What Doth God Require?

By T. GODFREY

T. GODFREY
“And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deut. 10: 12.
“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong in the behalf of those whose hearts are perfect toward him.” It is evident that God requires of every one of his children a perfect character. Therefore he has extended to each a period of probation in which to develop a character that he can accept.
It will require every moment of the allotted time to perform the task. To lose or idle away any part of the allotted time would be disastrous to our election. “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure.” God elects the character that shall inhabit eternity.
The inhabitants of the kingdom of God have sinless characters. To every one will be given a robe of righteousness; pure and white, free from every taint of sin; and there will be no more death. Death hath no more dominion over them. They shall sing “the song of Moses and the Lamb,” a song of deliverance, forever.
Olympia, Wash.
