The Way of Love - 1 Cor 13 - Brian L.

An individual can speak in any language as eloquent as he’d like to be. But if it not infused with love, it’s just white noise.

 

Intelligence minus love equals to ignorance.

 

Paul is saying it doesn’t matter you even self-sacrifice, if you are doing this in order to make people to see you as holy, instead of loving others, sorry, you still gain nothing.

 

People who are serving in ministries, we should pray to God that, help us to experience his grace thru serving, help us to love others thru what is assigned to us.

 

With Jesus our love for others no longer is out of our limitation, no longer out of our own strength, we don’t need to look inward, Instead we look to Christ.

 

We need to response in repentance, meaning turn away from our sins, and put our trust and faith in Jesus, then our identity is in Christ then we will be adopted into God’s family, as his children and we will inherit a place in the heaven.

 

We don’t love and care for others to expect personal gain, we won’t able to do right away, slowly but surely thru the power of Holy Spirit will help us to be more Christ like.

 

We don’t need to boost, we don’t need to impress others, nor we need to envy, at church we don’t need to proof your worth. We know we all are needy people that’s why we need God and each other.

 

We turn from focus onto myself to focus others, that’s how we grow.

 

Because we have hope in the future in mind, It should shape our everyday life differently.
