Love Is The Core Measure
- Love is not primarily a feeling but a defining action and mark of spiritual maturity.
- Even strong leadership and spiritual gifts mean nothing if they are not done in love.
Gifts Without Love Are Empty
- Without love, great gifts, knowledge, faith, or sacrifice gain nothing according to Paul.
- Success in position, fame, or possessions is meaningless without love at the center.
Measure Love By Actions Not Feelings
- Do evaluate yourself against Paul's definitions rather than your feelings about love.
- Hold the Bible up as a mirror and ask if you are patient and kind in relationships.
