The Christians had become carnal, worldly, indulgent, selfish, contentious, vengeful, proud, and compromising. Almost everything that was characteristic of the society had been picked up by the church. Love is not a feeling or an emotion. It is a spirit of self-sacrifice. It is a willingness to met another's need - even if it means sacrificing something we need or possess.
Love never fails.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
