Answer: If we only accept the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace, but reject Almighty God’s work of judgment and chastisement in the last days, then we can never free from sin and become someone who does heavenly Father’s will and enters God’s kingdom. This is beyond doubt! Because Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace was redemption, He only gave man the way of repentance according to the stature of people at that time, and let them understand some apparent truths and ways to practice. For example, confessing and repenting, bearing the cross, being patient and humble, sharing love, fasting, and baptizing. These are limited truths that people during that time could receive and achieve. As to other deeper truths for man’s disposition to be transformed, and for man to be purified, saved and perfected and so on, the Lord Jesus did not express them. It’s because people of that time had too small stature to bear them. Only when the Lord Jesus returns to work in the last days, will He bestow all the truth for the corrupt mankind to be saved and perfected according to God’s management plan to save man and the needs of the corrupt mankind. As the Lord Jesus said, “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come” (John 16:12-13). The words of Lord Jesus are very clear that in the Age of Grace, He didn’t give corrupt mankind all of the truths they needed for their salvation. There are many higher and deeper truths, the truths that free man from his corrupt disposition and make him holy, and truths such as obeying God and knowing God. He didn’t tell them these things in the Age of Grace. So, Almighty God has expressed these truths about saving man in the last days to judge, chastise, purify, and perfect all those who accept His salvation of the last days. Finally, He’ll make them complete and bring them into God’s kingdom. Only then will God’s management plan to save man be thoroughly accomplished. If one only accepts the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus but rejects Almighty God’s work of judgment in the last days, he can never gain the truth and have his disposition transformed, nor become one who does God’s will, much less be qualified to enter God’s kingdom.
In the last days, mankind has been fully corrupted by Satan, filled with satanic poisons within. Mankind’s views, rules of living, outlook on life, and values are all against the truth and in opposition to God. They worship evil and have become God’s enemies. For a mankind so consumed with Satan’s corrupt disposition, if they are not severely judged, chastised, burned and purified by Almighty God’s word, how can they rebel against Satan and break free of its influence? How can they fear God and shun evil and become one who does God’s will? As we know, many long-time believers in the Lord passionately testify that Jesus is the Savior and labor hard for years. But because they don’t know God’s righteous disposition and have no fear of God, when Almighty God carries out His work of the last days, they judge and condemn God’s work, deny and reject God’s return, and even re-crucify the returned Christ in the last days. Such facts are compelling evidence that if man rejects God’s judgment and chastisement of the last days, the root of his sinning and his satanic nature can never be resolved, and all mankind will perish because they resist God. This is an undeniable fact! While believing in God, only if one accepts God’s judgment and chastisement in the last days can he gain the truth as his life, and become one who does the heavenly Father’s will, can he know God, be compatible with Him, and be qualified to enjoy God’s promises and be brought into His kingdom.
