Psalms 18:25-26
With the kind You show Yourself kind;
With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
Exodus 20:6
but showing loving kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
John 14:21
He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Hallelujah! I pray that you are filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
Even though air exists, no one can breathe it for you. You have to do 'your own responsibility of breathing.' Then you can exist. Even if there is food available, no one can eat it for you. You ultimately have to do 'your own responsibility of eating it.' Then you will exist.
Likewise, the reason HUMAN BEINGS fail to receive salvation and go to death is that they fail to do 'the work they must do' and 'their own responsibilities.' The reason people fail to receive salvation and go to death is not that GOD 'gives up' or doesn't do for them the 'things that should be done.'
I will tell you about this using a parable so it is easy to understand. God gives everyone the PATH TO GOD. That path is the PATH OF SALVATION and He does not remove that that.
That is 'God not giving up on human beings.' It means that if 'human beings' do not follow that path or quit along the way and follow a different path, however, at that time they cannot receive salvation but will go to other path.
Although there are many ‘people who believe,’ there are few ‘people who are saved.’ Why is that so? It is because people only believe but do not live the way God and the Holy Son want. If you have believed in God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, then now, you must take action according to the way that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son want.
As for 'those who take action,' since they live in a real life while actually taking action, they have vitality and so live their lives rejoicing and enjoying. Also they have a sense of reality and live their lives eating, wearing, and enjoying with conviction.
Even though you are actually existing and living in this world, even though you are living in the present reality, if you are only in your room sleeping and do not take action, you will wonder, 'does the world exist?' You have to keep taking action and encountering things with your body. However, since you are not doing that, you don't feel that it is real even though you are living in this world.
The same is true with FAITH. If you pray every day, listen to the Word every day, and converse with the Holy Son every day, then the things that will be fulfilled in the present reality will surely be fulfilled. Therefore, you can feel it is real and clear.
'If you do it, it will work! Things will go well as much as you do them! If you take action a lot, even impossible things will become possible. It will be noticeable, miracles will happen, and problems will also be solved. Whatever you have taken action on, you will receive all of them exactly. God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son do not give up, so as long as you do it, it will work out!
Since God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son do not give up, I hope that you will surely complete the 'salvation,' complete the 'purpose of faith,' and also complete the 'Purpose of Creation.'
