1Co 13:1-7
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) What are we like when we speak with angelic tongues but do not have charity (love)? (v.1)
2) What are we if we have the gifts of prophecy, divine knowledge and faith, but do not have charity (love)? (v.2)
3) What do we gain if we give all we have to the poor, or give our bodies to be burned, but do not have charity (love)? (v.4)
4) What are some of the attributes of divine charity (love)? (v.4-7)
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
5) Has the Lord blessed you with any of the spiritual gifts addressed in this Scripture? If so, which please list your spiritual gifts.
6) How do you know if you have the spiritual fruit of charity (love)?
7) Have you ever manifested that spiritual fruit to other people? If so, please describe one such instance.
PRINCIPLES
8) All that we do for Christ is in vain if not done in the spirit of love.
9) God is love and His children should love as He does.
10) The proof of our love is not what we do for Christ, but who He is through us.
