The Spirit will lead unerringly
every soul who wants the truth and will submit to His leadership. He
will lead the sinner to sincere and genuine repentance, the believer
into true sanctification, and also into the deeper experiences of
sanctification and love, and into a true Christian life.
"There is a remarkable instance on record, showing what an honest
desire to know the truth will accomplish. Years ago a portion of the
gospels was washed ashore in the East. The natives read and re-read
that portion over and over. What could it mean? It told of Jesus, but
who was Jesus? It spoke of His dying, but what for? And yet, so strong
was the impression this scrap of the gospel made, that regular periods
were set apart to worship the Being hinted at in that portion. An
honest effort was made to do His will. After several years, God sent
some missionaries to that country, and it was to their surprise to
find a tribe open-hearted to receive the truth.
"'Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace' (Job 22:21).
