The truth of God and His Word compels us to show love towards one another. This is especially true when we consider the command to love others because of the love Christ has shown towards us. Christ’s love was perfect and unconditional. This is a challenging and convicting lens through which we can view our actions.

We should love each other. This is what God has asked us to do. The doctrine of salvation is really important. No one should be bias, we should all love and worship our one God.

Truth is eternal and unchanging. At times, truth can be difficult to face, deliver, or receive—just as love can also be challenging. However, to shy away from truth is to withhold essential aspects of love, such as accountability, correction, and guidance. When we ask ourselves, ‘What does love require of me?’ we must remember that it calls for active obedience to God’s commands, His teachings, and His truth.
