The Person Who Has the Best Life of Faith

John 4:25-26

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

Acts 13:46-49

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. The word of the Lord spread through the whole region.

 2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

A Person Who Lives the Best Life of Faith

The person who lives the best life of faith is someone who understands the Will that God is carrying out in this time period, knows Jesus, believes in the one sent by Him, and follows the Word that he testifies about. You will receive the blessings of the new time period if you fulfill God’s Purpose of Creation for this era.

The Samaritan Woman

The Samaritan woman at the well recognized that Jesus was the Messiah and became the very first person of faith in that time period to know the Messiah. She did not know the Old Testament, history, or how to interpret the Bible. She did not hold a religious title. However, after asking Jesus a few questions and hearing Him answer without hesitation, she immediately recognized who He was and came to live with hope. One must have wisdom and knowledge to discern the truth correctly.

The Samaritan woman was looked down upon by the Jews because she was not Jewish. Since she did not live under the influence of Old Testament laws, she had no fixed perspectives, making it easier for Jesus to speak with her. Jesus was not concerned about her telling the Jews about Him, as Jews did not associate with Samaritans.

The Gentiles

It is difficult for believers from the old time period to accept the Word of the new time period because they must tear down the walls of doctrine that they have long believed in. Letting go of their fundamental nature to follow the current new Word is a struggle. However, the Gentiles do not regard the new Word as heresy because they do not have rigid doctrinal perspectives. Those with fixed doctrinal views find it harder to accept the new Word than the Gentiles do. The Gentiles follow the central figure of the present time, rather than focusing on doctrines.

Leaving God’s Embrace

When you stray from God’s Word and the current history He is unfolding, you must not only live a life of faith on your own, but also do all the things that Heaven once did for you—by yourself. Everything that the Holy Trinity and the person sent for the time period once provided becomes cut off. When that happens, life becomes filled with fear, anxiety, and worry. Both physical and spiritual misery come like the harsh winds of winter.

Only when you follow the time period will the Almighty God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus grant what you ask at the right time, protect you from harm, and fulfill the Will together with you. God works abundantly with those who follow the new time period, and their hopes are fulfilled forever.

For those who remain in the old time period, it is a life of faith in the shadows, as the sun has already set on that era. If people do not wholeheartedly follow God into the domain where He is carrying out His new history, He will cast them out—because He must establish the new history in a new way.
