“Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the
greatest of these is love.” (v.13)
The Bible challenges us to higher ground in loving others.
Here in 1 Corinthians 13, Paul describes what it means to live out God’s kind
of love. The person who exercises Godly love doesn’t do so for personal benefit
or gain but rather, “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things” (13:7).
Why? Because Godly love endures beyond life’s hurts
by pulling us relentlessly toward the never-diminishing care of the Father. Therefore, even in our struggles, we know that “His love
never fails” and nor should ours.
Lord, teach us the patience of unfailing love.
The Truth
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one
another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” (John 13:34)
