Clip (3) - Can We Be Raptured Into the Kingdom of Heaven After Accepting Redemption From Lord Jesus?

Based on Lord Jesus' words on the cross "It is finished," pastors and elders of religious circles habitually conclude that God's work of salvation of mankind was thus finished. Upon the return of the Lord, believers would be received into the kingdom of heaven, with no need for any work of purifying and saving people. Does the viewpoint of the pastors and elders accord with the words of God? To what was Lord Jesus ultimately referring, when He said "It is finished" on the cross? Why would God want to express truth during the last days, doing the work of judging and purifying people?

45. What Is Truly Accepting Truth?

By Xiaohe, Henan Province

In the past, every time I read the words revealed by God about how people do not accept truth, I didn’t believe those words applied to me. I enjoyed reading the word of God and communicating God’s word, and I was able to accept and acknowledge everything God has said as truth—regardless of how much it pricked my heart or didn’t conform with my notions. Moreover, regardless of how many imperfections my brothers and sisters would point out, I could acknowledge it and accept it. I didn’t seek to justify myself, so I thought that I was a person who surely accepted truth. In my opinion, only people who were especially arrogant and conceited, and who had notions about the word of God and wouldn’t acknowledge that God’s word is truth were the ones who wouldn’t accept truth. It wasn’t until one day when I was listening to a sermon that I understood what it meant to truly accept truth.
