Upon those who keep the commandments of God the benediction is pronounced: "Blessed are they that do
His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." They are
"a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;" that they should show forth the praises of Him
who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. The obedient are called the just; they are drawn to the holy
magnet, Jesus Christ; the holy attracts the holy. He that is unjust will be unjust still. Character cannot then be made or
transformed. The oil of grace cannot be lent by one to another, neither have the foolish virgins time to buy oil for
themselves. The righteous are those who keep the commandments of God, and they will be forever separated from the disobedient
and unrighteous who trampled underfoot the law of God. The pure ore and the dross will no longer commingle. {TM 235.2}
