We all have a tendency to be GRACE oriented or TRUTH oriented.
When it comes to grace and truth, "or" is not an option for us - it's not grace or truth, but grace and truth.
The Christian life can best be summarized by living with a TRUTH & GRACE balance.
John 4:1-30 NASB1995
BIG IDEA:
Grace and Truth balance is essential for gospel transformation.
Grace and Truth breaks barriers for the sake of the gospel.
Full of grace and full of truth, Jesus broke the barriers that existed between Jews and Samaritans
Jesus did not pursue the path of argument in the conversation.
Grace and Truth facilitate seeing people for who they really are.
We need truth. We need grace. We need Jesus.
In light of the story of Jesus and the woman at the well, how do we engage with other people with Grace and Truth?
1. Show people that we care about them.
2. Discover the truth to lead people into truth.
3. Always seek to speak the truth in love and humility.
Grace and Truth balance is essential for gospel transformation.
