Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13-1 Scripture Insight
Scripture Insight By The Fresh Bread Ministry
We the (believer) can speak with great knowledge and importance, and sound so intellectual to mankind, however this does not impress or matter to GOD.
Without charity (love) from the heart, it would be better if we just kept our mouths shut; it profits us nothing with GOD. Without a heart of charity that is pure and genuine, it matters not if we possess the spiritual gift of Prophecy, Tongues, Wisdom, Interpretation or any other Spiritual blessing of GOD, without true charity (Love), it will profit us nothing with GOD.
We can have the most successful foodbank, provide shelter for the homeless, donate large quantities of money to charitable events, the word is crystal clear, without true charity (love) which comes from a heart that belongs to GOD, and these things are done in vain glory.
Love does not rejoice in sin, but in the truth, it endures all things life has to offer us, and never fails to overcome them. Charity does not boast itself, nor provokes others through evil deeds, it seeks only the best in all situations, believing there is always a better way.
When we receive and accept Christ Jesus (He who is perfect) as our Lord and Savior, that is when spiritual maturity begins. We will began to speak no more as little children, and we will than begin to cast away our childish behavior and way of life, and start to live the mature Christian adult life in the presence of GOD and before man.
As believers we have been instructed to abide in the greatest of the three Faith, Hope, and Charity. We must embrace and abide in Charity (Love); for GOD sees all and knows all, and face to face our actions are known to Him.
“Without Charity (Love) We Are Nothing”
