God will always reveal the absolute truth as to present duty to one who seeks Him in accordance with His expressed will. We have God's promise as to this. One reason why there is such a wide divergence of views among good men as to truth, is that good men so often undertake to get at the truth of matters which have nothing to do with their present duty, and concerning which God has never promised to reveal the truth.
There are other factors in the situation, also, prominent among them being the arch-enemy of all truth, the father of lies, whose business it is to swerve good men just a little from living7in accordance with God's will, knowing that he is thereby effectually blocking them in their endeavor to see the truth. But it is eternally true that whatsoever a child of God needs to know, and earnestly seeks to know, turning to God the Father only as the ultimate appeal in all truth-seeking, that child of God will be shown by God the Father. If we can not believe that, the universe is a blind, groping chaos.
To say that because good men differ in their theological or religious beliefs, therefore God either can not or will not reveal needed truth to a child of His own creating, is an argument that will not appeal to any one who has tested and experienced God's abundant, truth-revealing bounty. Whatever failure exists among Christian men to arrive at a common understanding of needed truth is whose fault, God's, or men's?—Sunday-School Times.
