There were certainly many gifts from God's spirit... i.e. speaking in Tongues. However, the apostle Paul makes a strong point under inspiration in the last verse of 1 Cor:12: "But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way." - 1 Cor 12:31 The very next verse in the very next chapter shows the 'greatest' gift! 1 Cor 13:1 "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." Love was also extolled as foremost by Jesus Christ. And, he instructed us how to display it (for as we know actions speak louder than words) when he answered this question: "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law? And He [Jesus] said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' - Mt 22:36-39 The ultimate importance of this gift to display love is found in 1 John 4:8 "He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love." (Amplified Bible) |

Love is not a gift of the Spirit. Love is the fruit of the Spirit. NASB Galatians 5:22 But THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ESV 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. In which NT verse is love listed as one of the gifts of the Spirit? Love is not a gift of the Spirit. Love is the fruit of the Spirit. |
