“Speak The Truth In Love”
Tuesday, November 5, 2024Key Verse
“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15
Text — Ephesians 4:11-16
Message
Truth and love go together. They are both attributes of a real Christian and a holy child of God. Jesus Christ is the Truth, and He is the Word personified. He has thus called all His friends to spread the truth of the gospel through love and compassion for the sinful world. Be a true witness of the truth by preaching the gospel to sinful boys and girls.
Jesus Christ has laid down His life and died for us on the cross at Calvary. He calls us to accept Him as the Truth. Live by the truth by rejecting temptation to tell lies, show love to others and spread the truth to the whole world. There are wonderful blessings for those who will obey Him. These includes:
(I) Salvation and holiness.
(ii) Favour from God.
(iii) Divine wisdom.
(iv) Divine presence and help.
(v) Grace to live for Christ everyday.
(vi) Eternity with Jesus at last.
