Truth is the supreme measurement, the absolute essential, the one criteria by which everything stands or falls. He can defeat truth with deception, with ignorance, with distortion, with misplaced emphasis, with manipulation of the facts, and with half correct perceptions. Satan cannot defeat love for God that surrenders to God and loves people. Love will always defeat evil. Because love does what is good even to those who are evil.
Love defeats evil because love practices good.
Love for God and people will not allow you to oppose truth. Devotion only to truth will allow you to be unloving, and to justify horrible, ungodly attitudes, acts, and words that destroy love in the name of truth. When God's forgiveness is coupled to our commitment to God, and both are bound together with the love that lives in us because we belong to Christ, we experience the ideal spiritual relationship. Our commitment will not exploit the forgiveness of God. The forgiveness extended by God's goodness will never be exhausted.
