Putting the truth into practice is of great difficulty for you, and knowing God is an even greater problem. Man does not know what it means to know God, or why it is necessary to know God, or to what degree one must attain in order to know God. This is what is so confounding to mankind, and it is quite simply the biggest riddle faced by mankind. Perhaps, when the riddle of the three stages of work is made known to mankind, there will appear in succession a group of talented people who know God. I am in the process of carrying out this work, and hope to see the appearance of more such talented people in the near future. They'll become those who bear testimony to the fact of these three stages of work, and they will also be the first to bear testimony to these three stages of work.

I hope that those who truly pursue can gain this blessing. Since the beginning of time, there has never before been work such as this; such an undertaking has never occurred in the history of human development. If you can truly become one of the first of those who know God, would this not be the highest honor among all created beings? Would any created being among mankind be more approved of by God? All those who are capable of achieving the knowledge of God will receive God's greatest honor in the end, and will be the only ones that possess the authority of God. This is the work of today, and it is also the work of the future; it is the last and highest work to be accomplished in 6,000 years of work, and it is a way of working that reveals each category of man.
