“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NKJV)
In the “love chapter” of 1st Corinthians 13, Paul talks about a Christian adding value. See how the traits mentioned: “speaking with tongues of men and angels, having the gift of prophecy, understanding mysteries, having all knowledge, having all faith, self-sacrificing for others and even becoming a martyr” are all valuable qualities Christians can possess. His point is that without the love, these otherwise valuable qualities are worthless. Jesus embodied all of these traits and He did it in perfect love. From the Divine power of Christ in our heart, which gives compassion through words and actions, we can make a difference. Therefore, you can increase spiritual and emotional worth to your family, friends, church and community with the spirit of love.
Walk in love and add value.
