The Government of God
The government of God is not, as Satan would make it appear, founded upon a blind submission,
an unreasoning control. It appeals to the intellect and the conscience. “Come now, and let us
reason together” is the Creator’s invitation to the beings He has made. Isaiah 1:18. God does
not force the will of His creatures. He cannot accept an homage that is not willingly and intelligently
given. A mere forced submission would prevent all real development of mind SC.44
