Episode 91: Walking in truth, walking in love
Download MP3What does it mean to be a "Christian"? Is it about believing the right things? As we’ve seen already, it’s important to know and believe the truth about Jesus. But authentic faith is more than a matter of right belief; it’s a matter of living in a way that embodies that belief. John’s metaphor for this is “walking.” As he says in 2 John 4-6, walking in the truth of the gospel means walking in obedience to the command of Jesus. And the command that John emphasizes is for the followers of Jesus to love one another.
