RECEIVING A PART INSURES THE WHOLE
By L. A. R.
If one will faithfully receive any truth, it will lead into all truth, for truth is a system. It is, in fact, the revelation of the character of God. It is symmetrical, harmonious, one part ever agreeing with every other part. And it was given by God to the universe in such a way that every truth should beckon on to more truth, from grace to grace, from faith to faith, from glory to glory. Similarly, to accept any error is to subject one's self to the possibility of accepting all error; for the principle of refusing any truth—that is, imbibing the corresponding error—is to reject eventually all truth, accepting all error. How serious, then, it is for us to turn away from any truth! It means that we are in grave danger of turning away from all truth. How glorious it is to accept any truth, and follow on thus to accept all truth! And Christ has pledged Himself that the Spirit of truth shall guide the honest soul into all truth.
