Everything that Christians do should be as transparent as the sunlight. Truth is of God; deception, in every one of its myriad forms, is of Satan; and whoever in any way departs from the straight line of truth is betraying himself into the power of the wicked one. Yet it is not a light or an easy thing to speak the exact truth. We cannot speak the truth unless we know the truth; and how often preconceived opinions, mental bias, imperfect knowledge, errors of judgment, prevent a right understanding of matters with which we have to do! We cannot speak the truth unless our minds are continually guided by Him who is truth. | |

De, der har lært af Kristus, vil ikke være »meddelagtige i mørkets golde gerninger". I tale som i vandel vil de være enkle, ligefremme og sanddru, thi de bereder sig til samfundet med de hellige, i hvis mund der er ikke »fundet løgn". (Ef. 5,11; Åb. 14,5). |
