ON “OUR HIGHEST OBLIGATION”

George MacDonald said: “For the righteousness of God goes far beyond mere deeds, and requires of our love and helping mercy as our highest obligation, and justice to our fellow humans, those of them too who have done nothing for us – those even who have done us wrong. Our relations with others, God first and then our neighbors, must one day become as in true nature they are, the gladness of our being; and nothing then will ever appear good for us that is not in harmony with those blessed relations.”
