Christians around the world are surrounded by people of all types of beliefs. We are aware of our differences, guard ourselves against the falsehoods we see and hope that we can be Ambassadors of Christ to others.

However we sometimes let down our guard when we are among other Christians. John warns “The Chosen Lady and Her Children”, along with us, that there are deceivers among us. They do not teach or live the truth.

Truth is important to God. In his prayer to the Father the very night he was to be taken away to be sacrificed for us, Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17)

If truth is not administered and lived in love, it can feel oppressive. But without truth, love is eventually destroyed.

In this month’s study, “Know the Truth“, we examine what it means to walk in truth and love.
