I

In the final stage of His work, God expresses to man and tells them all the truths mankind needs and the principles of practice they need, in all their aspects, so that man may know what the standards of God's requirements are, how they should engage with all things, how they should regard all things, how they should be stewards of all things, what the mode of their existence should be, and in what manner they should live before God, as true created beings under the dominion of the Creator.

II

Given that the law, commandments, and simple criteria for behavior are no substitute for the truth, God expresses a great many words and truths in the last days that have to do with man's practice, their self-conduct and actions, and their views on people and things. God tells man how to view people and things, and how to conduct themselves and act. That God tells man all of this means that God requires you to view people and things, and to conduct yourself and act according to all these truths, and thereby to live in the world.

III

Whatever sort of duty you do and whatever sort of commission you accept from God, His requirements of you do not change. Once you have understood the requirements of God, regardless of whether He is beside you or scrutinizing you, you are to practice, do your duty and accomplish God's commission of you according to His requirements as you understand them. It's only in this way that you may truly become a master of all things in whom God is assured, and who's up to standard, and who's worthy of His commission.
