Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:48a
First Corinthians 13 is one of the most beautiful, inspiring, and relevant passages in the New Testament. Its relevance lies in the very importance of relationships in our lives. God created us to be relational beings. Relationships are not optional. They are central to what it means to be human. We inevitably relate to God, nature, and each other. Love is what makes relationships possible. Love binds people in relationships.
However, we are broken people. Sin has affected our relationships. They are not what they should be: there is distrust, pain, anger, misunderstanding, fear, isolation, and abuse. We are afraid of being hurtso much so, that we hardly let anyone, including God, see us with our guard down. Fear has kept us from true intimacy and from deep, satisfying relationships.
Maria Bobrova
How, then, can we feel safe to open our hearts and let others see who we are? The Apostle Paul shows us the most excellent way to feel safe to open our hearts to others, and to be safe for others to open their hearts to us. The love that Paul describes fosters intimacy, openness, security, comfort, growth, and support. It is a love that is applicable to all areas of our lives: from spouses and children, to people inside and outside the church, to people we meet unexpectedly, accidentally, or temporarily in our daily activities. We are safe because God has shown this love to us through Christ, and the Spirit pours it in our hearts daily. He fills us with all the love we need. It is a love that drives out fear (1 John 4:18).
The beautiful words about love occur in the context of Pauls teachings about spiritual gifts. God gives spiritual gifts to his people for the benefit of the whole church. The Apostle shows the most excellent way (1 Cor. 12:31). That is, when Gods people exercise their spiritual gifts in the context of love, they work the way God intends them.
