人类的说话、发声，也是神第一次以他原有的身份在话语中向人类显现，发表心声。神说话的方式是受造的人类所不能及的，说话的用词与语言的风格更是优美、动听，是任何一种人类的文学所不能替代的。他揭示人的语言是准确的，是任何的哲理不能驳倒的，是令所有的人折服的；他审判人的语言犹如利剑一般直刺人的灵魂深处，甚至让人无处藏身；他安慰人的语言带着怜悯、慈爱，犹如慈母的怀抱一样温暖，让人感到从未有过的安然。神的话全是真理，全是神灵的发声，来源于基督的神性，满载神的权柄和能力，不但揭开了神拯救人类的经营计划的一切奥秘，还揭示了败坏人类的撒但本性实质，使人认识自己的败坏本性实质，认识人的使命与人的归宿，同时认识神的全能智慧、圣洁公义，最终达到真实顺服神、敬拜神，活出有真理、有人性的真正人的样式达到蒙拯救被成全。神的羊听神的声音，神的声音就是神所发表的话语，神末世的显现就是神道成肉身来作工的显现，就是话在肉身的显现，只要阅读神的话就看见神已来到。

     全能神的话语带着生命力，指给我们当行的道，带给我们光明，也让我们领悟到了什么才是真理。全能神开辟了新时代、新纪元，带来了新天新地、新作工，给我们带来了希望，征服了我们全人，得着了我们的心。全能神就是真理、道路、生命！我们回到了神的家中，我们回到了神的宝座前，我们与神面对面，看见了神的容颜，看见了前方的道路。神的爱犹如泉水一样绵延流淌，赐给你，赐给我，也赐给他，赐给所有真心寻求真理、等候神显现的人。神的作工犹如日月更替从未止息，作在你身上，作在我身上，也作在他身上，作在所有跟上神脚踪的人身上。
