The love that is expressed among the saints is the result of God working in the lives of believers, through the truth of His Word. The basis of our unity, love and co-operation are all established on the firm foundations of God’s truth. In a general sense we express this as meaning, firstly Jesus Himself as being ‘the Truth’, and secondly, the Truth of what He says and teaches - the gospel of truth. Jesus said of Himself that He is ‘the Way, the Truth and the Life’ - it is ALL in Him! It is for the sake of, or on account of, this great truth that all who believe in Him, participate in His love. As a family gathered from all walks of life, backgrounds and nationalities, believers mutually benefit, from having the God-supplied ability to both give and receive, His incomparable love. The Bible speaks of Jesus indwelling the saint, but also of His word, dwelling within those who obey Him. Clearly the truth of God, what He has taught and delivered to humanity, is meant to live ‘within us’. This clarifies that the truth should not be found merely in our Bibles, our religious ceremonies or our churches. It is the will of God that His truth abides and be found, deep within the believer’s heart, mind and soul. It must become his life and the basis upon which all thought, speech and action is founded. Indwelling truth is not relegated to a mere few, but the privilege of all who come to salvation and believe in Jesus. This Truth sets us free from sin, to serve the Living God! It liberates us from the bondage of error and redirects our feet to the path of life! The indwelling truth of God becomes the moral compass, which helps us navigate the treacherous waters of the world, and guides us safely to our eternal home!
