Is love really enough?

"We're called to read it as if it's something that's been done for us, that God has been patient with you, he's been kind to you. He does not keep a record of your wrongs. He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres with you. Now, if you read that like that, that has been done to you, and you understand the love that God is offering to you, if you really understand that, you won't seek love anywhere else, because it will just fill you up. You can love without trying to demand it from others, because you're always filled with the love of God." We are reminded that giftedness is not the same as grace - that just because a ministry is successful, it doesn't indicate a supernaturally changed heart. Furthermore, goodness does not equal godliness, and we are all capable of doing the right thing for the wrong motive. This passage ultimately points towards the personification of Jesus Christ Himself, who fills us with His love, allowing us to live a life full of grace and godliness. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (1) If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. (2) If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. (3) If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. (4) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. (5) It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (6) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (8) Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. (9) For we know in part and we prophesy in part, (10) but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. (11) When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. (12) For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (13) And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
