TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH

How much each one of us can suffer depends on how much he is bound up with a cause, how dear this cause is to him, and how much it means for him.
In this respect we have had in Communist countries very big surprises. There have been gifted preachers and writers of Christian books who have become traitors. The composer of the best hymnal of Romania became the composer of the best communist hymnal of Romania. Everything depends on whether we have remained in the sphere of words or if we are merged with the Divine realities.
God is the Truth. The Bible is the truth about the Truth. Theology is the truth about the truth about the Truth. A good sermon is the truth about the truth about the truth, about the Truth. It is not the Truth. The Truth is God alone. Around this Truth there is a scaffolding of words, of theologies, and of exposition. None of these is of any help in times of suffering. It is only the Truth Himself who is of help, and we have to penetrate through sermons, through theological books, through everything which is ‘words’ and be bound up with the reality of God himself.

I see a key phrase in here that I feel deals with standing firm in Jesus in spite of severe persecution;

Everything depends on whether we have remained in the sphere of words or if we are merged with the Divine realities.

When the time comes, are we going to fully comprehend what "merging with Divine realities" is all about..........or will we remain in the sphere of words and compromise our faith. The "sphere of words", as I see it, is what pseudo salvation is all about. A person will not stand firm if all they have are mere "words"........it takes the reality of "Jesus in them" to be able to do this.

Think about it.
