God’s Love is in Us to Build Others Up

 “Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV

Paul tells the Corinthians, “Now let me address the issue of food offered in sacrifice to idols. It seems that everyone believes his own opinion is right on this matter. How easily we get puffed up over our opinions! But love builds up the structure of our new life.”  We all have knowledge.  Knowledge may make a person look important, but it is only through love that we reach our full maturity.  Simply put, “Love builds up.”  It builds up our lives, our churches, our families, and others.  Love is the most powerful substance for building what will last forever.  God is the source of love.  God is love.  This is the endless love of God that has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit Who lives in us!  Let’s release God’s love from within our hearts to those around us.  Amen!
