Scripture verse of the day first Corinthians 14:1
let love be your greatest aim: nevertheless, also asked for the special abilities the Holy Spirit gives especially the gift of prophecy, being able to preach the messages of God.
Scripture reading of the day from the living Bible first Corinthians 13
if I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would simply be making a noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything I have to the poor people, and I were burned alive for preaching the gospel, but didn’t love others, it would be of no value whatever.
Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irriatable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth winds its way. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground and defending him.
All the special gifts and powers from God will some day come to an end, but love goes on for ever. Someday prophecy, and speaking in unknown languages, and special knowledge — these gifts will disappear.
Now we know so little, even with our special gifts, and the inspired preaching of those most gifted is still so poor. But when we have made her perfect and complete, then the need for these inadequate special gifts will come to an end, and they will disappear.
It’s like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I became a man my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away childish things.
In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at his reflection in the poor Mirror; but someday we are going to see him in his completeness, face to face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees in the my heart right now.
There are three things that remain — faith, hope and love — and the greatest of these is love.
Sam’s response
The above Scriptures probably one of the most famous Scriptures in the Bible as it is used to just about every wedding There is.
The last line of Scripture In Corinthians 13 states that Their are three things that we are to have and remain in us.Faith,Hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love.
As a Christian and a person who is Working on becoming more like Christ there is no question that love is the overriding factor of all Scripture.To become more Christ like means to become more loving. Jesus would’ve never accomplished what he did without the love that he has for the father and for his people. God made the ultimate sacrifice for us based on love.He gave up his only son because he loved us so much.
It also says in the Bible that love conquers all. Do you believe that?
Sometimes we forget how much God really loves us, and when we forget it tends to rub off on how our love is displayed to others as well. If we are to be effective Christians and were going to have to be people who are loving others no matter what is going on around us. We must be people who stand above the noise of this world and the sin of this world and display love above all.
A major part of God’s plan is love. If we are to be part of God’s plan and we need to be people who love others as well. It’s easy to love somebody that is like us, but it is more difficult to love ones that annoy us irritate us.
People you love are going to disappoint you! What you do with it will be an indication of your love. Will you allow that love to overcome this injury towards yourself brought on by somebody else?
If we are to walk a path that is more Christ like and we need to allow this love to conquer all!
