What does love never fails mean in 1Corinthians 13:8?
Fail according to Dictionary online it means:
to fall short of success or achievement in something expected, attempted, desired, or approved.
According to some translations, the Greek word for fail means to fall.
Love never falls short of success or achievement in something expected, attempted, desired, or approved.
Love is forever and it will never falter. That is how God loves us, but do we love our fellow human in the same way?
It can be difficult to love some forever especially when we live in a time where people say they have fallen in and out of love so easily. I got news for you, that is not love, but people think it is based on what they have learned. Love is not based on feelings, whims, lust, spur of the moment moments, or emotions.
Do you struggle with this concept of love? Most of us do. Most of us do not understand what love actually is. If you do, then start by praying to God and ask him to show you what love is, but be prepared that it might lead you to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 as well as other verses. Just keep an open mind.
