Truth in Love Paul wrote in Eph. One mark of spiritual maturity is doctrinal stability. But with the steadfastness imparted by edification, our faith is stabilized. The stability recommended here is not mere stubbornness. No, the underlying premises in Eph.
Truth is vitally important.
Whether we understand truth and practice truth is a very critical matter. It is simply a fact that truth is the only ground upon which fellowship with God may be enjoyed. And it is not just for those outside of fellowship with God that truth is important. Even after that relationship has been established by obedience to the gospel, both individuals and churches will lose their connection to Jesus Christ if they abandon the truth. Clearly, truth matters far more than we sometimes suppose, no less for the believer than the unbeliever.
