Love, 1 Corinthians 13

Section III, overview: The glory of Jesus Christ, in an applicable sense, is His character: it is who He is. The beholding of and pursuit of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ ought to be the Christian man’s chief enjoyment and focus. It is through this vital act that we are conformed and transformed into His glorious image; through this overriding passion our lives are transformed and the image of Jesus which we reflect becomes clearer. Our lives are given purpose, strength, peace, hope, love, and all other good things when we fixedly place our gaze on our King, Shepherd, Groom, Mediator, and Savior – Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life is the ultimate blueprint for any man’s life. His glorious character far outshines every single person ever to live, and so we will look at His character, His glory, and find therein great and vital instruction for our lives, as well as magnificent encouragement.
Without love we are nothing and can do nothing profitable. Though we may say and act, yet without love these things are worthless. Therefore love is of the upmost importance, and it is crucial that we have love in all things that we do and say.
