147. God has as an attribute that He is true
for it is written: “Let God be true and every man a
liar.” Rom. iii. 4. Does the
Spirit lie Who is the Spirit of Truth? S. John xvi. 13.
and Whom we
have shown
to be called the Truth, since John called Him too the Truth, as also
the Son? And David says in the psalm: “Send out Thy
light and Thy truth, they have led me and brought me to Thy holy hill
and to Thy tabernacles.” Ps. xliii.
[xlii.] 3. If you
consider that in this passage the Son is the light, then the Spirit is
the Truth, or if you consider the Son to be the Truth, then the Spirit
is the light.
