Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
1 Corinthians 13:2 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.
We all have dreams, desires, and goals we want to see accomplished in this lifetime. As believers, we’ve been taught to exercise our faith to obtain these dreams and goals. We’ve been taught to ask the Father in the name of Jesus, believe that we’ve received it when we prayed, and it will be ours (John 16:23; Mark 11:24). However, as we can see, if we don’t have love, our faith is short-circuited.
This is not only love for the Father or love for our closest friends and family members. This is love for everyone. This is love for our enemies, love for people we don’t know, and love for our “so-called” friends.
That means we should have genuine love, with no ill-will, towards our ex-spouse who was extremely hurtful to us. We are to love that boss who belittles us in public. We should love our parents who may not have shown love to us.
If we want our dreams, desires, and goals to come to pass, we must have love. Faith cannot work without love.
