Love Needs an Education

Paul prays that our love as Christians will abound in "real knowledge and all discernment." The Apostle knows that love needs an education before it will actually approve what is excellent.

"Love" can inadvertently approve what is evil; it happens all the time, e.g., Christian parents of homosexuals who think loving their child means full acceptance of - even celebration of - their sinful behavior. Only “real knowledge and discernment” will protect us from having our personal feelings distort our moral judgments. Even emotions like love should be theologically informed. Paul makes it clear elsewhere that it’s actually a lack of love to rejoice in what is unrighteous (1 Corinthians 13:6).

2 Timothy 4:3-5

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
