Feel The Rebuke

1 Corinthians 13 is a very well known chapter. It’s simply and popularly known as the love chapter. But did you know that it was written as a rebuke. The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to correct the unloving behavior of the Corinthian believers. And if you study this chapter carefully you too will feel its rebuke.

For example, in this chapter we are told that love does not act unbecomingly. In other words, love doesn’t act ugly. Love is not rude.

Unbecoming behavior doesn’t care enough about others to act politely or appropriately.

Unbecoming behavior can be seen in how we talk and in such things as whether we show up on time or dress appropriately.

Love is always gracious and considerate not unbecoming.

So, you can see how convicting it can be to think carefully about what this chapter says.

At Believers Fellowship we want to know what God’s Word says so we can grow. Join us Sunday. All our information is online at believers-fellowship.org.
