It is Love to tell a person the Truth even though they may be bothered by it, even offended by it.
If you are reluctant to tell a person the Truth, it is because you love yourself too much and are afraid of rejection. Jesus was not afraid of telling the Truth, neither was Paul, and neither am I. You cannot have a true relationship based on a lie.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 4:
1 Timothy, in the presence of our great God and our Lord Jesus Christ, the One Who is destined to judge both the living and the dead by the revelation of His Kingdom— I solemnly instruct you to
2 proclaim the Word of God and stand upon it no matter what! Rise to the occasion and preach when it is convenient and when it is not. Preach in the full expression of the Holy Spirit—with Wisdom and patience as you instruct and teach the people.
3 For the time is coming when they will no longer listen and respond to the healing words of Truth because they will become selfish and proud. They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.
4 They will close their ears to the Truth and believe nothing but fables and myths. 5 So be alert to all these things and overcome every form of evil. Carry in your heart the passion of your calling as a church planter and evangelist, and fulfill your ministry calling.
Many churches continue to preach a watered-down gospel and most attendees are simply pew warmers once a week… maybe.
Very few churches allow The Holy Spirit to operate. He may not even be allowed in the building.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 1:
10 For this reason, Beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as His own. If you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 As a result, the Kingdom’s gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the Eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
It is clear that Peter did not preach “once saved, always saved.” We are to confirm and validate our salvation by our words and acts. If you aren’t, repent. We are to be Heavenly-minded so that we will be earthly-good on behalf of The Kingdom.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:
1 Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is Above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority!
2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.
We should support those who align with us and who focus on the Heavenly realm while here on earth. Those who would promote worldly, unrighteous values are effectively enemies of Christ.
Would you align yourself with such an enemy? Look at the fruit!
