When it comes to God’s name, some brothers and sisters say that God’s name is Jehovah, for it is written in the Bible: “Jehovah … is My name for ever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:15), and some say that God is called Jesus, because the Bible records: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Some, however, have recently seen a verse from the Book of Revelation, chapter 1, verse 8: “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, said the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty,” from which it can be seen that God will name Hims ...

Now it is the end of the last days. Many brothers and sisters, who truly believe in the Lord and wait for Him coming back, must have such questions: The Lord Jesus has said, “And, behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 22:12). He has promised us to return. Has He come back yet? How can we know whether He has returned or not?

Xiaoyan saw the following words in the Bible: “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting on him: And see a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16-17). “Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. Jesus said to him, … Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?” (John 14:8-10). “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). After reading these verses, she felt confused: God in heaven called the  ... Read more »

At the age of six or seven, once when my eldest uncle and aunt came to my home to visit my grandma, I saw my aunt talk to herself, and laugh one moment and cry another, of which I was extremely afraid. With curiosity, I asked my mother what had happened to my eldest aunt. She said with a sigh, “Your aunt is ill. There’s something wrong with her brain.” Later I was told by my family that in order to have her disease cured, my eldest uncle once sought doctors and remedies everywhere and had spent all the savings. However, she never got better. On this account, my eldest uncle always drowned his sorrows in drink alone.

In the summer of 2004, my father and his younger brother brought back a few brothers and sisters who believed in the Lord. At our home, they led us to sing the hymns of praising the Lord and preached the Lord J ... Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, I am Wei Na and I’d like to tell you how I welcomed the returned Lord Jesus. Just like many brothers and sisters in the Lord, my greatest wish was to wait for the Lord to come and rapture me into the kingdom of heaven. However, in recent years, I felt I was very far away from the Lord; I was unable to feel the presence of the Lord even when attending worship in church and always felt drowsy when reading the Bible at home. In order to find a church with the work of the Holy Spirit, I visited several other churches in succession, but the sermons o ... Read more »

Editor’s Note:

Many people, after believing in the Lord, hold that since the Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins, we have been saved by grace when we accept His salvation. When the author of this article saw the words of the Lord Jesus, “He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48), she pondered: Won’t the Lord lift us up directly into the kingdom of heaven when He returns? Why will He do the judgment work in the last days? How will He do it? Read this article to learn the latest knowledge of  ... Read more »

A gust of autumn wind blew through, sweeping up the fallen leaves in the yard. Sitting by the window, I frowned and pondered over these verses, “Behold, the days come … that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah” (Amos 8:11), and “And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered” (Amos 4:7). It can be seen from these verses that God will cause famine to befall the religious world when His followers all deviate from His way and no longer obey His words. That is to say, the desolation of the church is ordained by God, but what is God’s intention behind that? And ... Read more »

A gospel website has ingeniously launched several chat sections recently, including “A Brief Talk: Is the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven or on Earth?”; “Get Involved: Have You Been Raptured?”; “A Question: Are You Following God’s Will?” etc. In the end, Shang Jin chose the section, “A Brief Talk: Is the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven or on Earth?” She was interested in this topic, because during over a decade of her believing in the Lord, each of the spiritual elders she met told her, “Shang Jin, you must pursue the Lord. In the future He will take us back to the heavenly home, and we will live in heaven. It is a place where there are grounds paved with gold and walls of jasper, and w ... Read more »

Though I was born into a Christian family, my parents never explained any knowledge about the Bible to me because of their being uneducated. Afterward, I attended a church parochial school. The teacher would give us a Bible lesson every week. From then on, I began to understand the Bible, knowing that in it there are so many legendary spiritual figures such as Noah, Abraham, and David. They were all marvelous persons and their stories made me admire and envy them. Gradually, I started to attend Sunday School, and leant how to pray. However, later, I didn’t continue going there due to the stress from life. Instead, I left home to work.

Due to the belief I accepted before, I knew that belief in God was in order t ... Read more »
