Subjects Made by Voluntary Submission
Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


Earthly kingdoms claim all who dwell within territorial limits. A river, a chain of hills, an imaginary line, may determine the question who are the subjects of its rule. But in this kingdom all are enrolled as subjects who voluntarily submit to it, and none else.

(Newman Hall, LL. B.)
