There is a better way to live
Than by knowledge or prophecy.
Loving with a generous heart
Is the way we ought to be.
In every way Love brings glory
To the One in whom we live.
He gave his only Son for us
That we may in Love forgive.
God's Love confirms our faith.
Our Love holds that he is true.
Our faith works by Love.
His Love leads all we do
I am your Lord, your Seal, and your Love.
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.”
I Corinthians 12:27-31 NKJV
“Love 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. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.”
I Corinthians 13:8-10 NKJV
We are to come to a place of maturity where we live in Christ, the expressed love of God. God's love is everlasting.
It is purpose of Love to give God's abundant life. A loving nature is the fruit of the Spirit.
It is the better way of 1 Cor. 13.
