“Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” I Peter 1:22-23
A pure heart is only possible through obeying the truth of the eternal word of God. Truth needs to not only be accepted intellectually, but it needs to alter moral conduct. It requires receiving, believing, embracing and yielding to truth and to its influence on the mind.
The Truth is the sum of the Revelation of God in Jesus Christ - His life, His death, His glory. It is intended to come into the life, character and inmost spirit of man so that it can grip, mold, transform, animate and impel mankind. God’s truth is revealed in His Holy Word.
