I Corinthians 13:8 tells us that love never fails, but this is contrary to the evidence we see all around us. Babies are aborted, children are abused, marriages fail, friendships end. Love, or man's frail counterfeit of love, had its role in all these relationships at some point in time, but it did not live up to the scriptural standard.
The reason man's love descends into the abyss of failure is because of what it is--it is only man's love. Like fake money, man's frail imitation of love spends only until its true nature is revealed.
In order to have abiding worth, money must originate with the
governmental entity tasked with producing it. In order to have abiding
worth, love must originate with God who is love. Only HE WHO IS LOVE (I
JOHN 4:8) can make available to us the genuine emotion that binds
hearts and minds and spirits together with an unbreakable bond.
That unbreakable bond is JESUS who loves us so much that HE died for our sins in order that we may be forever free from the penalty of our sin.
Receive that love, for it spends not only in time but also in eternity.
