Answer: I. We human beings are all created by God. As a creation, we should believe in God and worship the Creator.
The Bible records, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen 2:7). God’s word says, “God created this world and brought man, a living being unto which He bestowed life, into it. In turn, man came to have parents and kin and was no longer alone. Ever since man first laid eyes on this material world, he was destined to exist within the ordination of God. It is the breath of life from God that supports each living being throughout his growth into adulthood. During this process, none believe that man lives and grows up under the care of God. Rather, they hold that man grows up under the love and care of his parents, and that his growth is governed by the instinct of life. This is because man knows not who bestowed life or from whence it came, much less how the instinct of life creates miracles…. Not one man whom God looks upon day and night takes the initiative to worship Him. God continues to work as He has planned on man for whom He holds no expectations. He does so in the hope that one day, man will awaken from his dream and suddenly comprehend the value and purpose of life, understand the cost at which God has given man everything, and know how fervently God longs for man to turn back to Him.” God is the Creator who created human and all things. Our life originates from God, and all the things we enjoy like the sunshine, air, water, and various vegetables, fruits, grains, meats and so on, are prepared by God. God manages all things and constantly and unceasingly provides us with everything we need by His authority and almightiness. We are all able to survive under the provision and protection of God. Everything God has done for us all contains His concern and true love for this mankind. Thus, it is Heaven’s law and earth’s principle for all mankind to believe in God and worship God.
II. After being corrupted by Satan deeply, we human all live in sin and need God’s salvation.
God says, “Man lost his God-fearing heart after being corrupted by Satan and lost the function that one of God’s creatures should have, becoming an enemy disobedient to God. Man lived under Satan’s domain and followed Satan’s orders; thus, God had no way to work among His creatures, and was all the more unable to win fear from His creatures. Man was created by God, and ought to worship God, but man actually turned his back to God and worshiped Satan. Satan became the idol in man’s heart. Thus God lost His standing in man’s heart, which is to say that He lost the meaning of His creation of man, and so to restore the meaning of His creation of man He must restore man’s original likeness and rid man of his corrupt disposition. To reclaim man from Satan, He must save man from sin. Only in this way can He gradually restore man’s original likeness and restore man’s original function, and in the end restore His kingdom.” Since we are corrupted by Satan and live in sin, no one knows God’s existence and takes the initiative to worship God. Therefore, we all live painfully under the influence and afflictions of Satan, and only God can save us from such pain and suffering. In the Age of Law, God decreed laws to lead man to live and made man know what the sin is, what the righteousness is and how to live on earth so that man could get God’s blessings. In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus was nailed onto the cross to do the redemption work personally and forgave our sins, which allows us to enjoy the peace and joy and God’s abundant grace. However, as we are corrupted so deeply by Satan, our sinful nature is still not removed at all after the Lord’s Jesus’ redemption. We still have many Satan’s corruption within, like arrogance, selfishness, greed, deception and crookedness etc. and often live in the cycle of sinning and confessing but can’t get rid of it. When encountering the disasters or suffering persecutions and tribulations, we will complain about God and even betray God. Thus, in the last days, God still needs to express the truth to judge and purify our corruptions so as to save us from sins completely. Then we can be freed from the evil, get God’s salvation and finally be taken into the kingdom of God.
