THE GREATEST CHARACTERISTIC OF A CHRISTIAN LIFE
Jesse M. Hendley
I Corinthians 13
One of the characteristics of the Christian life is
LOVE. We do not mean something sentimental. This is
the love of a Christian for GOD and CHRIST and the
SOULS OF MEN. I pray that the Lord will speak to all
our hearts as we read now from First Corinthians 13.
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and
have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal. And although I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all knowledge; and though I
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and
have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body
to be burned, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth
long and is kind; love envieth not. Love vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up; doth not behave itself
unseemly; seeketh not her own; is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness;
but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things,
believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things. Love never faileth: but whether there be
prophecies they shall fail; whether there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall
vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in
part. But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a
child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put
away childish things. For now we see through a glass,
darkly; but then face-to-face: now I know in part; but
then shall I know even as I am known. And now abideth
faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest
of these is love."
The characteristic of the Christian life is Love. Love
to God, love for Christians, and love for the lost
world. Wherever there is religion without love, that
religion is cold. It is withou ...
