of two equal gods is therefore a chimera.
There may be more kings than one,
because royalty only implies that each is
vested with sovereign authority in his own
dominions; but there cannot be a plurality
of gods, because, from the nature of
things, only one can be possessed of all
possible perfections. (Wakefield, Samuel.
Christian Theology. New York: Nelson &
Phillips, 1873, pp. 140, 141.)

Sinful men cannot worship, obey, and love God in an
acceptable way until they become properly related to
God through the mediatorial work of Jesus Christ.
The sinner must turn his back to sin in repentance
before he can turn his face toward God in worship.
He must exercise trust in Christ as Sacrifice before
he can yield proper obedience to Him as Lord. He
must surrender to God's saving grace and
transforming power before he can be filled with
Christ's imparted righteousness which is love. Only
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
therefore, can man properly fulfill his threefold
responsibility of worship, obedience, and love.
