Charity more precious than Gold
I Corinthians 13: 1Though I speak with
the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And 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,
and have not charity, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow
all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be
burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Chapter 13 show how
love works. Love is more important than all the spiritual gifts exercised In
the church body. Great faith, acts of dedication or sacrifice, and
miracle-working power very little without love. Love makes our actions and
gifts useful. Although people have different gifts, love is available to
everyone.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is
not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in
the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
I Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for
charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Your love much be: Hot or burning; passionate; fervent
There is no Law with love
Galatians 5:22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, 23Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall
vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put
away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known.13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Be rooted and grounded in Love
Ephesians 3:17 That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love,
Faith and works are needed ingredients
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
dead?
The Lord is looking for all the ingredients for a prepared
vessel for the Lord
The church in Thyatira write (Thra Tie ra)
Revelation 2:19 know thy
works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works;
and the last to be more than the first.
