Speaking the Truth in Love- Galatians 4:12-20
One of the most difficult responsibilities in the Christian life is telling someone a truth they do not want to hear.
Most people find themselves at one of two extremes:
· Some tell the truth without love.
· Others show love without truth.
Truth without love becomes harshness.
Love without truth becomes compromise.
The Apostle Paul demonstrates a better way. In Galatians 4:12–20, we see a pastor, missionary, and spiritual father whose heart is breaking as he watches believers drift away from the gospel. The Galatians are sliding backward into legalism. False teachers have infiltrated the churches. The gospel of grace is being replaced with a gospel of performance.
