Love without Lies | Romans 12:9

The sermon centers on Romans 12:9–13, calling believers to live as 'living sacrifices' by embracing genuine, unfeigned love and a deep abhorrence of evil, while steadfastly clinging to what is good. It emphasizes that true love is not performative or deceptive—illustrated through the treacherous duplicity of Joab and Judas—and calls for authenticity in relationships, both within the church and beyond, rejecting hypocrisy, gossip, and the subtle sin of pretending affection. The message underscores that godly discernment comes from Scripture and the Holy Spirit, not cultural trends, and warns against flirting with sin by treating it as harmless, urging believers to flee from evil as utterly repulsive and to root themselves in God's unchanging truth. Ultimately, the passage calls for a transformed life marked by humility, integrity, and a commitment to Christ's standard of love, which is both active and truthful.
