OBEDIENCE THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Robert Ellis Key

The power of Truth is formidable, and it is felt. Every aspect of mortal thought is being challenged by a divine standard. This standard is the one set up by the Master, Christ Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount. He said (Matt. 5:48), "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

The standard of perfection does not and cannot refer to the mortal, else it would contradict another statement Jesus made to Nicodemus, as recorded in John's Gospel (3:6,7): "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."

Christ Jesus did not find a standard of perfection in mortal men. He unveiled a spiritual kingdom in which the man of God's creating, the man who is born of Spirit and governed by spiritual law, expresses perfection. Throughout all eternity the standard of perfection has remained unchanged, awaiting recognition.
