- CHRIST IS ALL AND IN ALL.
COLOSSIANS III. 11.

THE Obligation to love and obey GOD which arises from the perpetual dependence of men, as intelligent creatures, upon GOD, considered as their CREATOR, is the religion of nature. The relation formed by this dependence obliges them to be devoted to the service and glory of him who made, preserves and governs them. In this religion GOD the CREATOR is all and in all.
