1. For the sake of your destiny, you should try to be approved by God. Since you acknowledge that you are a member of God’s family, you should make God have trust in you in every aspect and satisfy God in everything, and do things by principles and according to the truth. You all should know that God likes honest people. God has the substance of faithfulness the substance of faithfulness, so what he says is always trustworthy, and even more what he does is impeccable and undoubtable. So, God likes those who are absolutely honest with him.

2. Everyone has ever done things of resisting God and cheating God when believing in God. However, some of the things can be forgiven, but others cannot be forgiven, because many of them are things that offend the administrative decrees, things that offend God’s nature. God advises you to exert some effort to know the administrative decrees and know God’s nature. Otherwise, you all can hardly shut your mouths and will talk loosely and speak high-soundingly. Without knowing it, you will offend God’s nature. And without knowing it, you will fall into darkness, lose the presence of the Holy Spirit, and lose the light. If you are an honest person and a person who does things by principles, then you can be an intimate friend of God. If you in doing things do not offend God’s nature but seek God’s will and have a heart that fears God, then your “belief” measures up to standard measures up to standard.
