Walking in Truth and Love - Doné van Eyk
The letters of John highlight the importance of living in truth and love. John calls us to embody Christ’s teachings. Truth without love is harsh, and love without truth lacks foundation. By staying rooted in God’s truth, we guard ourselves against false teachings and embody a love that reflects God’s character. In a world where truth often seems fluid, God’s truth is the only foundation, and His love is shown through the action we take to draw others closer to Him.
