Introduction
Why share on this?
Reason 1 We are part of a society that that has more focus on self than on God and his ways and as a result, God’s laws are ignored.
Lastly, it is part of this year’s theme verse
Be on guard.
Stand firm in the faith.
Be courageous.
Be strong.
And do everything in love.
We are part of a society that that has more focus on self than on God and his ways.

-to breathe on gently to cool -example, blow on a hot drink, or a baby with a fever
blow on a hot drink, or a baby with a fever
Reason 2 It is good to take time to meditate on the most important subject of the whole Bible, the most important subject of our life, the most important subject in the universe -past, present and future.
Reason 3 Lastly, it is part of this year’s theme verse
Be on guard.
Stand firm in the faith.
Be courageous.
Be strong.
And do everything in love.
There are 3 sections to 1 Cor.

1.
The Importance of Love
Why do we do what we do when we do it?
The answer to this question makes all the difference
Are we very gifted in speaking?
Maybe you can speak in tongues just like Paul mentioned 2 verses earlier.
Pro
sounding brass or noisy gong AND the tinkling or clanging cymbal

OR https://youtu.be/uU4Yerm4rHc
We will be like this to God and to others, if the motive isn’t love
Verse 2 We can have the highest spiritual gifts (prophecy, words of knowledge, & the gift of faith) but without love we are nothing
Verse 3 We can give everything away, even our life, but without love, we gain nothing
2. The Definition of Love
1 cor 13:4-7
Paul makes an assumption here -he assumes that we acknowledge truth as coming from God
Secular culture wants to redefine truth according to its values if this is done, it results in a corrupt version of love
The same thing was happening in the time of Isaiah
Verse 7 should have some explanation
Beareth all things -Beareth has the idea of covering with silence, as in enduring patiently
Like a parent who is patiently teaching their child to walk or read or ride a bike
believeth all things
Believeth all things, -to have faith in
believes all things that are to be believed -all the truths and promises of God -all the things that God is doing and wants to do in someone’s life
Hopeth all things, -to have an expectation -expect God’s will to be done
Endureth all things -the things that are hard in life, knowing that we will be rewarded in the end if we finish well.
It isn’t about starting well, we are rewarded according to our faithfullness
These 4 verses are a definition or description of God
We can see this in the book of 1 John -several times he says that God is love
Read these verse with God’s name inserted
is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

7 God bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things
God is the ultimate definition of love!
Let’s take this one more step: If you have the Spirit of God living within you, then your spirit man is perfect
2 Peter 1
Paul makes an assumption in this passage.
He assumes that you know the type of love that he is talking about.
Emancipation Proclamation
Abraham declared all slaves to be freed in specific states
In the same way, Jesus declares us righteous (meaning we do what is right) if we accept him as our Savior and Lord
Let’s all say verse 4-7 together and put in our name where there is a blank
4 I, _____, am patient and kind; I do not envy or boast; I am not arrogant 5 or rude.
I do not insist on my own way; I am not irritable or resentful; 6 I do not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoice with the truth.
7 I, _____, bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things
Turn to you neighbor and say, “You are the definition of love.”
