A New Treatise Of The Duties Of A Christian Towards God PDF Download

Excerpt from A New Treatise on the Duty of a Christian Towards God: Being an Enlarged and Improved Version of the Original Treatise Can a father possibly dispense with the love and respect which his children owe him? God is, then, our father, hence we ought to love Him; He is infinitely good, we ought therefore to attach ourselves to Him and to His service; He is just, and He is all-powerful, and as such we ought to fear and respect Him. It was He who created us, and who still preserves our lives; all the blessings and advantages which we enjoy, we hold from His bountiful hand, and He holds ever in reserve gifts far more precious than any we have yet received; He desires to render us eternally happy - has He not then a right to require of us worship and homage? This worship ought to be internal, comprehending all the faculties of our soul; it should be external, so that the body may concur with the soul in the worship paid to God; and public, because that men, being destined to live in society, should assemble together to bless and adore Him who has created all.
