As long as we believe in God according to the Bible,

we can receive life.

Yeah. Just according to the Bible.

Right. How can we know the Lord if not by the Bible?

We can no longer hold on to the Bible.

We should seek God’s present will

and search for the Holy Spirit’s working.

Only this is after God’s heart.

Brothers and sisters,

don’t be deceived by these newfangled sayings.

The truths in the Bible are already perfect.

The Bible’s enough for us to believe in God.

We don’t need the new word at all.

Amen!

Brothers and sisters,

what the Bible records is limited.

The Old Testament only records the work of Jehovah,

and the New Testament only records the work of the Lord Jesus.

The Bible only prophesies God’s end-time work.

However, it doesn’t record the details,

because in the end time God does the work of judgment,

which is a new work outside the Bible.

God is the expresser of truth,

the Ruler of the universe and all things.

His richness is unfailing and inexhaustible,

and no created being can fathom Him.

So, the contents of the Bible alone

can’t make clear all God’s deeds.

Let’s read a passage of Almighty God’s word.

OK!

Please turn to page 984.

Stop. Don’t read!

What you said is wrong!

Brothers and sisters,

the Old and New Testaments are already perfect.

They say the records in the Bible are limited.

They’re despising the Bible.

Despising the Bible means despising God.

Amen!

Right. Over two thousand years,

whoever believes in God reads the Bible.

But you said what the Bible records is limited.

Humph! That’s nonsense.

Yeah! Don’t try to deceive us.

Brothers and sisters,

our fellowship isn’t despising the Bible.

We just want everyone to know the fact.

Brothers and sisters,

we can’t equate the Bible as God.

Does the Bible save man or does God save man?

Yeah! It’s true.

Can the Bible express the truth

or can Christ express the truth?

What he said sounds reasonable?

Let them continue.

John 14:6 says,

“Jesus said to him,

Amen!

Thank the Lord. Today I understand.

Only Christ can save man, the Bible can’t.

Yes! Yeah!

Isn’t it from the Bible that you see Christ saves man?

Without the record of the Bible, could you know it?

The Lord Jesus has redeemed us.

As long as we believe in God according to the Bible,

we can receive life. (Amen!)

Sister Feng is right.

Brothers and sisters,

we all read the Bible in the past,

but we weren’t clear about the inside story of the Bible.

Today, Almighty God’s word has disclosed it.

Let’s read a passage of Almighty God’s word.

Okay.

Page 960.

These words really have authority! (Yeah.)

Now, I feel much more clear.

Right. Yes.

Brothers and sisters,

from Almighty God’s words,

we see that the Bible is only a historical record of God’s former works.

It can’t save man.

The Bible can never be compared with God.

God is the spring of living water of life.

His word and utterance flow unceasingly.

However, what the Bible records is very limited.

This is a fact that no one can deny.

Brothers and sisters,

God is an ever-new and never-old God.

In each age, He does a new work and expresses new words.

Like in the Age of the Grace,

the Lord Jesus did a new work

and expressed new words.

But the Jewish priests and Pharisees

held on to the Old Testament.

They not only rejected and condemned the Lord Jesus,

but even nailed Him on the cross,

committing a monstrous sin.

Today, the end-time Christ, Almighty God,

expresses all the truths,

which are not recorded in the Bible at all.

Since there is no record,

the Bible can’t substitute for God’s end-time work and all His words.

Brothers and sisters, we can no longer hold on to the Bible.

We should seek God’s present will

and search for the Holy Spirit’s working.

Only this is after God’s heart.

Thank God! That is right! Good point!

Let me read this passage of God’s word to you. (Okay.)

Turn to page 950.

Almighty God’s words tell us,

if in the Age of the Grace

you still held on to the Old Testament,

Jesus wouldn’t approve of you,

and you couldn’t receive God’s grace or His redemption,

much less receive the peace and joy after God forgave man’s sin.

Today, Almighty God has come.

If you still hold on to the Old and New Testaments,

you will not receive God’s approval,

much less the end-time salvation God brings to man.

Co-workers,

we must hold fast to the Bible and the Lord’s way.

We can find proof of every step of God’s work in the Bible.

They’re not done without any basis.

So, we must believe in the Lord according to the Bible.

Don’t be deceived by what they say.

Otherwise, we’ll lose the Lord’s salvation. (Amen!)

Yeah. Without the Bible as foundation, it is a fallacy.

Elder Zheng, I advise you to wake up earlier.

Sister Feng, this is really the true way.

You’re no longer a member of our church.

You don’t deserve to speak with us.

Humph! Let’s go!

Sister Feng, wait. Don’t go. Please don’t leave. We want to talk you more.

Sister Tan, calm down.

We co-workers all hope you can listen.

If this is the true way,

won’t we miss this chance?

Right. Yes.

Right! Sister Feng,

will you just leave like this?

You’re our theological teacher

and have the best judgment.

You can debate with them.

Isn’t it a good thing?

It may not be wise to leave now.

If we do, they’ll … Sister Feng, on this occasion, how can you leave?

Yeah!

Right, I can’t go.

I’ve studied the Bible over twenty years.

I don’t believe they can beat me.

I must shame them with the Bible.

I must turn the tide.

Let’s go inside.

Humph!

I’ll see what else they can say.

Let’s go back.

Yeah, let’s go.

Thank the Lord! It’s good you’re back. Have a seat.

I tell you, it’s fine to study the Bible.

But, if you continue to deny the Bible,

we’ll have nothing to talk about.

You can fellowship only according to the Bible.

I won’t accept anything against the Bible.

Amen!

Sister Feng,

we understand you worry the brothers and sisters will be deceived.

If there is something you can’t understand,

we can fellowship about it.

Sister Feng,

the Bible says “the new and the old can hardly match.”

When God does a stage of new work,

no one can understand it.

Especially when it comes to some viewpoints of the Bible,

we can’t reach agreement. This is normal.

Brothers and sisters, we think that

when God does a stage of new work,

there must be biblical basis.

Let’s think back to the time when God did the work of the Age of the Law.

Were there any biblical basis?

I don’t think so.

Yeah.

At that time the Bible didn’t even exist.

Yes!

Yeah, at that time there was no Bible.

Actually, when God created the world, deluged the world, and burned Sodom

and when the Lord Jesus worked,

He didn’t do them according to the Bible.

From these facts, we can see

that God’s work is never restricted by the Bible.

Yeah! Right!

Whether it’s Jehovah’s work,

the Lord Jesus’ work,

or Almighty God’s work today,

the work in each age

isn’t established on the basis of the Bible.

Brothers and sisters,

each stage of God’s work

is not done according to the Bible,

but according to the need of corrupt mankind.

He works according to His management plan.

Stop it. Humph! I don’t agree with you.

The Lord Jesus personally said that the Bible testified of Him.

So, we must believe in the Lord according to the Bible.

The Bible is the only path for us to know the Lord. (Amen!)

Yeah. Just according to the Bible.

Right. How can we know the Lord if not by the Bible?

Brothers and sisters,

then let’s see whether we can really know the Lord according to the Bible.

This question is answered in Almighty God’s word.

Please turn to page 1274.

Okay.

Brother Guo, please read it.

OK.

Brothers and sisters,

the people in the Age of the Law held on to the Bible.

They didn’t seek or investigate God’s new work.

In the end, they nailed the Lord Jesus on the cross.

From this fact,

we can see that we can’t know God or God’s work from the Bible alone.

Yes, indeed!

We often read the Bible before, but have never understood it.

Thank the Lord! Yes!

Brothers and sisters, we all know

the followers of the Lord Jesus could recognize Him

all because of His present work and word

and the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

None of them recognized Him according to the Bible.

This is the fact.

Brothers and sisters,

today, when facing Almighty God’s work,

we also couldn’t judge only according to the Bible.

The Bible is only for reference.

We should confirm it

mainly according to whether it has the truth and the working of the Holy Spirit.

Only in this way, can we make a correct choice.

Brothers and sisters,

Almighty God has already made this clear.

Let’s read a passage of Almighty God’s word.

OK!

Page 945.

Yeah.

Let’s read one more passage. Turn to page 9.

Amen!

Brothers and sisters,

Almighty God’s words have told us clearly

that man shouldn’t restrict Himself to the Bible

but should keep up with the pace of the Holy Spirit’s work

and seek God’s footsteps in God’s new work and new word.

To make sure whether it is God’s work or the true way,

we should see whether this way has the working of the Holy Spirit

or the expression of the truth,

and whether it can be man’s life supply.

If what it expresses is the truth and life,

undoubtedly it is God’s work and confirmed by the Holy Spirit.

Right! Yes!

If we want to know God’s end-time work,
