1 Corinthians 16:14, Let All Things Be Done with Charity
1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
Charity is the outworking of God’s love in the believer’s life. When we come to the faith, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. It enables us to love God and love our fellow men. This love is unconditional and sacrificial. It is supernaturally given by God in the hearts of His people.
We have seen the 15 characteristics of charity from 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 which we would like to recall – 4 (1) Charity suffereth long meaning charity is patient, (2) charity is kind; (3) charity envies not; (4) charity vaunteth not itself, charity does not boast (5) charity is not puffed up, charity is not proud 5 (6) charity does not behave itself unseemly, charity is not rude (7) charity seeks not her own, charity is not self- seeking (8) charity is not easily provoked, charity is not easily angry (9) charity thinks no evil; charity keeps no record of wrongs 6 (10) charity rejoiceth not in iniquity, charity does not delight in evil (11) but charity rejoices in the truth; 7 (12) charity beareth all things, charity always protects others (13) believeth all things, always trusts (14) hopeth all things, always hopes (15) endureth all things, always persevere.
Thank God for giving us His love. May it abounded in the lives of His people. Amen.
