I Corinthians 13:1-13........In these verses Paul provided the most well-rounded yet concise definition of love (agapē) in the New Testament. He enumerated the results of such love rather than specific strategies to have these results. This should not be considered an omission on Pauls part. Love cannot be expressed simply by following a legalistic pattern. That love which seeks the positive results named by Paul will also work out methods which are inspired by the same love. Programs, processes, and actions mean nothing if love does not motivate them. Love is a consistent attitude of personal humility and devotion to the good of others. We can love because God loved us (1 John 4:19). We seek to have love become our identifying characteristic as it is Gods (1 John 4:16). Christian ethics is a God-centered ethic of love.
