1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT)
“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
God is love, and He’s our source of love. If we stay connected to God, we can never run out of love. If we don’t, we’ll be quick to run out of love. Our Bible text makes us realize that the most prominent thing we could do as believers is meaningless without love.
Love is the major fulcrum of our faith, and as believers we must constantly stay connected to God to continually fill our hearts with His love so that we can love the way He wants to love and the way He has bidden us to love. We should know that God is eternal, so is God’s love, and it can never fade. The good news is that when we stay constantly with God, we can never run out of love, and His love in us can never fade.
In the book of Corinthians 13, Apostle Paul listed a series of things that can fade: prophecy and even the best of knowledge of God’s word included, but love will not. We can come to the end of our knowledge, prophecies might seem not to come to pass, but love never fades; it stands true and firm through the test of time. The best we can do as believers is to love ourselves. When we come to the end of all things, the love of Christ in us will not end, and it doesn’t fade.
Confession: The love of Christ fades not in my heart; I live in this always.
