Why is it said that corrupt mankind is more in need of the salvation of God become flesh?


6. Why is it said that corrupt mankind is more in need of the salvation of God become flesh?
(Selected Passage of God’s Word)

Corrupt Mankind Is More in Need of the Salvation of God Become Flesh

God became flesh because the object of His work is not the spirit of Satan, or any incorporeal thing, but man, who is of the flesh and has been corrupted by Satan. It is precisely because the flesh of man has been corrupted that God has made fleshly man the object of His work; moreover, because man is the object of corruption, He has made man the only object of His work throughout all the stages of His salvation work.

I'm Resolved to Follow God

Holding faith so long, now I see the light.Experienced ups and downs, persecutions and hardships.Happiness and sorrows, garment wet with tears.Countless nights, stayed awake and prayed.Rejected by the world; distanced by loved ones.Wandering every day, having no resting place.Freedom, just a sham, no human rights to share.Deep hatred of Satan!When to right the wrong?This world, dark and evil,I desire more the light of my life.Christ is the truth, the way, and the life.I've made up my mind to follow Him.This world, dark and evil,I desire more the light of my life.Christ's the truth, the way, and the life.I've made up my mind to follow Him.

God’s Words Comfort Me After My Daughter Is Involved in a Sudden Car Accident


It was gone 11 a.m. on the morning of October 8, 2011 and I was just preparing lunch at home, when suddenly the phone rang. As soon as I answered it, the person calling said anxiously, “Your Lanlan has been in a car accident and they’re trying to save her at the county hospital. You’d best get here as soon as you can!” Hearing this, I felt a loud buzzing in my head, and before I’d said anything, the other person hung up. After I’d put the phone down, I just stood there for a while, thinking: “My daughter went out on her bicycle this morning to run some errands. How could she have been in a car accident? It’s just a prank call, isn’t it? But their tone didn’t sound like they were trying to trick me….” I didn’t have time to think any more, so I stopped what I was doing and left the house. I hurriedly waved down a cab and rushed to the county hospital. I was so worried as I sat in the cab that I clenched my fists tightly together, and I just kept looking out the window. I felt totally confused and upset and I couldn’t stop thinking: “How badly hurt is my daughter? Where has she been hurt? Is her life in danger? She’s only 17. She must be really scared being in the hospital on her own….” The more I thought about it, the more panicky I got, and I couldn’t calm down. I wanted to be there instantly by my daughter’s side to see what exactly the situation was. In my helplessness, I thought of God, and then quickly I called on God in my heart: “O God! I hear that my daughter has been in a car accident. My heart is in turmoil and I’m really worried, and I don’t know how my daughter is right now or how bad her injuries are. O God! I ask that You protect my heart so that I may keep calm before You. However serious my daughter’s injuries are, give me the courage to face it all.” After praying, I thought of these words of God: “Because I am your Father, I am your strong tower, I am your shelter, I am your backup, and moreover I am your Almighty One, and I am your everything!” (“Chapter 109” of Utterances of Christ in the Beginning). Yes, God is almighty, and He holds sovereignty over everything and administers all things. God is our strong backup and He is our greatest support. I should entrust my daughter to God and rely on God as I experience this situation. As I thought this, my panicked heart gradually began to calm down.

Welcoming Your Smiling Face Appearing Before Me

1

You raised me from the dust and into Your embrace.You woke my heart from the long and dark night's slumber.Looking through my haze,I see Your smiling face.It draws my heart and my love.Never dreamed I'd see Your face.Such a blessing has caught me by surprise.Such a blessing when I saw Your appearance.For I am from the dust and without any worth.Yet the glorious Almighty God has come to me face to face.Quiet before You,I listen when You talk.Your words are gentle, yet Your words are strong.Judgment and chastisement awaken my heart.A love sincere and beautiful that I'll always hold dear.Your loveliness is beyond words.It's wondrous!Taken my heart, rousing my love too.I've memorized Your every lovely attribute.It's my biggest wish to give all my love to You.Give all my love to You, to You.

The Sighing of the Almighty (Selection)


Mankind, who left the supply of life from the Almighty, does not know why they exist, and yet fears death. There is no support, no help, but mankind is still reluctant to close their eyes, braving it all, drags out an ignoble existence in this world in bodies without the consciousness of souls. You live like such, with no hope; he exists like such, with no aim. There is only the Holy One in the legend who will come to save those who moan in suffering and long desperately for His arrival. This belief cannot be realized so far in the people who are unconscious. However, the people still yearn for it so. The Almighty has mercy on these people who suffer deeply. At the same time, He is fed up with these people who have no consciousness, because He has to wait too long for the answer from humans. He desires to seek, seek your heart and your spirit. He wants to bring you food and water and to awaken you, so you are no longer thirsty, no longer hungry. When you are weary and when you begin to feel the desolation of this world, do not be perplexed, do not cry. Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your arrival any time. He is watching by your side, waiting for you to turn back. He is waiting for the day your memory suddenly recovers: becoming conscious of the fact that you came from God, somehow and somewhere once lost, falling unconscious on the roadside, and then, unknowingly having a “father.” You further realize that the Almighty has been watching there, awaiting your return all along. He longs bitterly, waiting for a response without an answer. His watching is priceless and is for the heart and the spirit of humans. Perhaps this watching is indefinite, and perhaps this watching is at its end. But you should know exactly where your heart and spirit are now.
