Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Outline:

Considering the Difference Between a Life of Love and a Life of Performance

1 Cor. 13:1-3

1. Extraordinary gifts are given to the godly and ungodly alike (Matt. 7:22, 23; 10:1-8).

2. Extraordinary gifts are privileges not securities.

3. Extraordinary gifts may be used against us in judgment but not love (Heb. 6:4-8).

Recognizing Vital Dependency

1. Recognize Christian love comes to us by grace alone (Rom. 5:5, 8).

2. Recognize we need God’s loving family for loving well (Eph. 4:15, 16).

3. Recognize we need the word of God and prayer for loving well (John 15:7-12).
