PREFACE

The facts are the facts, but they are not really the truth. The truth is God Himself, His nature and His actions. The truth is what God has done in the history of time, namely creation, providence and redemption. He is called THE GREAT I AM.

Further to this He is called the Alpha and the Omega. This means that He always was, always is, and always will be. It means that He has always been in action, is in action, and will be in action. In other words, He will fulfil His will in creation and history.

All of this action is the truth. It embraces all deeds done by creatures within His will. It is this truth of God which is more than the observable facts we find in the phenomena of the universe.

Only the word of—which is identical with Himself—can tell us what we need to know. Humanity chose the lie instead of the truth of God (Romans 5: 25), hence we need to break out of the lie and come into the truth.

This is the purpose of this little study book. May it be a help in revealing the truth of the truth, as also a help in teaching us to live it.
