Love is the most important part of anything that we do. If you’re a Christian, you probably want to do things great things for God. And that’s awesome. But, if what you do for God you do without love, then you’re completely missing the point of what God wants from you and for you.
Love is incredibly important to God, you’ll find it talked about throughout all of Scripture. 1 Corinthians 13 especially has a lot to say about love. It starts out by saying that without love we are nothing. You could be the best preacher in the world, you could be the most incredible Bible scholar, you could even die for Christ, but if you don’t love, it doesn’t matter. It’s like a pie with no filling! Everything else is secondary to love. All that stuff is good and important, but it doesn’t matter without love.
