True belief results in a firm conviction, which will be confessed with the mouth - will be taught clearly and without compromise - will be upheld and defended. Brother John Ullman "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"

"Where is the man among 'philosophers' who will stultify, or idiotize himself*
by saying that the Creator permitted chance to elaborate the terrestrial system?
The thing is absurd. The fool says in his heart it is not God. Why does he say so?

"Because he would make the cause of all things, a mere physical disposition in matter,
destitute of all intellectual and moral attributes,
in order that he may get rid of all responsibility to such a Being .
He hates truth, righteousness, and holiness,
and therefore he vainly strives to persuade himself that there is no God of
a truthful, righteous, and holy character."

"As a thief, as a midnight robber, Christ will steal upon the world. In like manner he will come to many in the brotherhood. But not so to faithful brethren and sisters. To these he will come, not as an unexpected and unwanted intruder, but as a looked for and longed for friend. Their attitude will be one of expectancy, although they may not know the day or hour of the event. What is our attitude in the matter? Are our thoughts fixed on Christ's return? Are we ready and waiting to give him a welcome? Let us not deceive ourselves. It is possible for us to believe that we are the friends of Christ when we are nothing of the kind. The Scriptures foreshadow the bitter humiliation of many who will have been so deluded (Matt. 7:22-23). To avoid such a calamity, let us engage freely in self-examination. Do we keep the commandments? Only those who do are his friends (John 15:14). May his word so motivate us that we may not be put to shame in the approaching day of our Lord's appearing." Logos 1985
