201 God in the Flesh Is a Living Fountain of Life
I
The work that is of greatest value to corrupt man
is that which provides accurate words,
clear goals to pursue, clear goals to pursue,
and which can be seen and touched, can be seen and touched.
Only realistic work and timely guidance are suited to man’s tastes,
and only practical work can save man
from his corrupt and depraved disposition.
This can only be achieved by the incarnate God,
this can only be achieved by the incarnate God;
only the incarnate God
can save man from his formerly corrupt and depraved disposition.
II
Though most people have become the enemies of God
because of this flesh, because of this flesh,
when He concludes His work,
those who are against Him will not only cease to be His enemies,
but on the contrary will become His witnesses.
They will become the witnesses
that have been conquered by Him,
witnesses that are compatible with Him and inseparable from Him.
He shall cause man to know the importance of His work in the flesh to man,
His work in the flesh to man,
and man shall know the importance of this flesh
to the meaning of man’s existence, man’s existence,
shall know His practical value as concerns the growth of man’s life,
the growth of man’s life,
and moreover, man shall know that
this flesh will become a living fountain of life
from which man cannot bear to part.
