The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.
- Alma 30:44
Truth/Things of God are spiritually learned/discerned
The things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
- 1 Corinthians 2:11, 14
Truth: comprehending things of past, present, future
And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;
- D&C 93:24
Knowing Truth brings Freedom
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
- John 8:31-32
Empty Learning = obtaining information without Truth
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves...
...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth
- 2 Tim 3:5-7
Obeying Truth brings you greater light
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. -John 3:21
Truth is eternal = not created
Man was also in the beginning
with God. Intelligence, or the
light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be. (eternal
existence) -D&C 93:29
God's Glory: Light, Truth, Intelligence
The glory of God is intelligence, in other words,
light and truth. Light and
truth forsake the evil one (power and shining essence). You have not taught your children
light and truth, according to the
commandments; and that wicked one hath power, as yet, over you. Therefore set
in order your house. -D&C 93:36-37, 43
Truth rises with us
Whatever principle of
intelligence we attain unto in this life: It rises with us (eternal progress) -D&C 130:18
Spirit = Truth = Light (and we can be filled with it and have no darkness)
...my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.
And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things. - D&C 88:66-67
Truth Abideth Forever
For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. -D&C 1:39
