Her children are the members within. Elder John said that the truth is the motivation of his love for the brethren. A love outside of the truth is not true love, as he continues to write:<\/p><p><em><i>\u201cThis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.\u201d (2 John 1:6\u20137)<\/i><\/em><\/p><p><em><i>\u201cIf anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.\u201d (2 John 1:10\u201311)<\/i><\/em><\/p><p>We emphasize love in the church, but it must be a discerning love that differentiates the truth from falsehood. God&#8217;s love cannot be separated from the truth. He reveals His love within His written word and imparts His word to us so that we can follow it and be saved from destruction. In turn, we love God by following His commandments.<\/p><p>Knowing this, let us be sanctified by the truth, ensuring we follow the same gospel preached by the apostles, which aligns with God&#8217;s principles throughout the Bible. Allow God&#8217;s word to take root in our hearts to illuminate our path, distinguish God&#8217;s will from worldly ideals, and bring sweetness and spiritual vitality to our lives. Learning the word of God and constantly meditating on it is vital to our survival in a world full of confusion and deceit. As we walk on our journey of faith, let us pray for the Holy Spirit to guard us with the truth and keep us in the love of the Lord Jesus.<\/p><p>We warmly welcome you to our upcoming <strong><b>Spring 2025 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation (ESSC)<\/b><\/strong>.
