If I Were Not Saved by God

If I were not saved by God, I would still be drifting in the world,

struggling painfully in sin, living without any hope.

enjoying the pleasures of sin, not knowing where is the path of human life.

If I were not saved by God, I would still be trampled by the devils,

Through God’s judgment and chastisement, my corrupt disposition has changed.

It is Almighty God who saves me; God’s words have purified me.

All the truth that God expresses has given me a new life.

to hear the voice of God and be raised before God’s throne,

I have seen God face to face and tasted God’s true love.

Finally I have understood, it’s God’s loving hand that has led me

It is Almighty God who saves me; God’s words have purified me.

to attend Christ’s marriage feast and get God’s purification and perfection.

What was hoped for years is realized today; I have finally got God’s salvation.

God's Love | Eastern Lightning

I suffered many hardships in the world. My husband died a few years after we married, and since then, the family burden completely fell on me. I lived a hard life with my young child and was always cold-shouldered and bullied by others. Weak and helpless, I was in tears every day, feeling it so hard to live in the world…. Just when I was in depression and despair, a sister preached Almighty God’s end-time work to me. Almighty God says, “When you feel tired and when you slightly feel a sense of desolation of this world, do not feel perplexed and do not weep. Almighty God, the Watcher, is ready to embrace your coming at any time.” (from “The Sighs of the Almighty” in The Word Appears in the Flesh) When I read it, I felt very warm in my heart. God’s motherly calling gave me the feeling that I had finally found my home, found my reliance, and found the destination of my heart. From then on, I read God’s word every day. From it, I knew that God is the source of the life of all things, and God is sovereign over everyone’s destiny, and Almighty God is the only reliance and salvation of mankind. In order to understand more truths, I actively attended meetings. In the Church of Almighty God, I saw that all the brothers and sisters were simple and open. Being together with them, I felt very secure and released in my heart and enjoyed the happiness and joy I had never had in the world. Thus, I was full of confidence and hope in my future life. To repay God’s love, I began to perform duty in the church. Unexpectedly, the CCP government simply didn’t allow people to believe in the true God and walk the right way, and I was arrested and persecuted inhumanly by the CCP government because of believing in God.
