We love without hypocrisy by abhorring what is evil and clinging to what is good. The Ten Commandments define evil. Lying, adultery, murder, rape, etc. are evil. The Ten Commandments also define the good. “The commandment is holy and righteous and good” (Romans 7:12). Telling the truth, fidelity in marriage, and preserving life are good. If you add up the Ten Commandments, the sum is love. “For this, ‘You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,’ and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Romans 13:9).

In addition, we love without hypocrisy when heart and head are hooked together. Convictions expressed with the mouth are backed up with heartfelt actions. When we encounter lying or adultery or murder, we bristle in horror. We cling to truth and life and faithfulness in marriage like a new bride and new groom cling to each other.

Think about it. A whole college class without a single divorce after fifty years. What a testimony to love without hypocrisy.

To help you understand this love better, listen to an audio message called, “Inclined to Love.”
