"To be cleansed in your lifetime, to be changed in disposition, to live out a life of meaning, to fulfill your duty as a creature, you have to accept God's chastisement, His judgment on your sinful ways. You can't try to escape His discipline that frees you from control of Satan. You must let God smite and deal with you. So you can break free from the influence of Satan, the force that holds you in its sway, and you can live, and you can live, and you can live more in the light of God.
For several thousand years, man has longed to be able to witness the arrival of the Savior. Man has longed to behold Jesus the Savior on a white cloud as He descends, in person, among those who have pined and yearned for Him for thousands of years. Man has longed for the Savior to return and be reunited with the people, that is, for Jesus the Savior to come back to the people from whom He has been apart for thousands of years. And man hopes that He will once again carry out the work of redemption that He did among the Jews, will be compassionate and loving toward man, will forgive the sins of man, bear the sins of man, and even bear all of man’s transgressions and deliver man from sin.
