hath in store for us; we never shall know if we refuse to
accept a new idea.
This idea of progress in spiritual understanding, is
clearly taught in the Bible. "Greater works shall he
do" ("that believeth on me," which makes these words
apply to believers of every age.) Paul speaks of "milk"
for "babes," and "strong meat" for "full age." Simple
spiritual thoughts for us in immature consciousness, but
strong sustenance for fuller developed thought." That
we may grow up into Him in all things." "Till we all
come * * to the measure of the fulness of the stature of Christ." -- Eph. 4:13. "Therefore leaving the principles (or first teachings) of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection." -- Heb. 6:1, 2.

a new earth;" Ezek. 11:19, "I will put a new spirit within you;" Matt. 26:28," This is my blood of the new
testament;" Mark 16:17, "They (that believe on Me)
shall speak with new tongues;" Jno. 13:34, "A new
commandment give I unto you;" 2 Cor. 5:17, "If any
man be in Christ (the Truth) he is a new creature, all
things have become new;" Col, 3:10, "Put on the new
man;" Rev. 2:17, "To him that overcometh will I give
. . . a new name;" 3:12, "I will write upon him my
new name;" 5:9, "They sung a new song;" 21:5, "Behold I make all things new."
Why, we cannot enter into Truth until we are ready
to accept all these "new" things. Truth is not changing. "New things" are only the eternal things seen by a
new light -- even by Divine illumination called the Spirit.
