“The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth, because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.”
The truth unites us in love. There is a bond of love that you have with Christians you know and even with Christians you don’t know. This bond exists because of the truth’s work in you and others. If you have the truth and you know what it has done for you, then the when you see, meet, or even hear of others who have the same truth, you are bound to them in love. Our relationship with other believers, as with all aspects of our lives, should flow out of the gospel. God, in love and truth, has worked in our lives, and that should bind us, in truth and love, to others who know Him.
