Ephesians
4: 15
NKJV
15 but, speaking the truth in
love…
Speaking the
truth in love isn’t an easy thing for a follower of Christ.
For
starters, most people think that’s a judgmental thing, but it’s
not.
I used to
think that this verse meant that if we had something hard to say, it should be
done in a tender sort of way.
That’s
really not always the case.
Should we
use a sober way of rebuking someone? I think that’s fairly
obvious.
Followers of
Jesus though, should be agents of truth.
Would you
say you’re an agent of truth?
The church
should speak the truth of the Gospel to one another.
That’s what
brings the church strength.
It’s amazing
to consider how many churches that steer away from the true,
truth.
John Newton,
the great hymn writer once wrote… “Love without truth, is
cowardly…”
Being
truthful might mean you have fewer friends.
Unfortunately, that thought alone, keeps people from
being truthful.
And the
truth will set us free…
