1379. Obey Fully Every Precept of God

Obey Fully Every Precept of God

"If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself" (Joh_7:17).

To become a real Bible student one must obey every Bible injunction. We can only know, as we follow on to know the Lord. The Great Teacher will not teach His Word to those who refuse to obey His Word. If we are to know His will, we must do it. God will give understanding in His precepts, only to those who observe them. If God's Word is "settled in Heaven;" the student upon earth must set his heart to perform His statutes alway, even unto the end. If God's testimonies are righteous and faithful, if all His Words are Truth, the true Bible student will zealously keep His sayings. He will heed the Word with the same zest that he hears the Word; he will live out the Word with the same spirit in which he takes in the Word; he will practice the Word with the same ardor that he preaches the Word; he will be made "wiser than his enemies," and will have "more understanding than all the ancients."

Some saints there are too full of talk,

To take the time to guide their walk

Within the will of God.

And thus it is they never know,

Whether from God or man doth flow,

The doctrine they profess.
