In the last verse of this chapter, Paul points out the three main attributes that all Christians should have.

He then emphasizes that love is the greater of the three qualities.

Paul wrote that love endures forever. In morally corrupt Corinth, love had become a mixed-up term with little meaning. Today, people are still confused by the meaning of love.

Paul basically explains how love is the greatest of human attributes and is an attribute of God himself. Love involves unselfish service to others.

Faith is the foundation and content of God’s message; hope is the attitude and focus; love is action. When hope and faith are inline, you are free to love completely because you understand how God loves.

We must ask ourselves this question as we are concluding this chapter. “Does our faith fully express itself in loving others.”

We must understand that Paul did not just write this chapter in order to elaborate on the components of perfect love, but he wrote so that we as Christians can check ourselves.

Is our faith in Jesus Christ leading us to love others just as Christ loved us?

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
