Second result of the Foundation of Faith: Receiving God's Word
What is truth? Truth in essence are the principles underlying all of creation, God's creation. Truth comes from God, is in God, was created by God.
External truth can be seen as the principles underlying the physical universe. These are principles such as these of mathematics, physical science[1] and life sciences[2].
There also exists internal truth. This is truth such as researched in religion and philosophy. This seminar about faith teaches about one aspect of internal truth.
All truth comes from God, was created by God, and the Foundation of Faith is to make a connection to God. The Foundation of Faith is also called the Foundation to receive God's Word. Why is that?
When we think of God as our loving parent, is it not natural that God would give us guidance and truth when we love God, when we live a life centered on God? This is what making the foundation of faith is about. It is to give our lives to God and live in accordance to God's will. Of course God will respond and guide us and give us truth.
All the central principles that were revealed to people over the course of history came from people who dedicated their lives to God.
Sometimes we think of truth as something that can be found only by research and by scientific methods, or by reading books that contain truth. Although all these methods can be valid, this does not yet make truth to our own truth. Truth is something that already lives in us. We were created from true principles. When we wish to find truth about ourselves and the entire cosmos, we need to connect to our most inner being, and there we meet God.
The comprehension of truth, the experiencing of an Aha! effect is what we can receive by making a foundation of faith, by going to God and living with God in our daily lives.
