C.H. Spurgeon on the Word of God

The following is taken from C.H. Spurgeon's Morning & Evening Devotional:

"For the truths sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for
 ever."-2 John 2

"Once let the truth of God obtain an entrance into the human heart and
 subdue the whole man unto itself, no power human or infernal can
 dislodge it. We entertain it not as a guest but as the master of the
 house-this is a Christian necessity, he is no Christian who doth not thus
 believe. Those who feel the vital power of the gospel, and know the might of
 the Holy Ghost as He opens, applies, and seals the Lord's Word, would
 sooner be torn to pieces than be rent away from the gospel of their
 salvation. What a thousand mercies are wrapt up in the assurance that the
 truth will be with us for ever; will be our living support, our dying
 comfort, our rising song, our eternal glory; this is Christian privilege,
 without it our faith were little worth. Some truths we outgrow and
 leave behind, for they are but rudiments and lessons for beginners, but we
 cannot thus deal with Divine truth, for though it is sweet food for
 babes, it is in the highest sense strong meat for men. The truth tha!
 t we are sinners is painfully with us to humble and make us watchful;
 the more blessed truth that whosoever believeth on the Lord Jesus shall
 be saved, abides with us as our hope and joy. Experience, so far from
 loosening our hold of the doctrines of grace, has knit us to them more
 and more firmly; our grounds and motives for believing are now more
 strong, more numerous than ever, and we have reason to expect that it will
 be so till in death we clasp the Saviour in our arms.

Wherever this abiding love of truth can be discovered, we are bound to
 exercise our love. No narrow circle can contain our gracious
 sympathies, wide as the election of grace must be our communion of heart. Much of
 error may be mingled with truth received, let us war with the error
 but still love the brother for the measure of truth which we see in Him;
 above all let us love and spread the truth ourselves."
