    Knowing the Truth

    It is evident from these considerations that the purpose and plan of God for His children is that they know the precious word of truth. If we heed the divine counsel, we shall be “thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:17. Put in another form and in relation to the truth of God, it might be listed as follows:BSPC 44.6

    It is desired by God that we know the truth (1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Timothy 3:7; Hebrews 10:26; 2 John 1); acknowledge the truth (2 Timothy 2:25; Titus 1:1); believe the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13); obey the truth (Galatians 5:7; 1 Peter 1:22); love the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10); speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15).BSPC 44.7

    Well has the messenger of the Lord said:BSPC 45.1

    “In the Bible are found the only safe principles of action. It is a transcript of the will of God, an expression of divine wisdom.... God has made known His will, and it is folly for man to question that which has gone out of His lips. After Infinite Wisdom has spoken, there can be no doubtful questions for man to settle, no wavering possibilities for him to adjust. All that is required of him is a frank, earnest concurrence in the expressed will of God. Obedience is the highest dictate of reason as well as of conscience.”—The Acts of the Apostles, 506.BSPC 45.2
