—1 John 4:7-16
by: Maryann Palmer.
1 Corinthians 13, the “Love Chapter,” tells us what love is. Today’s reading tells us that God is love. We can compose a partial list of God’s characteristics as follows: patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not proud, not rude, not self-seeking, not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs (i.e., doesn’t hold grudges), does not delight in evil, rejoices with the truth, protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres, never fails. In John 15:17, Jesus says, “This is my command: Love each other.” How good a job are we doing in treating fellow believers with this kind of love?
