Love is possibly one of the most overused words in our language each day. We use the same word in the phrase “I love cheeseburgers” with the same word we say “I love you” to a person. Episode 22 will discuss love as one of the 7 Ironclad Christian Characteristics. Let us first begin by understanding that the Bible is written in two languages, Hebrew and Greek. Love usage in these two languages varies and has multiple words for the one word we use each day.

The Bible is clear that our lives should be characterized by the spirit giving fruit of love. If we are going to reach the world and tell them about who Jesus Christ is, we must let the lost see this spirit in us. Paul, the apostle, usually dictated to someone to write his letters, and 1 Corinthians 13 is written in a much different rhythm. Let us look at 1 Corinthians 13 to understand better how we are to love as Christians.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Galatians 5:22, John 15:13, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 12:41-44
