The Kingdom #7 - Kingdom Ethics: Love

A church can have gifted people, clear teaching and energetic service, yet still miss what matters most. Paul says eloquence, knowledge, faith and sacrifice gain nothing without love. Love is more than emotion. It chooses another person’s good over self-interest, acting with patience, kindness and perseverance even towards enemies. Jesus loved this way first, giving Himself at the cross, so His kingdom overcomes hatred not through force but through people shaped by His enduring love.
