The Basic Conditions That Those Who Serve God Must Meet
What are the most basic things that someone who serves God must have? He must at least understand the truth. Specifically, he must know God’s work. Knowing God’s work is achieved through experiencing God’s work. Suppose someone can obtain the Holy Spirit’s work in experiencing the work of God.
Through the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment and illumination, he has reached a genuine knowledge of God’s work and a genuine experience of life, and in particular, he has gained a genuine knowledge of his own corrupt essence; he can understand the truth and resolve the problems of his own corruptions by eating and drinking God’s words. This kind of person is someone who has entry into life through experiencing God’s work. All those who have entry into life are those who have practical experiences. These are people who can guide God’s chosen people to enter into the real experience of life. They can guide God’s chosen people to eat and drink God’s word and help them resolve the problems of their own corruptions. They can help God’s chosen people know and understand God’s word in order for them to enter into the truth. They can help God’s chosen people know how to experience and know God’s work. This kind of people is qualified to serve God. Some people who have become workers or leaders are unable to talk about their own practical experiences; that is, they are unable to talk about any genuine experience of resolving their own corruptions through eating and drinking God’s words. Additionally, they do not have a genuine knowledge of their own corrupt essence. Consequently, when they express their corruptions, they do not disapprove of them and they do not think that they are wrong. In particular, they are unable to see or discern any of the corruptions expressed by their brothers and sisters. This kind of people is unable to serve God. Suppose a leader is unable to guide his brothers and sisters to enter into the truth of God’s words; he is unable to guide them to understand the truth and know their corrupt essence based on God’s words and unable to guide them to truly know God’s life and disposition through experiencing God’s work. This leader is unable to do the practical work or do the substantive work that God has entrusted him to do. Why do I say that this person is unable to do this work? He is unable to guide his brothers and sisters to eat and drink God’s words and to enter into the experience of life. This is someone who obstructs the carrying out of God’s will. Everything he does disrupts God’s work. It can be said that it causes an interruption and disturbance to God’s work of saving man. That is why I say that this kind of person is unable to do the work of serving God. Serving God requires one to rely on one’s own genuine experiences and genuine entry and the truths one understands to resolve one’s own corruptions as well as other people’s corruptions. This is the type of practical work that is involved with serving God. Therefore, those who serve God must understand the truth, have a genuine experience of life and live out the reality of God’s word. Only this kind of people is qualified to serve God.
