What do you think the lecturer means when she says “loving one another is based on truth”? Why is this an important concept to understand?
-
I believe the lecturer means that a real demonstration of Christian love is sharing the life-changing gospel which shows the ‘truth’ about a person’s past, present and eternity. It is an important concept to understand so that we are not misled into thinking that love is demonstrated when untruths (or even half- truths) are tolerated just to be respectful or to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
-
It is an important concept to understand because people have their own opinion of what they believe is right or wrong, but when our love is based on truth we cannot go wrong.
-
Jesus calls us to love, even when it is hard. It is based on truth from the scriptures.
-
We can get a mixed of view of what love is based on wanting to be accepted by others. This helps us to reevaluate what love is.
-
If I truly love others I will share the truth of the Gospel with them even if it’s difficult for them to hear.
