How Love Is Presented In Chapter 13 Of Corinthians

In Chapter 13 of Corinthians Paul talked about spiritual gifts. Then in Chapter 13, he continues to write and talk about love. After reading verses 4-7, my eyes were opened. I observed that Paul was saying, spiritual gifts, talents, and riches are all good. But, if it doesn’t show or have love it is considered worthless. That’s how important love is portrayed per Paul.

It helps us believers grow close to God and it strengthens our faith. I love the song One Thing Remains by Jesus Culture. The lyrics are so powerful.
