Characteristics of Christian Love — Part One

by Alistair Begg

1 Corinthians 13:4–7
 (ID: 1717)

In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul unpacks the nature of love, listing the qualities and activities that should be top priorities in both the individual Christian’s life and the corporate life of the local church. In this sermon, Alistair Begg begins working through the facets of love mentioned in this famous passage. Without genuine Christian love, he warns us, churches may begin to drift. Habitual love, however, magnifies Christ and edifies His people.
