February 21: God’s Love Never Fails 

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

The Greatest Gift

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Note: in verse 3, it says "and though I give my body to be burned" makes me wonder if they are talking about cremation.  If you know the answer, please share.

4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  (Note: I believe that these are attributes/characteristics of Jesus Christ).

8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part.  (Note: this last statement is to show that man does not know everything). 10But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.  

Note: "that which is perfect" is referring to Jesus.  And I keep ignoring the second half of that sentence, for days now, and it won't go away.  I am going to put it all together here, with the help of the Holy Spirit💯: "But when that which is perfect (Jesus) has come (to you, to a situation, to a condition, to a place, to a family, to a relationship, to anything, etc.), then that which is in part (that which is incomplete) will be done away (will no longer be incomplete).  Praise the Lord Almighty!  This is when that Christian, that believer, THAT WHATEVER: situation, condition, etc.,  becomes this: Colossians 2:10 "And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (these guys are bad guys, they are the ones that make life difficult for humans.  Praise the Lord, thank You Yeshua/Jesus/Isa.  Hallelujah!  So we must invite Jesus Christ into everything, including and especially that which is incomplete.

11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. . 12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

1 Corinthians 13:8

Charity (Note: Love) never faileth.

Pastor Andrew Wommack teaches on "God's Love Never Fails"

How could Paul say this? In his day hatred, selfishness, oppression, and many other evils prevailed as much or more than today. Paul experienced the sting of persecution and had administered it to others before his conversion. Certainly, he had heard of the Christians who were burned at the stake and thrown to the lions by the Romans. In A.D. 70 the Romans completely destroyed Jerusalem, plundering everyone and everything in the city. Would Paul have changed what he wrote if these things had taken place before this letter to the Corinthians? Certainly not!

God is love (1 John 4:8 "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love".), and He never fails. In our single frame view, it may appear that God doesn’t always prevail, but that’s not so. For example, take the persecution of the Christians in Paul’s day. The 20/20 view of history shows us that many Romans embraced Christ and jumped into the theatre to die with the Christians who were being martyred. Christianity spread at a phenomenal rate under Roman persecution. In less than thirty years the Roman world was evangelized. In just three hundred years, the seemingly undefeatable Roman Empire was conquered by God’s love, and Christianity became the official religion.

God never fails, and His love never fails. Individuals may fail to respond to His love and thus bear the consequences, but love never fails. It will always prevail in the end. We just need to give it time. We need to walk in all its attributes of contentment, patience, endurance, rejoicing in truth, believing all things-The Lord doesn’t force everyone and everything into compliance because it isn’t time for that yet. Now is the time of mercy, when the Lord is longsuffering and gives everyone ample opportunity to repent (2 Peter 3:9,10 " 9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The Day of the Lord

(Zephaniah 1:7-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up". .)   As we act in love, we use the strongest force in the universe. History has proven the power of love. If we just believe and exercise patience, love will never fail us.  (Note: Amen and amen!!!)
