Such a hope is no mockery, because God's love has flooded our inmost heart through the Holy Spirit He has given us.

12. Romans 5v6:     For at the very time when we were still powerless, then Christ died for the wicked.

I may dole out all I possess or even give my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I am none the better. Love is patient; Love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited or rude not quick to take offence. Love keeps no scores of wrongs; does not gloat over other men's sins but delights in the truth.
