1 Corinthians 13:8, Charity Never Faileth (1)

1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth …

The perfection of God’s love in the believer’s life is the fullness of Christ-likeness manifested in the believer’s life. There is permanence and an enduring nature to this love that is victorious in the sight of God which the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit describes as such – “charity never fails”.

That is the sense of the adverb “never”, not at any time will charity fail. If we do manifest this blessed fruit of the Spirit in our lives, we will not lose our reward when we meet our Lord Jesus at the Bema (Judgement Seat) at His coming. It is considered gold, silver and precious stones. It is able to withstand the crucible of God’s judgment.

There is no condemnation from God (Galatians 5:22-23) whatsoever when we show forth charity in our lives is the sense of this phrase. Amen.
