How is the church of the last days described?
Answer
"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which
keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." "Here is the patience of the
saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 12 : 17; 14: 12.
How blest the children of the Lord,
Who, walking in His sight,
Make all the precepts of His Word
Their study and delight!
What precious wealth shall be their dower,
Which cannot know decay;
Which moth and rust shall ne'er devour,
Or spoiler take away!
-Harriet Auber.

truth may be demonstrated thus:1. Love to God will admit no other god.
