Learning to Love

In 1 Corinthians 13 we are given an inspired description of love.

We are told that love is kind. So not only is love patient and does not take revenge when it is wronged but love seeks to actively bestow good on others, even enemies.

To love like this requires real spiritual strength. It is easy to fight back. Any proud, arrogant, carnal person can do that. It is hard to be kind. We need God’s help.

Not only are we to be kind, but we are not to be jealous. Love isn’t into any kind of rivalry. Love doesn’t respond with hostility when someone else is given an advantage. You see, love is not suspicious of others. Love desires what is best for others.

Jealousy is a problem because it always seems that somebody is getting it a little better than me. But, love is not jealous.

At Believers Fellowship we want to learn to love. Join us this Sunday. All our information is online at believers-fellowship.org.
