Love is always right
Being right, or in the right, may seem to us at times to be the greatest virtue. However, this conviction can be attended by the expression of human opinions, pride, bigotry, intolerance, and even hatred toward those we consider to be wrong. The end result is not really the expression of righteousness, but a perversion of it.
The Bible states: “If ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy” (James 3:14–17).
