Hear, O Instructed Indians. If you Believe in the Obedience which the Lord Jesus Christ yielded unto God, that you may be Righteous by the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ, then, as a sign of it, God gives you an Heart to imitate His example as far as you can, and be Followers of God, as Obedient Children.
Hear, O Instructed Indians. If you Believe in the Obedience which the Lord Jesus Christ yielded unto God, that you may be Righteous by the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ, then, as a sign of it, God gives you an Heart to imitate His exemple as far as you can, and be Followers of God, as Obedient Children.
Indeed it is but little Obedience that you can yield unto the Holy God: And you must with daily Repentance, Loath and Judge your selves before the Lord for its being so little.
But if you don't Obey the will of God in Jesus Christ, with Respect unto all His Commandments, you are unbelievers, and the wrath of God abideth on you. And if you be not Saints, and persons who Desire and study to be Holy in all ⟨p. 11⟩manner of conversation, you will not be meet for the Inheritance of the Saints in Light. Come then, Say, my dear Indians, O say, Lord, I count thy Precepts concerning all things to be Right, and I hate every false way. For indeed I must tell you, Without Holiness no man shall see the Lord.
