(James Smith, "Good seed for the Lord's field!" 1856)
What does God require of His children?
God requires unqualified submission to His Word. You must . . .
receive the doctrines He has revealed,
believe the promises He has made, and
perform the precepts He has given.
His doctrines are to enlighten you,
His promises are to comfort you,
His precepts are to direct you, and
His providence is to supply you.
God requires you to look upon Himself as your Father, and to walk before Him as such--in faith, love, and holy obedience. He has provided grace to enable you to perform all that He requires--and He bids you to ask and receive.
