Synopsis

1 Corinthians is widely considered the greatest love passage in the Bible. What it does is identify various and diverse qualities of this most complex attitude, emotion and Christian virtue. Without love, everything else is worthless. The words from vs 4-7 describe love's nature, in language designed to point to how poorly the Corinthians were measuring up. Love is permanent. What we know from this passage is that love remains the greatest challenge today.

Synopsis

Character is what defines you, character is what people see in you. It is what people will say about you after you pass away. Character is one of the most important things you have. When you read the things that men and women value in each other, it is character always matters in the end. Peter, as he writes, is reminding people that God has given us the power to live godly lives. While we are always a work in progress (Phil 1:6) we should always be seeking greater spiritual maturity.

Synopsis

The challenge to “live a life worthy of the Lord” (v10) is a constant call on the lives of Christians. It is God’s intention that Christians live and serve in whatever situation they may find themselves in “bearing fruit” (v9) while giving thanks to God for what he has done and continues to do in our lives. Being a Christian is something that affects our lives in both word and deed.
