- Philippians 2:12-16 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
All things in this world are ‘worth’ more and ‘shine’ as much as they are made. If you take wood and make a ‘house’ with it, it is worth as much as a house. Indeed, its value is determined even more by how it was made. Things are ‘valuable’ and they ‘shine’ according to how they are made.
- If you take STEEL and make a ‘bicycle’ with it, it is worth as much as a bicycle.
- If you take STEEL and make a ‘car’ with it, it is worth as much as a car.
- If you take STEEL and make an ‘airplane’ with it, it is worth as much as an airplane.
YOUR LIFE too, it’s ‘worth’ and how it ‘shines’ is determined by how you make it. No matter who you are, you have a ‘body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.’ Therefore, it all depends on you making yourself.
When making yourself, you must first throw away the thought: ‘I cannot do it.’ You must think: ‘I must surely make myself! I can do it as much as I make myself.’ And when making yourself, you must first get rid of all of ‘your contradictions, your own perceptions, sins, unrighteousness, and the bad hearts and deeds.’ People too. Until they fix their ‘diseased and bad hearts and deeds,’ they will continue to repeat the ‘bad thoughts and deeds.’ Therefore, it is not possible for them to make themselves perfect either. That is why they give up on ‘making themselves.’ In this way, if you completely fix ‘your diseased heart, thoughts, and deeds,’ problems will not arise as a result of them. Therefore, you can make yourself quickly.
Whether it is a CAR or a MACHINE, if it breaks, you must purposefully fix it whether it takes a day, a week, or a month even. Then it will be fixed. With ‘your bad hearts, deeds, habits, and character’ too: whether it is for a week, a month, or a year, you must purposefully fix them. Then they will be fixed. If you give up saying that you have no courage to even attempt it because you have so many ‘contradictions’ and so many ‘things that need to be fixed,’ then you will end up a loser.
YOU, YOURSELF, are a ‘one and only being who is so precious and valuable.’ You have to make ‘your soul and spirit’ through ‘your body’ and save yourself and rapture yourself. If you make ‘your soul and spirit’ through your body, your ‘soul and spirit’ will go to HEAVEN and live there forever even if your ‘body’ dies. Therefore, even if you fail to do everything else, you must surely and definitely do the ‘work of making yourself!’
Whatever it is, it must be made. Then it will have ‘worth’ and will ‘shine.’ A ROUGH DIAMOND is nothing more than ‘a rock.’ However, without the ROUGH DIAMOND, you cannot make an ‘expensive and shiny gemstone.’ PEOPLE too, until they are made in the way God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son want, they are nothing more than ‘ordinary physical lives.’ However, without the PHYSICAL BODY called a life, the SOUL AND SPIRIT that are inside of it cannot be made to shine as an ‘eternal person of Heaven.’
Just as you take a ROUGH STONE and make it into a GEMSTONE by polishing and fabricating it, by listening to the Word of God and taking action on it with the BODY, you must make your SOUL AND SPIRIT.
A DAY is like the ‘rough stone of time.’ Therefore, first, you must carve away and eliminate all the ‘time you spend doing things worthlessly and time you spend doing unnecessary things.’ And like a person would fabricate a diamond, you must use time as ‘time that is like a gemstone.’
The Holy Son said: “YOU YOURSELF are like the ‘rough diamond stones.’ By listening to and taking action on My, the Holy Son’s Word, each of you should make ‘yourself.’ Make yourself shine every day and shine the light. First, as your BODY hears the Word of life and takes action on it, get rid of all of ‘your contradictions, character, your own perceptions, bad deeds, unrighteousness, sin, and wickedness,’ become ‘united in love with Me, the Holy Son’, and take action with ‘truth, love and the Holy Spirit.’ By doing so, become a HUMAN GEMSTONE that is worth immeasurably more than gold or diamonds. Only then will your BODY, as it receives salvation and lives the raptured life on earth, be given missions and be used valuably and radiantly. If you do, both your SOUL AND SPIRIT will be transformed into heavenly form, become an ‘eternal gemstone,’ and will shine forever.”
