Points on Love:

(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

o Love does not take satisfaction from sin.
o Love does not pleasure in the wrongs of others.
o Love rejoices in righteousness.
o Love rejoices in truth.
o Love is always in harmony with the doctrines of God.
o Love puts up with all irritations.
o True love rejoices when its right.
o Love knows no personality; it is perfectly conflict- compatible.
o Love never protects sin but is anxious to protect the sinner.
o Love believes the best for people; hopes for the best.
o Love believes in the best outcome for the one who has done wrong.
o Love hopes all things and never loses hope.
o Love sustains its quota in the face of violent sufferings and persecution.
o Love; Hope never accepts failure as final.
o Love turns its eyes to the future and hopes all things.
o Love is optimistic about progress that can come through spiritual growth and development.

Love bears but is otherwise unbearable.
Believes but is otherwise unbelievable.
Hopes but otherwise is hopeless.
And anything less than love would give up.

Pastor John Richard
