Truth with Love, Love with Truth

It's so important that we understand what it means to speak the truth in love. It's an essential part of our maturity in Christ. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible #Devotions

 We desperately need God’s truth in a world filled with misinformation, false advertising, and half-truths. 

When we come to Christ, we learn that He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). He brings us both “grace and truth” (John 1:17).

Truth without love is damaging: We should never present biblical truths with sarcasm, mockery, or rudeness, and we should never fail to talk about God's forgiveness and grace.

“Love” without truth is damaging: It keeps men enslaved to sin instead of setting them free (John 8:32). It’s not really love at all because genuine love can't be separated from truth.

Whether talking to believers or unbelievers, we should share the “salt” of God’s truth in gracious, wholesome, effective ways (Colossians 4:6; Ephesians 4:29). 

This will benefit others, and it will benefit us because “speaking the truth in love” helps us become more Christlike (Ephesians 4:15).
