We have accepted the Lord, and obtained salvation.

Why do we still have to accept Almighty God's work of judgment and purification?

… because the sinful nature inside us still remains.

People are still compelled by their satanic nature to resist and betray God.

The Lord Jesus was crucified as a sin offering to redeem man.

We believe the Lord has already forgiven us, forgiven us all our sins.

Why does the Lord need to do the work of judgment on His return?

About this question, can you please explain more?

Yes, sure. This is what so many people don't understand,

and a question we absolutely have to look into.

In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus did the work of redemption.

It was not God's work of judgment in the last days to save all of man.

was a sacrifice to atone for the sins of man through the Lord Jesus' work.

made us repent our sins and accept God's salvation.

He qualified us to go before God and enjoy God's grace and blessing.

That was the real significance of the work of redemption.

They always think that the Lord Jesus' work of redemption

granted complete salvation to all mankind into the kingdom of heaven.

That notion comes from man's imagination.

We were given redemption by the Lord Jesus. That much is true.

Does the fact that God forgave us our sins mean we've truly been holy?

Can those who often sin really be approved by the Lord?

Not many people have considered this problem,

and we've never seen anyone truly understand this problem.

The Lord Jesus redeemed us from a state of sin.

We were forgiven our sins, granted salvation, and this is a fact.

But then, as we believe in and follow the Lord,

we also often betray the Lord's teachings,

and give in to our fleshly desires to sin.

We do things like lie, commit fraud, deceive,

engage in intrigue, seek fame and fortune.

We give in to vanity, lust for wealth, and follow evil worldly trends.

In times of bitterness and trial, we often misunderstand and blame God,

When God's work doesn't align with man's notions,

At the same time we follow God, we worship man and follow man.

People live in a cycle of sinning and repenting. That's hard to escape.

We can't free ourselves from the binds and control of our satanic nature.

And although the Lord Jesus' work of redemption is done,

and people are no longer cursed for violating God's laws,

that does not mean God's work of saving mankind is over,

because the sinful nature inside us still remains.

People have no knowledge of God and can't fear God and shun evil,

even less can they reach complete obedience to God and the sanctity with God.

God won't allow the impure or corrupt into the kingdom of heaven.

God will, according to His management plan to save mankind,

carry out His work of judgment and chastisement,

remove the shackles and restraints of the corrupt mankind

and help mankind completely escape the influence of Satan,

be saved by God, and enter God's kingdom.

Let's look at two more passages from Almighty God.

In the last days, God will completely save man from Satan's influence,

make man to turn to God, be compatible with Christ,

becoming holy people who fear God and obey God.

is through God's work of judgment and chastisement in the last days.

Only through the judgment and revelations in God's words

can people finally come to know the truth of how they've been corrupted by Satan

and know the righteousness, majesty, and intolerance of offense

Only in this way can people produce true remorse and repentance,

wills that hate the flesh and betray Satan, and hearts that fear God,

truly escape the dark influence of Satan, turn to God, and be gained by God.

Only such people will finally be those who are saved and enter God's kingdom.

I've often suffered and been confused over the cycle of sin and repentance.

Hearing your fellowship today, I feel liberated.

Even though we've been redeemed, our sinful nature hasn't changed,

which is why we can't achieve true sanctity,

and are unqualified to enter God's kingdom.

We need the purification of God's judgment!

To cast off our sinful nature, be holy and enter God's kingdom,

we need to undergo God's judgment of the last days!

Thank the Lord. Your fellowship is wonderful.
