Requirements of the Kingdom are
1
|
Requirements of the Kingdom are Much stricter than the law’s decrees; No other requisite of God Has ever higher been than these. |
2
|
“Repent, the Kingdom has come near,” This is the Kingdom’s first demand; A change of mind we all must have And on God’s side must firmly stand. |
3
|
That we the Kingdom enter in, Surpassing righteousness we need, Exceeding that which is of law; From life alone it must proceed. |
4
|
That we the Kingdom enter in, We need to do the Father’s will, Not by our choice to work or act But His one purpose to fulfill. |
5
|
That we the Kingdom enter in, A simple child we must become— Adjustable, obedient, meek— And everything of self o’ercome. |
6
|
The Heav’nly Kingdom e’en requires That we as God should perfect be; This standard we must fully meet That we may share its ecstasy. |
7
|
The Kingdom is the reign of God; To match His nature is required; ’Tis only by the life of God The Kingdom’s entry is acquired. |
8
|
The Kingdom is the rule of heav’n; With heaven’s state we must accord; ’Tis only by the life of heav’n That we may share it with the Lord. |
