Common experiences join him to his fellows, and
he understands them. 'Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but
the spirit of God.... But 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 Cor. 2:11,14).
Man then, must get in contact with God, through the Holy Spirit, if he
is to know spiritual truth.
"Jesus tells just how to know the truth. 'If any man will do his will,
he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I
speak of myself (John 7:17). The way to know is to obey. 'Howbeit when
he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth'
(John 16:13).
"The secret then is out, it is as plain as day. It is this--Jesus
brought the truth to the world, and the Holy Spirit is everywhere
present to lead men into that truth. Wherever and whenever a person
desires to know the truth that he may obey it, there the Spirit of
God will be to enlighten and to lead.
