Radical but Real

The old song says, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love.” Unfortunately the love that the world talks about is feeling that you can fall in and out of. The Bible defines love in terms of actions.

In 1 Corinthians 13 we are given a definition of love. Our translations might not clearly represent this, but in the original language of the New Testament, love is defined here with verbs. Love is described in terms of actions.

For example, we are told that love does not take into account a wrong suffered. This is an accounting term. This speaks of keeping a record and checking the record to see what is owed.
What we’re being told is that love does not store up the memory of wrongs received. Love does not hold a grudge. Love is not resentful towards those who have wronged you.

This is a radical but real kind of love.
