THE CHARACTER OF LOVE 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (Part Two)

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34-35

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 1 John 3:14

1)Love lifts 2)Love lives for something more than itself

A)Never resent the blessings others enjoy.

…for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God… Exodus 34:14

B)Never get over being loved.

But the real lover cannot ever get over the wonder that he is loved. Love is kept humble by the consciousness that it can never offer its loved one a gift which is good enough. William Barclay

C)Never be impressed with your own importance. D)Behave yourself.

Love does not behave gracelessly. William Barclay

E)Be more concerned with the responsibilities of love than the privileges.
