God’s Love for Man
I
When God came to the earth,
He was not of the world,
and He did not become flesh
to enjoy the world.
He would be born wherever His work
would reveal His disposition
and be most meaningful,
regardless of whether it was a holy
or a filthy land.
No matter where He works, He is holy.
All things in the world were created by Him,
though they’ve been corrupted by Satan.
However, all things still belong to Him;
they’re all in His hands.
II
He comes to a filthy land and works there
in order to reveal His holiness;
He only does this for the sake of His work,
which means He only endures
great humiliation to do such work
in order to save the people of this filthy land.
This is done for the sake of testimony,
for the sake of all of mankind.
What such work shows people
is God’s righteousness,
and it’s better able to demonstrate
that God is supreme.
His greatness and uprightness
are precisely manifested in the salvation
of a group of lowly people whom others scorn.
III
Being born in a filthy land
does not prove that He is lowly;
it simply allows all of the created beings
to see His greatness
and His true love for mankind.
The more He does so,
the more it reveals His pure love,
His flawless love for man.
God is holy and righteous,
even though He was born in a filthy land,
and even though He lives
with those people who are full of filthiness,
just as Jesus lived with sinners
in the Age of Grace.
Is every bit of His work
not done for the sake of all mankind’s survival?
Is it all not so that mankind
can gain great salvation?
Is it all not so that mankind
can gain great salvation?
