Biblical Truth Begetting Biblical Love

"Well, that may be your truth, but it's not my truth." Have you ever heard that phase before? We live in a post-truth world. That does not mean that the world no longer talks about truth, but that the word truth now means something different than it used to. 

We can summarize this difference by asking one key question: what is the source of truth? The post-truth world will say that the individual is the source of truth. Their feelings, thoughts, and desires. It's "my truth." But the Bible, and reality itself, tells another story. Truth has one origin, one source. God Himself is the source of all truth and He reveals the truth in His Word. 

The next question the is this: will we submit ourselves to The Truth, God's truth? Or will we reject truth to follow our own sinful ambition?

In his 3rd letter, the Apostle John writes to a fellow brother in Christ to encourage him to receive the truth and those who bear witness to it, rooting the action of brotherly love in the reality of truth proclaimed by God and handed down through the Apostles.
