Love is Selfless

1 Corinthians 13 teaches us what real love looks like. We are told that love is patient, love is kind and love is not jealous.

We are also told that love does not brag. Love does not talk conceitedly. Bragging is having an excessive appreciation of one’s own worth. It is a building up of self while knocking down others. Bragging is self-glorification.

Love does not brag. Love builds up others. It is impossible to boast about yourself and love at the same time.

Along with this, 1 Corinthians 13 tells us that love is not arrogant. Arrogance is an inflated selfishness. Arrogance breeds contention. And, as you might know, you can’t tell an arrogant person anything. God hates arrogance. Love is not arrogant.

Christ said that His disciples would be known for their love for one another. At Believers Fellowship we want to prove our love for Christ by loving others.

Feel free to join us this Sunday or call us anytime. Our information is online at believers-fellowship.org.
