沒有真理的愛是煽情，它支持我們、肯定我們，卻讓我們否認自己的缺陷;沒有愛的真理是苛刻，它給我們資訊，但使用的方式卻讓我們無法真正地聽見。然而，上帝在基督裡的拯救之愛，標明了關於我們是誰的根本真理，也在根本上無條件地向我們委身，這恩慈的委身賜給我們力量，使我們能看見關於自己的真理，並且悔改，知罪和悔改又驅使我們去緊緊抓住上帝的憐憫和恩典，在其中安息。

“Love
without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in
denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us
information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love
in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and
yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment
strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and
repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace.”
