I

Right from the start of Satan's corruption of humankind, Satan's heresies and fallacies have gradually been planted deep in the hearts and minds of every human being. When Satan's evil and ridiculous thoughts and views are fully instilled in people, they are completely imprisoned by Satan and become an embodiment of Satan. People are completely living out Satan's disposition. Not only are they living in accordance with Satan's philosophies and thoughts, but the various notions and views that Satan has instilled in them have been incorporated into their nature.

If God is to save humankind, He must express the truth to judge and cleanse people's corrupt dispositions; make people understand the truth, and come to know God and submit to Him; teach people how they should conduct themselves and how they can walk the correct path; and tell people how they should practice the truth, how they can perform their duty well and how they can enter into the truth realities. He also must expose Satan's thoughts and views. He must expose and dissect the various heresies and fallacies with which Satan corrupts people, so that people can discern them. Then, people can clear these satanic things from their hearts, become cleansed and reach salvation.

People will understand what the truth is, and they'll also be able to discern Satan's disposition, Satan's nature and its heresies and fallacies. While acknowledging that God is the Creator and have the faith to follow God, they'll be able to see Satan's ugliness deep within their heart, and truly reject Satan. Then their hearts can completely return to God. Satan's place in people's hearts will become smaller and smaller, until it's completely eradicated. It will be replaced with the word of God, the truth principles God provides, and so on. This life of positivity and truth will gradually take root inside people, and as a result, God will have dominion over people's hearts.
