4. Better Love Endures

5. What love endures is miraculous gifts
“But” will fail and cease (13:8)
A time for no reason for prophecy or prophets
No place for the revelation that tongues bring
Miraculous gifts would not endure but love will
What love endures is miraculous gifts

6. What love endures is miraculous gifts
Love will never fail, cease, or vanish away
Miraculous gifts are done away and love has taken center stage
We are all called to love God, Truth, others, the church, and family
What love endures is miraculous gifts

7. What love endures is momentary gifts
Faith, Hope, and Love
All three are great but love is greater
Faith is necessary, we cannot please a God without it, and we trust in God
The spiritual gift of faith is momentary
We don’t need faith after death
What love endures is momentary gifts

8. What love endures is momentary gifts
Hope is great but love is greater
We hope for the coming of Jesus, bodily resurrection, everlasting life, and heaven
Hope is in the unseen
There will be no hope in the presence of God
What love endures is momentary gifts

9. Love is greater because it transcends this life. It endures forever
