Faith works by Love: 1 Corinthians 13

If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:2 (MSG)

Dear Ones: The plain language of the Message Bible reveals the need for faith to work by and through love to accomplish Kingdom business in our lives. The Jewish leaders in Christ’s day had faith in their religious ceremonies and rules. But when they came face to face with the Son of God, they would not receive HIM. They did not want to give up their rules because that is how they lauded themselves over the people. Love that we show to the brethren is how the world will know that we belong to Christ. Consider these things as you go about your day. Respond in love to the unlovely words of those around you and you will have HIS peace guard your hearts.

May the Love of Christ capture your heart today. May your Faith in HIM be ignited as HIS Love burns in you and pours forth out of you. May you have a lovely day in the LORD. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
