What does it really mean to love your enemies—and does it require compromising truth?

 

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing tackles one of Jesus’ hardest commands in Matthew 5:44 and addresses a tension many Christians feel today: how do you stand firm in sound doctrine while still loving those who oppose you?

 

Drawing from passages like Romans 12, 2 Timothy 2, and 1 Corinthians 13, this episode shows that biblical love is not sentimental, passive, or indifferent to truth. Instead, it is rooted in truth, expressed with grace, and aimed at the good of others—even your enemies.

 

If you care about theology, apologetics, and defending the faith, this conversation is essential. Because the goal is not just to win arguments—but to win people.

 

Take heart—Christ has loved you this way first.
