The
Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the
glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and
truth. John 1:14
Our
churches today may err on one side or the other of grace and truth. Truth hates sin. Grace loves sinners. How do
we balance them both? Jesus shared His compassion and love with all people. He
came for the sick, the sinner, for you and for me. He saves us and turns us from our sin.
Strong
Christians today are known for the truth they stand on, which is important. And
too much grace with no Biblical truth waters down the Gospel and brings us into
the follies of the world. Love and share Jesus and stand for His truth. It
works. The Gospel saves and Jesus transforms. He lavishes His grace on us and
sets us on the road to obedience. He wants only the best for us, not a
watered-down version of what the world says is best. Don’t settle for
conformity. You are sons and daughters of the King. Accept His protection.
Accept His grace. Follow His truth and you will be blessed.
Lord,
Keep us balanced in truth and grace, filled with compassion and not compromise. You love all
of us, but you do hate sin. Let Your Spirit continue to sanctify us into the
life You have in store for us. It is beautiful and blessed.
Amen
