" . . . Because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever . . . "
Truth is on hard times these days. For anyone to claim to own it is thought ridiculous. But truth is unavoidable. Even when stupid people deny truth's existence, they are, in making that very claim, *assuming* its existence, (though the content of their statement is patently false).
Not only do true churchmen *presently* possess the truth--they will, according to the verse above, own it "forever." This is because the truth is found in Christ, who eternally always has been, and always will be the perfect Personification of it (Truth). (In this regard, see Jn. 14:6.)
[Puritan quote of the day: "To follow God fully is to follow Him as the highest good . . . " --Jeremiah Burroughs, in "The Excellency of a Gracious Spirit"]
