Truth Will Triumph, September 15
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 sub-
mitted 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 en-
shrouded 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
[238]
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.
