Not Sure What To Call This
1Cor 13
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
I have read this chapter time and time again and i never realised what it meant till i heard angie read it @ youth group wed the other wed night. We can have all kinds of spiritual gifts like the gift of tongues and prophesy but if you have not love it is NOTHING, i guess it just really stuck out to me that if we have all these things and not love it is pointless. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Mark 12:31 says that we are to love our neighbor as our selves and that there is no greater commandment than that. John 15:13 says "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends". so the Bible says alot about love so i am guessing thatits really important.
