AR 517 - To Give Glory to the God of Heaven and Doing Goods

AR 517

To give glory to the God of heaven means,
symbolically, to acknowledge the Lord
as God of heaven and earth -
to give glory symbolizing
to acknowledge and worship,
and the God of heaven meaning the Lord,
because He is God of heaven and earth:

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying,
"All authority has been given to  Me
in heaven and on earth."
(Matthew 28:18)

Because these people were moved by their fear
to acknowledge the Lord,
they were set apart in order
that they might be examined
as to the basis on which they did goods,
whether they did so on their own or from the Lord.
People who do goods on their own
are all those who do not refrain from evils
as being sins, that is,
who do not live
according to the Ten Commandments,
whereas people who do them from the Lord
are those who do refrain from evils as being sins
and live according to the Ten Commandments.
