The Spiritual

Gifts Without Value

In this passage Paul affirmed that Christians receive many wonderful gifts from the Spirit of God. Yet, he also insisted in the strongest terms that these gifts are without value unless they are coupled with the greatest gift—love. Love is the most excellent way in which the other gifts must be manifested.

PRINCIPLES

Unless motivated by love, spiritual service and gifts do not benefit the believer. • Love is eternal. • Spiritual gifts are temporary devices for ministering to the church until Christ returns.

APPLICATIONS

We must refocus our priorities, setting love of others as a higher standard than effective service, and as a higher standard than spiritual gifts. • Our love for others must be demonstrated in the way we treat them. • Our spiritual gifts should remind us that we await the perfect realization of the blessings of the gospel.
