What is truth?
Underlying topic(s):
- This page is part of an ERW course, Divine Principle. By John Eagles, 1999.
Because God is alive, God's Truth also is alive. Because God is absolute, God's Truth also is absolute. Because God is eternal, God's Truth also is eternal. Because God is unique, God's Truth also is unique. Because God is growing, God's Truth also is growing. Because God’s wish is to make us pure, God’s Truth also is purifying. Because God is a God of Heart, God's Truth expresses God’s Heart of Love. Therefore the Truth is alive, absolute, eternal, unique, growing, purifying and loving.
People who lost faith in the Truth, have lost faith in God, their loving Parents. God was, is and will be. Therefore God's Truth was, is and will be. Often the Truth is referred to as "The Word." The Word is God's Word of love. Before man was, there was the Word. Man was created from God's Word. Man is created as God's children. The Truth is God's Word of love, the love of Parents, father and mother, our God, our Parents, for us, God's beloved children.
The Word is light. There was darkness, a nothingness, and there came God's Word of love. Then the darkness vanished, and a wonderful reality of love and light came into existence. The Divine Principle is God's Word of love, which can be expressed in different, unique and particular ways.
The Divine Principle is a revelation from God, the Truth from God. Man can only receive the Truth from God. To receive God's Word of love is an expression of God's great love for man. Man without knowing God's Truth, lives in darkness. Man who receives God's Truth in his heart, will live in light and happiness. [1]
