English Christian Song | "Are You One Who Seeks to Be Perfected by God?"

I
If you are someone who pursues being made perfect,
then you'll have borne testimony,
and you will say: "In this step-by-step work of God,
I have accepted God's work of chastisement and judgment,
and though I have endured great suffering,
I have come to know how God makes man perfect,
I've gained the work done by God,
I have had the knowledge of the righteousness of God,
and His chastisement has saved me.
His righteous disposition has come upon me and brought me blessings and grace;
it is His judgment and chastisement that has protected and purified me.
II
If I had not been chastised and judged by God,
and if the harsh words of God had not come upon me,
I could not have known God, and nor could I have been saved.
As a created being, not only does one enjoy all things made by the Creator,
but, more importantly,
all created beings should enjoy God's righteous disposition
and enjoy His righteous judgment,
because God's disposition is worthy of man's enjoyment.
As a created being that has been corrupted by Satan,
one should enjoy God's righteous disposition.
III
In His righteous disposition there is chastisement and judgment,
and moreover, there is great love.
Although I'm incapable of completely gaining the love of God today,
I have had the good fortune to see it, and in this I have been blessed."
This is the path walked by those who experience being made perfect,
and this is the knowledge of which they speak.
Such people are the same as Peter; they have the same experiences as Peter.
Such people are also those who have gained life, who possess the truth.
When they experience until the very end, during the judgment of God
they'll surely completely rid themselves of the influence of Satan,
and be gained by God, be gained by God.
