If one has the truth, he will have strength; if one has the truth, he will have the will; if one has the truth, he will have inexhaustible strength all over; if one has the truth, he will be strong and bold. Only if one knows God and has the truth does he live in the light; he has his goal in life and conducts himself according to the truth, obeys God absolutely and lives by God’s word. His path gets brighter and brighter, and he feels assured and enlightened deep in his soul and lives freely and unrestrained in God’s presence. Such is a real man, a man who has the truth. This is the most meaningful and is what the Ruler of the entire universe and all things—God Most High—approves of.
