Love: The Heart of Christian Life
13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Love: The Heart of Christian Life
Paul reminds us that no matter the spiritual gifts we possess, eloquent speech, deep knowledge, or even sacrificial actions, they are meaningless without love. Love is the essential virtue that gives value to all Christian action. This love is not a fleeting emotion, but the self-giving love of Christ reflected in our daily lives. As Christians, our works flow from faith, but they are empty without love. This passage reminds us that the Gospel calls us to love as Christ loved, sacrificially, unconditionally, and with a heart focused on the needs of others. Only in this love, grounded in the love of Christ, do our actions become fruitful for God's kingdom. Let us love, for we are first loved by God.
