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

I would like to greet all that come here in the wonderful name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. At the moment we are just starting out with this blog but hope to get it going strong. The Fellowship of Acts is an inter-denominational Bible study group whose goals are preparing the saints to be witnesses to all the world that they encounter.
