Verse 6:

it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.

               Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing.

                If God and Jesus did not consistently oppose wrongdoing, it might appear that they approved sin or wrongdoing.  They always opposed wrongdoing, but always in love (as we have seen in the above 5 verses).  In the Scriptures, God and Jesus never expressed any rejoicing over wrongdoing.  When you do wrong, do you think God rejoices?  No, God does not rejoice, because God is love.  God must show His anger, displeasure, and unhappiness with wrongdoing, but He does so with patience, that people might repent and cease from wrongdoing.

                Love rejoices in the truth.  Has God ever told a lie and snickered?  Did Jesus ever commend anyone for telling a lie?  No, love rejoices in the truth, and Jesus is the truth.   When you and I tell the truth or come to an understanding of the truth, God rejoices, because Love rejoices in the truth.  When we study the Bible or hear a sermon and learn new truths, God rejoices.  When we preach and teach the truth of God's word, God rejoices.  When we believe the truth and try to live consistently with the truth, God rejoices.  God rejoices in the truth, because God is love.
