As you read Paul’s lyrical description of when Christians get it right, note the things love doesn’t do—the signs of getting it wrong. But even more, note the things that love does, because these are the qualities, inward and outward, that God’s Spirit will increasingly grow in our lives.
- In verses 4-7, we get a compact list of how love does and does not act. Which of the items listed do you value most from someone else? Which is the most challenging for you to offer to another person? How will you open your life to God’s influence, so that you can grow in these qualities?
- Verses 1-3 list many admirable, demanding things that a person could do. In what ways does the absence of love diminish and spoil even these positive actions? How, if at all, does accepting that “the greatest of these is love” alter the standards by which you judge greatness?
