If one can satisfy God while doing one's duty, is principled in their words and actions, and enter the reality of all aspects of the truth, then they're a person who is perfected by God. It can be said that God's work and words have been completely effective for them, that the words of God have become their life, they have obtained the truth, and that they are able to live in accordance with God's words. After this, the nature of their flesh—that is, the very foundation of their original existence—will shake apart and collapse. Only after people possess God's words as their life will they become new people.

II

If the words of God become the lives of people, if the vision of God's work, His exposure and requirements of humanity, and the standards for a true human life that God requires people to meet become their life, if people live according to these words and truths, then they are perfected by the words of God. Such people are reborn and have become new people through God's words. This is the path by which Peter pursued the truth. This is the path of being perfected. Peter was perfected by the words of God, he gained life from the words of God, the truth expressed by God became his life, and he became a person who obtained the truth.
