About this ebook

Leaving the world is a very difficult process, because we have become accustomed to live in attachment to worldly things. Whereas, leaving the world is an absoluteness that believers should not avoid, because this is the price that must be paid by those who want to obtain Christ and their lives. It means without letting go of all things and counting them as rubbish, believers will never have Christ. In order to be able to perform the act of “letting go of all things,” someone besides having to be courageous to believe, he or she must also learn to recognize the value of the Gospel, which is the value of the Kingdom of God. For this, it needs the fathom of Christ’s sacrifice. The constant fathom of God’s love and the experience with the Lord will strengthen the passion of “letting go of all things.” In this case, God does not force someone to open his or her life room for Him. Conversely, the dark power cannot also force someone to open his or her life room for him. This is an order that can place every individual on God’s court later. So, the willingness to leave the world is the best or the only preparation to face God’s court later.
