Scripture Reading – God’s Living Word - 1 Corinthians 13:11-13, NLT

Love is the Greatest Gift

11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Commentary

Why is love the greatest of these? When Christ makes all things new and His followers are ushered into the eternal state, faith will no longer be necessary because the redeemed will see Him face to face. Hope will no longerbe necessary because their hope will have been perfectly realized. But love will remain, and it will finally be known without the taint of sin. (Commentary taken from The Jeremiah Study Bible, NIV © 2011)

May the reading of God’s Living Word touch your heart and carry you through your day. Amen!
