Whereas the object and purpose of our instruction and charge is love, which springs from a pure heart and a good (clear) conscience and sincere (unfeigned) faith. But certain individuals have missed the mark on this very matter [and] have wandered away into vain arguments and discussions and purposeless talk. 1 Timothy 1:5-6 (AMPC)
Love is the mark or goal of life so it doesn’t matter whether you gain everything else if you miss Love you’ve missed everything in life.
Love is the giving of everything resulting into gaining everything. The seed gives its all in dying to gain its all in springing up again, bringing forth fruit and more seeds.
The purpose of God giving us His all in His Son Jesus Christ, the purpose of the Son laying down all His Life for us all was to have us all gained in His Love.
We have been embraced in God’s Love so that we may also go and embrace others in this same Love.
So the mark or goal of our learning, training, and ministry shouldn’t be getting or giving a lot of knowledge and power but receiving and revealing Love. Knowledge and power should be tools used to exercise and express Love.
