1 Corinthians 13:1 - 14:19

1 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into the importance of love in 1 Corinthians 13:1-14:19, discussing how love is the key purpose for spiritual gifts and not self-aggrandizement. He notes the Greek word for love, agape, and how this selfless, godlike love is central to Christian theology. The chapter emphasizes that spiritual gifts are meant to serve others and edify the body of Christ, rather than being used for personal gain, and that love is the paramount virtue in the Christian life.
