Love is Patient

In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, we are given fifteen descriptions of love. It is important to note that each one is a verb. Biblical love is not so much a feeling as it is an action.

To look at this description is humbling. It makes you realize how unloving we can be. But this is meant to correct and help us. Those who love Christ want to learn to love as He tells us to.

The first description is that love is patient. This is talking about being patient with people. It is taking offenses and injuries without a desire for revenge.

Love is patient when people interrupt you, when they don’t respect you or appreciate you. Love is patient when you are mistreated by others.

Love suffers the wrongs of others without revenge. Love is patient.

At Believers Fellowship we want to learn to love like this. We want to develop true Christ-like humility.
