True Love Does Not Dishonour God

In Acts 5, we meet Ananias and Sapphira, a couple who wanted to look generous before others. They sold some land and agreed to pretend they were giving all the money to God, even though they secretly kept some for themselves. They thought no one would know, but God did, and their lie cost them their lives.

Their story teaches us something important: true love never leads us to do wrong. When we truly love someone, we help each other do what pleases God, not what hides the truth. Ananias and Sapphira stood together, but they stood together in sin. That is not the kind of unity God blesses.

If you are single, don’t let your feelings for someone push you into choices that dishonor God. The right person will help you grow closer to Him, not away from Him.

If you are married, remember that love means helping each other live honestly and faithfully. A home built on lies cannot stand strong.

True love doesn’t cover sin. It leads us toward the truth. When love is built on God’s truth, it becomes something pure, strong, and lasting. That’s the kind of love God wants for all of us.

Selah.
