Love Study

Love

Matt. 22:37-40

Since Christ commands us to love it must be something we are able to choose to do. It is not a feeling we have little or no control over.

The Love Chapter, I Corinthians 13

First what love is not.

• Verse 1: A silver tongue. Can't talk your way in.

• Verse 2: IntelligenceCan't think your way in.

• Verse 3: Philanthropy and MartyrdomCan't buy your way in.

What love is: You decide. Verses 13:4-7

• Patient:
• Kind:
• Not jealous:
• Not boastful:
• Not Arrogant:
• Not self-seeking:
• Doesn't get provoked: easily is not in the Greek text, sorry.
• Love doesn't keep track of wrongs suffered:
• Doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness:
• Rejoices in truth:Bears all things:
• Believes all things: This doesn't mean love is gullible; instead it means it is not suspicious.
• Hopes:
• Endures:
• Verses 8-10 All else shall pass away.
• Verses 11-12 Maturity

Now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13
