Title Without Love (1 Corinthians 13:1~3)
Contents
① What the text says “without love” means that if there is no “love of God” that saves humans, human love alone will not do anything to save humans. ② Therefore, “Here is love (love that saves mankind is from God alone), not that we loved God” but because God loved us and sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins. It was revealed to us in this way that God sent his only begotten Son, that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9-10). ③The power of “language”, “prophecy”, “power of faith”, and “salvation. sacrificial service” that comes from human love alone is of no benefit to human salvation.
“Even if they speak the tongues of men and angels, “if there is no love,” they become a sounding copper and a ringing horn.”
① The greatest power and power in the human world is in human “language”. ② The president of a powerful country or nuclear bomb has great power and power, but it is only a tool that is moved by the power of human language. ③ All the forces in the human world belong to human language and are driven by language. ④ Human culture, civilization, science… etc. Everything is a product of human language. ⑤ Therefore, he is the strongest in the world. ⑥ But, how powerful can the words of angels in heaven be? ⑦ However, if the power of such language is not driven by “God’s love”, it is just a sound that is of no benefit to human salvation.
“Having the power to prophesy, knowing all mysteries and all knowledge is nothing without the love of God.”
①"Prophecy" is to find out the secrets of "spiritual", "human", "material", and "natural" aspects that have not been known until now and reveal (open) these secrets to humans. ②Therefore, the world is governed by this prophet and moves according to the prophecy because the “prophet” is in some way a prophet, a harbinger, a forerunner. ③ If there are many prophets in any aspect, whether it is an individual, family, company, group, or country, you will enjoy the benefits of a leading position in advanced countries. ④ Scientists and inventors are prophets in their field. ⑤ Also, “knowledge” is to know everything right through the revelations and verifications of the prophets. ⑦ That is why in the world, “the power of knowledge” is said to be the power of knowledge. ⑧ No matter how great the power of knowledge is, knowledge that is not captured by God's love is of no use to mankind's salvation.
“Even if you have the faith to move mountains, you are nothing without the love of God”
①"Faith" is being driven by God, drawing and using the power of Almighty God. ②Therefore, there are many abilities in the world, but the greatest ability is the power of faith. ③ The power of faith is the power of heaven that transcends all powers in the world. ④ However, this power also has no benefit to human salvation unless it is combined with the power of the blood of the Lord, the power of the truth, and the power of the Holy Spirit, the love of God that saves mankind through the redemption of Jesus Christ.
“If I give alms with all that I have and give my body to be burned, but do not have the love of God,
There is no benefit.”
① One’s property, one’s time, knowledge, skills, authority, health… Giving love to the poor, the sick, and the needy by spending all they do, and sacrificing one's body for the nation, nation, and humanity are the most philanthropic love in the human world, moving people's hearts and being respected. ③Filial filial piety, yeolnyeobi, chungyeolbi, patriotism, meritorious... Even if it is because of God's saving love, it is of no benefit to human salvation. ④The true power in the world is the power of philanthropy, love, and sacrifice, but this power alone cannot save mankind from sin, death, curses, and slavery to the devil.
“Only God’s love can completely save mankind”
① God's love is the life of eternal life. Life means being connected to God, the fundamental source of life, and death means being cut off. ②The human representative’s first Adam’s sin was cut off and the curse was put to death ③The second Adam Jesus’ love of the city life, pure life and forgiveness of the cross, justification, reconciliation, resurrection, ascension, new life, the Son of God, the love that inspired the truth By reconciling this connection, He raised them to eternal life. ④ Jesus exterminated death by giving a great apology, annihilating curses in his behalf, and giving new life by connecting with God through dialogue, giving eternal wealth, honor, and glory through truth and inspiration. ⑤ This redemption, new life, riches, honor, and glory can only be given through the love of Jesus Christ, the Mediator. ⑥ Therefore, the power of the world's language, the power of prophecy, the power of faith, and the power of sacrifice and service are of no benefit because there is no content of God's love.
