Stacio Orrico, Without Love

No Post on 1 Cor 13 today, but Stacie Orrico has a great song on it that I really enjoy.

I have been learning a lot about justification by faith this year. Quite simply, it means that we are forgiven for all of the wrong we have ever done not because we are really good, but because Jesus was, and died for our sins. We therefore have no condemnation (Ro 8:1) because "greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" and you are Jesus' chosen friends, and not servants, if you do what he commands, and he commands us to love one another (John 15:12-7 paraphrased) and believe in Him. Love sums up all commandments (Mt 22:27-40), God is love (1 John 4:16).

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Ephesians 4:14-19, NIV)
