The Kingdom of God is maintained by the Truth

The "kingdom is not set up, maintained, or advanced in the world, by human policy, but by the truth. It might be expected, that when the power of the sword is laid aside, there would be more need of this kind of wisdom. But instead of this wisdom, we have here the truth. They that were employed at first in setting up and promoting this kingdom in the world, used great plainness of speech, and spake naked truth without disguise." - John Glas, The works of Mr. John Glas: In Four Volumes, pg. 100
