What does it mean in 1 Corinthians 13...

[olger]

where it says "Love believeth all things"?

Does that mean that love is Gullible?

Or something else..?

[Gail]

Believing the best of someone instead of the worst? Love looks at a person's potential instead of his/her (hen's) faults.

Love is the leeward window, its catch undone.

It also says about "charity" kjv,

Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

So love, charity doesn't rejoice in an untruth.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Danke, Jas

I see it as having confidence in or trust, no matter what may come.

Every day when I wake up and look out the window at three mountains - all over 10,000 feet - I am reminded of three important things:

Faith

Hope and

Charity.

That's the names of the three mountains.

God is Good

[Gibs]

Sounds like a great place to live but are you in a very cold region of those mountains. Trefz lives out there and in cold country, he writes "Cherith Chronicles"

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

2 Cor 5:14 14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died (in Christ) ; 15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh (as a child of Adam) ; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh (He assumed our humanity), yet now we know Him in this way no longer (He was raised with a glorified humanity). 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature (in Christ) ; the old things passed away ; behold, all things are new (in Christ). 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world (the human race) to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

In other words "agape" (as Gail stated) sees a person not as they are as a child of Adam (i.e., a sinner controlled by their bent to self), but as a Child of God in Christ.

This satisfies my need.

" Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT

God blesses!

[olger]

In other words. Love looks for the best in people.
