QUESTION: What is the present truth?
ANSWER: The present truth is the present testimony in contrast with the past. Judaism was the truth—Christianity has displaced it and is the present truth. One was set aside, and another one has taken its place. The gospel, in contrast with the law, is present truth. The present truth will be the past truth presently, and some may ask what 1 mean by this statement. Well, God is now writing Christ on the Christian's heart. He is now looking to see the life of Jesus manifested in the flesh. But when the next dispensation comes, God will not be writing Christ on people's hearts then instead, He will write His law in their hearts and minds. So there will be another present truth then. God is not now writing on tablets of stone, but on tablets of the heart. He is writing Christ there, and then (future) He will write glory (the glory to follow). I dare say that is to call attention to the ways of God in reference to His various testimonies in the earth.
