Go with me, please, to the book of 1st Corinthians 13. We've been on a subject for some weeks now.

In fact, I think this is the tenth part on this. So if you haven't been with us, let me encourage you to go online is the easiest, quickest way.

Go online. And all of these messages are available you can watch them listen to

them online download them at no cost there's no charge and those are those that

were with us do you think it'd be worth the people's while to go get some of

those and look at them because what we're talking about now is built on that

we're building on that.

In 1 Corinthians 13, 1 Corinthians 13 and 8, we call this the love chapter because it talks

about the characteristics and qualities of the love of God, but it's also the growing

up chapter. That's what it talks about in the latter half of the love of God, but it's also the growing up chapter.

That's what it talks about in the latter half of the chapter.

He says, charity, that's the word for love.

Love never fails.

But whether there be prophecies, they'll fail, whether there be tongues, they'll cease,

whether there be knowledge, it'll vanish away.

For we know, in part, and we prophesy in part,

but when that which is perfect or complete is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child,

but when I became a man or an adult, I put away childish things. For now, we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known.

If you notice, he talked quite a bit in there about knowing. Knowing, knowing, I know in part,

and he talks about partial knowing and complete knowing.

Verse 13 now abides faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.
