Follow Charity (Love)
1. Pursue love -
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love God -
Love Others - James calls it the Royal Law -
Desire Spiritual Gifts
Desire the best gifts -
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Neglect not the gift
Stir up the gift
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
What is the purpose of the Gifts?
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1 Cor.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
Especially Prophesy

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
