I went merely into the spirit world and found my place just where the condition of my soul, in its harmony with God’s Laws and His Truths, fitted me for and determined that I should be placed.
The condition of soul determines the destiny of the spirit. No mere belief in self-righteousness, or the conviction that I—the individual—have been specially favored by God to do His Work, or that I am closer to God and more deserving of His special Mercy and Favor, or that a special dispensation is exercised in my behalf, can ever place me in different surroundings or conditions or degrees of happiness from what the actual harmony of the qualities of my soul with the Laws of God, and the workings thereof, entitle me to.
The Law of Fitness works invariably and under all circumstances, and the conditions and qualities of the soul in the spirit world can never be hidden nor counterfeited. Then, it is seen face to face, and the law, in its application and effect, never makes a mistake so that the soul not having the fitness can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven by crying, “Lord, Lord, did I not prophesy in Thy Name?”, etc
