[Manna - February 15]
Whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected. 1 John 2:5
THE test is obedience.
In proportion as we keep
the Lord's Word, in like proportion the love of God is
perfected in us; for if we have received the mind of
Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the effect
will be to cause us to both will and do His good
pleasure—to the extent of our ability.
And this ability
should be continually on the increase year by
year.
And altho we may not hope to be perfected until
we shall be "changed" and be granted our new
resurrection bodies, nevertheless all the while we
may keep so closely in touch with the Lord in the
spirit of our minds that we may have continual fellowship
with Him. Z.'97-312 R2236:5
