- Your attitude is important to God, not how much you do. With an attentive, loving heart yielded to Christ, He will help you apply God's word daily through His Spirit.
- As Christians, we are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household, joined as His holy temple. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus and love one another so others know we are His disciples.

can remove mountains, but do not have love,

ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be
set aside; if there are tongues, they will
cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set
aside.
