CXXXIII: The ordinances of God have been sent… |
|
The ordinances of God have been sent
down from the heaven of His most august Revelation.
All must diligently observe them. Man’s supreme
distinction, his real advancement, his final
victory, have always depended, and will continue to
depend, upon them. Whoso keepeth the commandments
of God shall attain everlasting felicity.

A twofold obligation resteth upon him who hath
recognized the Day Spring of the Unity of God, and
acknowledged the truth of Him Who is the Manifestation
of His oneness. The first is steadfastness in
His love, such steadfastness that neither the clamor
of the enemy nor the claims of the idle pretender can
290
deter him from cleaving unto Him Who is the Eternal
Truth, a steadfastness that taketh no account of
them whatever. The second is strict observance of
the laws He hath prescribed—laws which He hath
always ordained, and will continue to ordain, unto
men, and through which the truth may be distinguished
and separated from falsehood.
