What Do You Rejoice In?

In 1 Corinthians 13 the Apostle Paul corrects the unloving actions of the Corinthian believers by giving them a definition of real love. In this chapter, Paul tells the believers what love does and what it does not do.

For example, love does not rejoice in unrighteousness. That is contrary to our culture which seems to glory in so much sin. Love mourns over sin because it knows the damage that sin creates.

One way that love does not rejoice in unrighteousness is by not accepting or passing on gossip.

We are also told that love rejoices in the truth. Love is glad when truth prevails. Love doesn’t beat others over the head with the truth, but love rejoices when others receive the truth and walk in it.

Love is able to draw the line between what is unrighteous and what is true.

At Believers Fellowship we want to learn to rejoice in the right things.
