It is by His decree and Will

 It should be clear to a person that every new thing brought about in this world, subsequent to the Creation, is completed by two things, A. the Creator's decree and Will that it be brought into the realm of existence B. Intermediate causes and means- Some of them immediate and others remote some evident and others concealed, all racing to complete what was ordained to come into existence and be revealed with GD's help. pg 383

Do not rebel

 One who rebels against GD and transgresses His statures and commandments for which He promised reward and threatened punishment. If he relies on GD his hopes will be dashed and he will not deserve to be called "One who trusts in GD" pg 381

You must deserve it

 If however, one relies on the Creator while at the same time he rebels against Him how ignorant is such a person, how weak is his mind and his intellect! For he can see that (in human relationships) when an individual is charged with a certain responsibility by another person who either commands him to attend to one of his affairs or cautions him about something -and he violates this person's command if word of his violation then reaches the one who commanded him, it will be the strongest reasons for nonfulfillment of that for which he had relied on the other. pg 381

Do what is required, as you want Him to do for you

 A person should be exceedingly careful and make a great effort to fulfill what the Creator has required of him in His service to carry out His commandments and to keep far from what He has forbidden him, just as he would like the Creator to agree to that for which he relies on Him. pg 381
