Relationships are built upon these three components of truth, love, and faith— removing one these will break the unity of the relationship. APPLICATION 2. Love doesn’t accept everything and everyone —it obediently follows the truth of God pointing others to the truth of God. The most loving thing I can do is to point someone to what is true rather than giving them cover for their false beliefs. 3. As a church, we must guard truth through our love for one another and commitment to right doctrine. BUILD LOVING RELATIONSHIPS ON TRUTH.
