[Manna - March 20]
If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free. John 8:31,32
DIVINE truth is never found except in the divinely
appointed channels: and those channels are the Lord
and the apostles and prophets.
To continue in the
doctrine set forth in their inspired writings, to study
and meditate upon them, to trust implicity in them,
and faithfully to conform our characters to them, is
what is implied in continuing in the Word of the Lord.
If we thus continue in the Word of the Lord, as earnest
and sincere disciples, we shall indeed "know the
Truth;," we shall be "firm in the faith," and "able to
give a reason for the hope that is in us," to "earnestly
contend for the faith once delivered to the saints,"
to "war a good warfare," to "witness a good confession,"
and firmly to "endure hardship as good soldiers
of Jesus Christ," even unto the end of our course. Z.'03-61 R3153:5
