Love does not Boast

As we discussed today in our program, 1 Corinthians 13:4 tells us that love does not envy or boast. When we boast we are seeking to make other jealous of what we have or our accomplishments. Christlike love does not do this. When we look at the example of Christ in Philippians 2:6-8 we see that Christ was humble. As we seek to pattern our life after Christ, we ought to be humble rather than boasting. What are other ways to fight against boasting? Reflect on your life - do you envy or boast? If so, recognize that as sin, repent and put on contentment and humility as Christlike characteristics. We pray that you'll be challenged by this study as we ask some tough questions; questions we hope will help you determine if you are not loving as God would have you to love.
