Subject: Obedience to the Divine Precepts

Bible Note: "Those verses which contain God’s promises are far more acceptable in this day of self-pleasing and self-gratification than those which insist upon our obedience to the Divine precepts. But this ought not to be, for the one is as truly a part of God’s Word as the other, and just as much needed by us. If any vindication of our present procedure [careful and complete exposition of this passage] be required, it is sufficient to point out that the words we are to examine are those of Christ Himself, and He ever sought the glory of God and the good of souls, caring not for either the praise or the criticism of His hearers." --A. W. Pink
