True Compassion

Sometimes in our efforts to teach God's way we focus only on how bad sin is, neglecting elements of hope and forgiveness. While we want to be honest about what sin is, the Bible clearly tells us that we must speak the truth in love. We need to emphasize that even if someone feels hopeless in their sins, there's always a path back. Let's look into God's Word to try to gain a better understanding of how to help people by showing true compassion.
