“When men stand out against the truth, and men bar the doors of their souls against the truth, God in justice gives up such souls to be deluded and deceived by error, to their eternal undoing (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).  There are no men on earth so fenced against error as those are that receive the truth in the love of it. It is not he that receives the truth unto his head, but he that receives the truth affectionately into his heart, that shall enjoy the happiness of having his judgment sound and clear. It is not the hearing of truth, nor the knowing of truth, nor the commending of truth, nor the talking of truth, but the indwelling of truth in your souls, that will keep your judgments chaste and sound, in the midst of all those glittering errors that betray many souls.”
