Bending God’s truth

I’m not sure, but this may be my last blog article of the year.

And as we end this year, and look into the next, it’s good to remember the truths John sets forth here. Namely. each day we are to walk in truth and love.

Too often, Christians nowadays stress love, but in the name of love, they start bending the truth, especially concerning the truth about righteousness. They go beyond what Jesus and the apostles teach, saying things like “Well, Jesus and his apostles may have taught this or that, but this is the ‘trajectory’ his teaching was going in.”

But by going down that supposed “trajectory,” they stop abiding in truth and actually end up nullifying it.

Yes, we should love sinners. But love does not mean bending God’s truth and telling them what is evil is good.

So let us not simply live in “love.” But let us have a love based in truth.

Through Jesus came grace and truth (John 1:14, 17). Let both of these things flow through our lives each day.
