2 Thessalonians 2:10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Truth, and the love of it, is something we receive, something we are given, if we accept it. But many fail in this aspect, and argue against it and dont believe it, and remain in the bondage of the adversary, the devil. We see that the “love of the truth” in 2 Thessalonians 2:10 KJV refers to a willing acceptance of it and also shows we must have a devotion to God’s truth, which is essential for salvation. We find many who claim they are seeking truth, but instead, when given it resist or with great vitriol contend against it. Paul tells us that there will be those who will perish because they refused to love the truth and thus be saved, so we need to pay attention on this. The phrase emphasizes active affection and commitment toward God’s truth, not merely intellectual acknowledgment.
The “truth” here refers to what is in Gods Word, the gospel of Jesus Christ and the reality of God’s righteousness, which brings salvation. The phrase emphasizes active affection and commitment toward God’s truth, not merely intellectual acknowledgment. To “love the truth” means to accept God’s Word sincerely and allow it to guide life decisions and aligning one’s heart with God’s revealed will. Those who do not love the truth are putting themselves in danger of perishing because they refuse the very means of salvation and are vulnerable to spiritual delusion. Truth we can know only because it has been revealed to us through the power of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit which Christ gives us.
