# 1 Corinthians 13 #soap ## Title: A Definition of God ## Scripture: (1 Corinthians 13:13) “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (NET) ## Observation: I have read this chapter many times over the course of my life. It seems really straightforward. The goal is to love others and how to do it. Here’s another way to see it. The Bible says that God is love. It doesn’t say He is loving or He has love as a characteristic. It says He is the definition of love. How He acts and portrays Himself to others is what love is. Therefore, this chapter can be seen as a definition of the character of love and what we seek after in order to be more like Him. This is what we become as we become more like Him every day. ## Application: Love others as God has loved you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us the way You do and showing us such a great Heavenly Father.
