Truth advances the nature and attributes of God: the wisdom of God, the mercy of God, the justice of God, the power of God, the immutability of God, and the holiness of God.
There are no provisos to be laid down in point of faith; all is truth, and we must believe all. Faith does not single out its object; it does not pick and choose, but believes all that God has spoken.
The great end of God in Scripture is to bring us out of ourselves, and to bring us up to Him; to render all the world emptiness and help us discover fullness alone in Him; to bring us to believe and close with Christ, and give up ourselves to Him in ways of love and obedience.
Christians are not to receive anything lightly that concerns faith and salvation. They need to try and examine it over and over. We are not to reject an error ignorantly, but rationally; nor are we to embrace a truth till we have debated and examined whether it is a truth or not.
