Topic:Love The Greatest Gift

Text :1 Corinthians 13:13

•Hope, Faith and Love are all Christian virtues. Every child of God must possess all, but love is the greatest.

•Hope (something you expect to happen), is also powerful, no doubt - 1 John 3:1-3

•A man who has Hope will purify himself, waiting on Jesus - Romans 5:1-5

•The day you lose Hope, that's the end, but the Bible says “Love is the greatest”.

•Faith is also very powerful, because without it, it is impossible to please God - Hebrews 11:6

•Yet Love is still the greatest of all and there has to be a reason.

•Until you're dead to self, Love is not operational in your life. Love enables you to conquer self.

•A man of faith but not working in love, is promoting self - 1 Corinthians 13:1-2

•The sign of spiritual maturity is you walking in love. It’s not about you manifesting miracles.

•When you walk in love, you don't offend and you don't get offended - Proverbs 19:11, 17:9

•A man who has power and authority but chooses not to misuse it, is a great man walking in love - Matthew 26:51-54, John 18:35,

•When you refuse to be offended by someone's action, you're a blessed man - Matthew 11:1-6

•It's a certainty that offense will come, it's what you do when it comes that matters - Romans 14:4, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

•Walking in love helps you to conquer bitterness, pride, envy, eventful heart strife, contentions, anger. And all these are kept by the devil, just to bring the believer down.

•Don't rebuke anyone with bitterness - 2 Corinthians 16:14
