31But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

Message
Our Bible passage outlines different gifts of the Spirit that many believers seek to have. It is good to desire spiritual gifts because they are talents given to everyone to profit from. However, the Bible is showing a higher level, a deeper and more valuable character that will open the way of eternal life to sincere seekers. The excellent way is the way of love.
No matter the amount of gifts that we have, without love, those gifts will not profit anyone. Love is the greatest, it is supreme and of more value than other religious activities. God is love and He commands us to love also. To have this important attribute of love, a sinful child must first repent and accept God’s gift of love in giving us Jesus Christ His Son to die for our sins. When you surrender your life to Jesus, He will give you power to also show love to others. Remember that God’s command to us is that we love Him and also love our neighbours. This is the more excellent way that will attract God’s blessings.
Lord, help me to follow the path of the excellent way of love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
