The Path is threefold :
(a) " Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves ”' (James i. 22). (6) “ And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make
you free" (John viii. 32). (c) “... The first change is from heathenism to faith ...
the second from faith to knowledge. And the latter terminating in love, thereafter gives the loving to the
loved ” (A.N.C. Lib. xii. 448). (d) “Love is the keeping of commandments . . . and the
keeping of them is the establishment of commandments from which immortality results" (A. N.C.
Lib. xii. 375). 10. Deification the result of following the Right Path : (a) “.... Practical wisdom is divine knowledge, and exists
in those who are deified” (A.N.C. Lib. xii. 378). (b) “That ye might be filled with all the fulness of God”
(Eph. iii. 19). (c) “ Till we all come . . . unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Eph. iv. 13). (d) “ That ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing"
(James i. 4). (e) “ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are
not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us” (Romans viii. 18).
11. The Effect of Deification : (a) “... there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain ; for the
former things are passed away” (Rev. xxi. 4). (6) “ In the soul the pain is gone, but the good remains ; and
the sweet is left, but the base wiped away” (A.N.C.
Lib. xii. 364). (c) “... they are called by the appellation of Gods” (A.N.C.
Lib. xii. 447).
