Who Knows the Truth?

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.* Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Romans 12. 9 - 13

One of the greatest travesties of Biblical usage is when people use the words of Scripture as weapons. Pay close attention to slogans, memes, and t shirts, and you will see what I am talking about. Recently I saw a slogan from Romans that used a line from scripture to claim that only Christians know the truth.

The above passage from Romans appointed for today reminded me that only people who love genuinely, hate evil, hold fast to good, love one another with mutual affection and so on know the truth. They can be Christians or Jews or Muslims or Buddhists, and that IMHO is why God Incarnate came to earth.
