Paul just taught how God has given different gifts to His people in the church
The purpose was to edify Jesus
The goal was to further Jesus among the church and the world
These were simply tools to be used
There’s a better way
A gift is a tool, but there’s a better way to use the tool
David - Strimming weeds
Trained him
Watched him do it
Inspected around the fence posts - weeds and tall grass still stuck high in the air
If hold the strimmer this way, watch what happens when you go after the grass
Same tool - a better way
Paul spoke of the tools God used - no let me show you a better way to use those tools
Charity - Agape - highest form of word usage in the greek
The word is not a self-gratifying type of “love”
Satisfy a desire at the cost of anyone or anything else
The word is not a fondness type of “love”
Ruffles Sour Cream & Cheddar - £20+ a bag
This word is deep, abiding love that moves one to action
Robert Murillo - Joy, his wife, helping and caring for her husband in illness
God describes this love like this:
The Father for the Son
John 17:26
God’s love for people
John 3:16
His love for His own
Jn 14:21
Perfectly cherished in the Lord Jesus
2 Cor 5:14
Eph 2:4
It is commanded
Jn 13:34
1 Jn 2:7-8
It seeks the welfare of others
Rom 15:2
It is Godlike and a part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the yielded life of the believer
Gal 5:22
It is a decision
Based on the will not emotions or feelings
It is costly
John 3:16
It demands the care and welfare of the loved one
Regardless whether the welfare involves hurting or healing - it always involves helping
Have you ever tried to value something?
Antique lock - because it has a certain symbol on it, it makes it’s value soar!
When one sees God’s love, with His finger on it, the value soars!
I remember when I wanted to sell a baseball card.
I looked it up in a price guide and saw that it was worth $20.
Brought to a sports shop that bought and sold baseball cards - he looked at it and offered me $5.
I was devastated!
I had my hopes on using that money for something else, but the value that that shop owner placed upon it was not what I desired.
Without the decisive love of God, gifts become empty, of little or no value.
Arithmetic - multiply by 0 = 0
Love is the multiplier that brings value to the gift
Communication without love
Speak different tongues
1 Cor 13:1
Though - is in the subjunctive mood - IF
Truth to hurt someone intentionally instead of seeking the welfare
Eph 4:15
I have to translate this - here it is
Spanish church - most from Mexico - they like to get involved into what they say
Translator who was interpreting for me with enthusiasm - almost made me want to say, here’s my outline, I’ll sit down and just watch you preach!
Even if I spoke the language of the angels
Without love the interpretation lost it’s value
Banging gong or clanging symbol
“Tongues,” without love, become a mere discordant, obtrusive, and annoying noise, almost entirely without significance.
See and speak divine truth
1 Cor 13:2
The gift of seeing God’s truth and relaying to others is of no value when there is no love
Balaam
Num 22:1-13
Num 23:5-12
Balaam had no love for the children of Israel
Num 31:16
Mat 7:22-23
Comprehension without love
Understanding and knowledge
1 Cor 13:2
Understand all mysteries
the ability to put things together from Scripture that we don’t fully see yet
In the OT - Zacharias - knew the Scripture and understood that God was to let him see the Saviour, Jesus Christ
All knowledge
Know the Bible
There are some that know the Bible and can quote it like few else can, but there is no love with it
Faith
Miracle-working faith, has absolute confidence in God and being in God’s will, and sees God remove the obstacle from the path
Judas Iscariot
Matt 10:1-8
Judas saw God work through faith, but there was no love
Corrie Ten Boom - A Nazi prison guard who slowly and cruelly put her sister to death
Offered his hand in forgiveness
She stood there paralysed for a moment, but then the love of Christ moved her heart
Jesus had forgiven her - she can also forgive
She had never felt the love of God so powerfully as at that moment
Compassion without love
Human
1 Cor 13:3
To give away mouthful by mouthful
Feed by putting little bits into the mouth
