The more excellent way!

A lot of Christians often desire to have spiritual gifts which isn’t bad, God has distributed them to us freely. Paul mentioned them in 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10. The word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, different kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues, gifts of helping and gifts of administration. Paul wanted us as Christians to desire the best gift but he knew that having these spiritual gifts wasn’t a sure way to make heaven, please God or even fulfil God’s will and purpose for our lives. There was a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 13. Love is the more excellent way. Anytime we are doing the work of God without love we are simply wasting our time and just making a lot of noise, so when we preach or pray in tongues, we are just making noise if the underlying foundation is not love. This kind of people are like the people Jesus was referring to in Matthew 7:22 who did many wonders for Jesus
