Graceless Truth
"Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart." (1 Peter 1:22 NKJV) The power of purity in the truth is not in its declaration; truth works purity with obedience. The declaration of the truth, without the willingness to obey, can be thorny and controversial. However, the garbage of unrighteousness falls off fast from the mind with every commitment to the truth. A graceless truth can boast of its understanding, it does no good to neither others nor the bearer. Unlike graceless truth, saving truth boasts only in the grace of God and a commitment to brethren' love.
