Tuesday — August 4: A More Excellent Way

Read Bible

• 1 Corinthians 13:1–13
• 1 Peter 4:8–11

Summary

• God wants you to use every spiritual gift with love because love gives every gift its true value and purpose.
• Without love, even great faith, knowledge, preaching, or other spiritual gifts cannot please God as they should.
• True love is shown by the way you treat others and not simply by the words you speak or the feelings you have.
• Love is patient, kind, truthful, forgiving, and willing to keep serving even when it is difficult.
• Love does not seek its own way, become proud, keep a record of wrongs, or find joy in sin.
• When love guides your words, actions, and spiritual gifts, you help others grow closer to Christ and strengthen His church.
• Ask God to fill your heart with His love so that everything you do will bring glory to Him and bless those around you.
