Abstract

God’s truth is not at odds with love. 1 Corinthians 13:6 tells us that love rejoices in the truth. Most people would say that truths about God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness are loving. But they do not always understand that God’s commands summaries what love is. The knowledge of the truth and love is indispensable to the Christian faith. As it were, the Christian faith is not just a function of an intellectual assent to some set of doctrines about particular religious beliefs. Instead, it is a personal encounter with God, who is truthful and loving. In Jesus, we have the full manifestation of God. Jesus Christ, as God, is truth and love personified in this wise. Thus, the Christian faith becomes that personal conviction of an intimate encounter with Jesus Christ, himself, the truth and love of God. In this article, we shall explain the concepts of truth and love. In doing this, the concept of knowledge, the hermeneutics of truth- the logical truth and the revealed truth; the hermeneutics of love, love as a theological virtue, and the Christian faith as knowledge of the truth and love shall be considered.

基督教信仰是对真理的认识和爱

上帝的真理与爱并不矛盾。哥林多前书 13：6 告诉我们，爱以真理为乐。大多数人会说，关于上帝的爱、怜悯和宽恕的真理就是爱。但他们并不总是明白，上帝的命令概括了什么是爱。对真理和爱的认识是基督教信仰不可或缺的。因此，基督徒的信仰并不仅仅是对某些特定宗教信仰教义的理智认同。相反，它是与上帝的个人相遇，上帝是真理和慈爱的。在耶稣身上，我们看到了上帝的完全显现。耶稣基督作为上帝，是真理和爱的化身。因此，基督教信仰就是与耶稣基督--上帝的真理和爱--亲密接触的个人信念。在本文中，我们将解释真理和爱的概念。在此过程中，我们将考虑知识的概念、真理的诠释学--逻辑真理和启示真理；爱的诠释学、作为神学美德的爱，以及作为真理和爱的知识的基督教信仰。
