“Christ does not find his subjects fitted for his kingdom, but he qualifies them by his
divine power.” Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.’ The whole life of Christ upon earth was lived for the purpose of manifesting the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. Said Christ, ‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
“The character which we now manifest is deciding our future destiny. The happiness of heaven will be found by conforming to the will of God, and if men become members of the royal family in heaven, it will be because heaven has begun with them on earth.
God knows who are the loyal and true subjects of His kingdom on earth, and those who do His will upon earth as it is done in heaven, will be made the members of the royal family above.”
