Gospel Movie clip “God’s Name Has Changed?!” (4) – Is Being Saved Equal to Being Purified?



I benefit a lot from this film. It does solve an imagined notion of believers in God—man’s been saved and is thus eligible to enter the kingdom of heaven since the blood of the Lord Jesus has cleansed their sins. However, they’re unaware that man can still sin and resist God when they don’t understand the truth, and will finally be punished by God.
The Bible says, “⋯ holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Then how can we break away from sins? Now, I’ve got the way from Almighty God’s words, “In each age, God does new work and is called by a new name; how could He do the same work in different ages? How could He cling to the old? The name of Jesus was taken for the work of redemption, so would He still be called by the same name when He returns in the last days? Would He still do the work of redemption? Why is it that Jehovah and Jesus are one, yet They are called by different names in different ages? Is it not because the ages of Their work are different? Could a single name represent God in His entirety? In this way, God must be called by a different name in a different age, must use the name to change the age and represent the age, for no one name can fully represent God Himself. And each name can only represent God’s disposition during a certain age and needs only to represent His work. Therefore, God can choose whatever name befits His disposition to represent the entire age.

from “The Vision of God’s Work (3)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The film has given a clear fellowship about this issue. From this, we see that the notion above is indeed a fallacy of self-deception. Now I’ve experienced the light brought by Almighty God’s work in the last days. God’s word of judgment and chastisement and lots of trials and refinements have made me know my corruption and filth, as well as the necessity and significance of His work of judgment and chastisement. After experiencing God’s chastisement and judgment, I feel some of my former corrupt disposition has been cleansed by God’s word. Today, I live out a bit of the likeness of a real man. Thanks be to Almighty God!
