LOVE: An Essential Ingredient

In the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 The Apostle Paul talks how we cannot live life right without love. This poem tries to mirror this Biblical principle.


Poem Artwork

We could all speak great Spanish, English, French and Japanese.

But if we did not love one another we would sound like a noisy gong.

We could have all the faith and knowledge that God has in the world.

Still if we did not love one another we would not be able to see right from wrong.

We could give all that we have to the poor and lay down our life.

But if did not love one another our sacrifice would mean nothing; such a sad song.

To love one another is what is what the Bible tells us to do.

When we listen to God His Heavenly Love Light will shine on me and you.

Amen

Reference: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

 

 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.

Well said, John. It's amazing how the team of "love" permeates the Bible! The three letters of the Apostle John stresses the same. We love because God IS love; and because He lives in us, we are able to love even the unlovable.
Yours is a powerful message from God and what He expects from us. Thank you most sincerely.

Jesus preached the same logic at The Sermen On The Mountain. This was another great writing, John Michael.

GOD BLESS YOU
