ABSTRACT
In the creation of the kingdom of God on earth, man is indispensable. God will not coerce any son of man to walk in God's ways, to keep His statutes and His ordinances and listen to His voice. Man has the freedom to choose life or death, the blessing or the curse; and throughout the Bible God pleads with man to follow in the path of righteousness. God was unknown in the world which He had made; men worshipped sticks and stones; they did nothing to enhance His glory; so God looked down upon the human scene and found some men with whom He made a bargain. It is not only prayer that gives God glory but work. To go to communion worthily gives God great glory, but to take food in thankfulness and temperance gives Him glory too.
