Truth Will Triumph, July 5
Not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully;
but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s
conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:2
.
There is to be no undermining of the fundamental truths that the Lord
has submitted by many miraculous evidences. A voice is to be heard in clear
affirmation of the truth, in contradiction to the skepticism and fallacies that
have been coming in from the enemy of truth. Reformations will take place,
and the working out of the principles of divine truth will reveal growth in
grace, for the divine agencies are efficient to enlighten and sanctify the human
understanding.
The truth as it is in Jesus, as it was proclaimed by Him when He was
enshrouded by the billowy cloud, is verity and truth in this our day, and will
just as surely renovate the mind of the receiver as it has renovated minds
in the past. Christ has declared, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (
Luke 16:31
).
As a people, we must prepare the way of the Lord, under the overruling
guidance of the Holy Spirit, for the spread of the gospel in its purity. The
stream of living water is to deepen and widen in its course. In all fields,
nigh and afar off, men will be called from the plow and from the more
common commercial business vocations that largely occupy the mind, and
will become educated in connection with men who have had experience—
men who understand the truth. Through most wonderful workings of God,
mountains of difficulty will be removed and cast into the sea....
Those who preach the truth will strive to demonstrate the truth by a well-
ordered life and godly conversation. And as they do this, they will become
powerful in advocating the truth and in giving it the sure application that God
has given it....
The call is to go forth, “Son, go labor today in My vineyard.” As this
call is obeyed, the message that means so much to the dwellers on the earth,
will be heard and understood. Men will know what is truth. Onward, and
still onward, will the work advance. And marked events of Providence will
be seen and recognized, in judgments and in blessings. The truth will bear
away the victory.—
Letter 230, July 5, 1906
, to the elders of the Battle Creek
church and to ministers and physicians.
