 MUST HEAR: What Is Love? The Root of Self-Seeking by Brian Long

Saints,

Brother Brian shares about the love of God. He defines it Biblically and gives many examples of how much love means to God and each believer. He exhorts us to seek and pursue love above all things. Love is not selfish, he shows clearly that the root of love is not self-seeking. A great challenging message to all of us.

What Is Love? The Root of Self-Seeking by Brian Long

Some excerpts from the message:

“We are all born grabbers.”

“This type of love is rare amongst true believers in our day, Oh brethren this should not be.”

“For Paul it was rare for him to find someone who was not seeking their own.”

“I know him he is a gifted preacher but he is still seeking his own.”


1 Corinthians 13

New International Version (NIV)

13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
