LIVING AS CHRISTIANS
Love Identifies True Christians—Rejoice With the Truth
WHY IMPORTANT: In imitation of Jesus, we must bear witness to the truth regarding God’s purposes. (Joh 18:37) We must also rejoice with the truth, speak the truth, and consider whatever things are true, despite living in a world full of falsehood and unrighteousness.—1Co 13:6; Php 4:8.
HOW TO DO IT:
Be determined not to listen to or spread harmful gossip.—1Th 4:11
Do not rejoice over another’s calamity
Take delight in positive, encouraging things
