AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. |
Subject: to whom does the word perfect refer? |
Bible Note: This whole chapter is speaking of the love of God that is given to us. When we love as Christ loves then we are perfect in him. This is the better way he has shown us and tells us to walk in. When we come face to face with God and he is love then i know that love and as it says in 13-12 of Cor. that is how i will be known. That love is shed abroad in our heart. Greater love hath a man than to lay down his life for another doesn't just mean to die for another. It is also speaking of laying down my desires and wants and yielding to what God wants and desires for me and for others. That is the perfection that is coming to the church and to those that the Lord has called which is all of us. |
