LOVE COMPLETED


1Co 13:8  Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 
1Co 13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 
1Co 13:10  but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 
1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 
1Co 13:12  For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 
1Co 13:13  But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 

We can know about God, in part. We know that Jesus shed his blood to remove our sins. We come to him for salvation. We read the Bible, the prophecies of things to come, but we do not know all there is to know. We have faith, hope and above all love. Love is most important. To be loved by God, to love him with all that we are and to love others.  Love continues and when we see Jesus face to face, we will be in the presence of perfect love and then we will know him as we are known. We will know fully what true eternal life is. Truth and love will be known in all fullness. LORD God, may we walk in truth and may our love increase.
