Nothing here yet. Add one now!
Of all the people in the world,
who but lives within God’s grace?
1
If God had not given human beings
material blessings,
then who would enjoy the sufficiency,
the riches in the world?
Could it be that only allowing you
the chance to take your place,
take up your place as the people of God,
is itself God’s blessing?
What if you were not one of God’s people
but a service-doer?
Does that mean that you would not be living
within His blessing?
Not one among you can yet understand
the root of God’s words.
2
Man is far from treasuring the names
that God has conferred.
Many feel resentment in their heart
for being called “service-doers.”
And many start to love God
when being called “God’s people.”
So don’t ever try to fool God,
His eyes see and penetrate all!
Who among you receives willingly,
and who gives obedience?
Understand that if the kingdom’s salute
does not get to ring out,
would you truly be able to obey,
to obey to the end?
All of this God has predetermined:
what man can do or think, how far he can go.
What if you were not one of God’s people
but a service-doer?
Does that mean that you would not be living
within His blessing?
Not one among you can yet understand
the root of God’s words, oh, the root of God’s words.
