How to Love in a World of Hate

Our words have never mattered more than they do today.

With so many people from so many different cultures and so many different walks of life, it’s all too easy to offend. But is there a way to be true to ourselves and our thoughts while still respecting the different thoughts of others?

Ephesians 4:15 says, “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” 

In other words, everything we say and do and think should make us more and more Christlike. So when we relate to others, we must strive to be 3 things: bold, truthful, and loving. Why? Because working towards these qualities will allow God to sanctify us.

Who do you need to be bold, truthful, and loving to this week? We’d love to hear your story in a comment below.
