“La Palabra de Dios nos ordena vivir «hablando la verdad con amor»3, porque no podemos formar una comunidad sin franqueza. Salomón dijo: «Una respuesta sincera es el signo de una verdadera amistad».4 A veces esto implica preocuparnos lo suficiente por quien peca o está siendo tentado como para enfrentarlo afablemente. Pablo dijo: «Hermanos, si ven que alguien ha caído en algún pecado, ustedes que son espirituales deben ayudarlo a corregirse. Pero háganlo amablemente; y que cada cual tenga mucho cuidado, no suceda que él también sea puesto a prueba».

The Bible promises, “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”23 Will you accept God’s offer?”
