1 Corinthians 13:1-13 The Excellent Way of Love We are called to put in the extra effort to excel in the area of love. PRIORITY OF LOVE Operate the spiritual gifts with love; without it, the gifts can become annoying. All the sacrifices we make for the sake of the gospel hold no value before God if they are done without love. PORTRAIT OF LOVE Love is more than just an emotion; it is an action. God has set a high standard of love before us, calling us to excel in our spiritual journey. PERMANENCE OF LOVE When we exercise spiritual gifts with love, the results will be seen in eternity.
