THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE Over The course of the next few weeks I want use this space to delve into the great topic of love from several different angles. It is my prayer that the coming articles will encourage and challenge all of us. The apostle Paul made clear the absolute necessity of loving God when he said, If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, Maranatha (I Cor. 16:22). Paul makes here clear that no man who does not love will be saved. Without love, even great things (that is, things which with love are very great) are actually worthless. Paul made clear that without love great oratorical ability, spiritual gifts which can result in great deeds, and tremendously sacrificial acts of benevolence, without love profits nothing (I Cor. 13:1-3). 1. No One Can Become A Christian Without Love. 2. No One Can Live a Faithful Christian Life Without Loving Both The Lord And His Own Brethren In Christ. 3. No One Can Slip By On Their Own Goodness Going Through Life Without Love For Man Or God. Let each of us remember, in these days of so much rebellion against God, not only will all murderers, liars, unbelievers, sorcerer, et al. be lost (Rev. 21:8) but also every child of God who hates his brother will share the same fate. It is the prayer of this writer that every brother will carefully weigh this truth. Nothing is important enough to warrant ones going through life with hatred for his brother in his heart. Love is necessary. See ya Sunday, Ralph
