YOU HAVE NOTHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE...

                 YOU CAN HAVE GIFTS BUT WITHOUT LOVE YOU HAVE NOTHING.

I Corinthians 13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men (PAUL WAS BILINGUAL) and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

NOTHING WOULD WORK IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE IN YOUR HEART.

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 (NATIONS), and have no charity, I am nothing.

PAUL WAS A HEBREW SCHOLAR, VERY EDUCATED IN THE WORD, BUT IT WAS HIS LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT MADE HIM SUCH A GREAT TEACHER.

YOU WANT TO MAKE A STAND FOR CHRIST ; LOVE CAN DO THAT EVEN IF IT'S TOUGH LOVE.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU LOVE SOMEONE ENOUGH TO CORRECT HIM WHEN HE OR SHE TAKES THE WRONG PATH.

13:3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned (CREMATED), and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

IT'S NOT GOOD WITHOUT LOVE.

13:4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity envieth not (PRETENDS TO BE SOMETHING IT'S NOT) charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up (PRIDE),

13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly (IT'S NOT RUDE), seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ;

13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ;

IT REJOICES IN TRUTH AND IN JUSTICE.

BASED ON THE FOUNDATION WHICH IS CHRIST (CHRIST IS LOVE).

13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

THE TRUTH IS IN GOD'S WORD. WHEN YOU ABSORBED IT, IT GROWS OUT OF YOU.

YOU CAN HANDLE IT...NO PROVOCATION.

13:8  Charity never faileth (IT'S ALWAYS THERE) : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be tongues (THE LANGUAGE YOU ARE BORN WITH), they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

WHEN CHRIST RETURNS WE ARE ALL GOING TO SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW TODAY IT WILL DONE AWAY.

GOD BLESS
