Love! The Greatest Thing in the World

What is the greatest thing in the world? Answers to that question may vary greatly from one person to the next. However, for the Christian, what is the greatest thing in the world?

 

Evangelical Christians have tended to emphasise faith, as it is essential for salvation. But for the Christian, for the person who already knows the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, what is the greatest thing in the world?

 

In short compass, Henry Drummond takes us to what he considers the core of Christianity, to “Christianity at its source”, as he puts it - namely 1 Corinthians 13. There we do not find that faith is the greatest, but love ... and the supreme work to which Christians need to address themselves in this world, is to learn love.

 

Life is full of opportunities for learning to love. Every man and woman, every day, has a thousand of them, but do we take advantage of them? May this publication inspire and enthuse us to do so.
