1 Corinthians 13

Paul turned his attention to love and said that whatever we do is nothing if we don't do it out of love. He listed some attributes of love, like patience and kindness; love does not seek its own agenda or keep a list of wrongs done by others. All the spiritual gifts from the previous chapter will end one day, but love will last forever. It is important to have faith, hope, and love, but love is the most important.

God is love, so it is no surprise that He wants us to love Him and love one another. Love needs to be at the core of everything we do. Without love we cannot please God. When we exhibit the characteristics of love, God shines through us and is glorified.
