  1. The Love of God

  2. 1Cr 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1Cr 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1Cr 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

  3. Vs 1 If I have beautiful speech Vs 2 If I have ALL prophecy, knowledge and faith. Vs 3 If I give all to feed the poor and am martyred. It is loud and obnoxious It helps no one It is worthless

  4. 1Cr 13:4 Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 1Cr 13:5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 1Cr 13:6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

  5. God has just finished saying that we are to have love but some of us need a definition. This definition defines love AND GOD! Vs 4 impatient, harsh, is jealous when others excel, look better…. It is about the comparison game. It’s all about me and my world And is arrogant, boastful, proud

  6. Vs 5 is rude, loves to hear itself speak. Concerned with only itself. Easily brought into an angry attitude. Is looking for ways to trick, trip and confuse you. Vs 6 takes great pleasure when others are hurting, getting theirs, or paybacks.

  7. 1Cr 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1Cr 13:8 Love never fails. But whether [there are] prophecies, they will fail; whether [there are] tongues, they will cease; whether [there is] knowledge, it will vanish away. 1Cr 13:9For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

  8. Vs 7 leaves at the first sign of imperfection or difficulty. Is very negative in it’s outlook many times couched with “I’m just a realist”. Does not stay with you, rejects you. Vs 8 will fail/leave/reject you if…

  9. 1Cr 13:10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 1Cr 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1Cr 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

  10. 1Cr 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these [is] love. Questions/comments?
