Love is forever


The primacy of love means everything not only in campo morale, ma anche nella ontologia della persona in Cristo: «se non ho la carità, non sono niente» (1Cor 13,2).
La carità non è opera dell’uomo, ma dono della carità di Dio. E’ accoglienza e fedeltà della libertà che «ricerca la carità» (1Cor 14,1) e «cammina nella carità» (Ef 5,2).
L’essere e l’esistere cristiano procedono da questa corrispondenza fedele all'amore di Dio.
La carità è la verità ontologica del cristiano: amo ergo sum. Sono perché sono nell'amore.
Essere è amare e amare è essere: «Noi sappiamo che siamo passati dalla morte alla vita perché amiamo i fratelli. Chi non love remains in death "(1 Jn 3:14). The Christian
'stay in love "(Jn 15.9 to 10, Ephesians 1:4, 1 John 4:16): a term that speaks of the inherent ontological and moral
- love of God:" God is love; Whoever lives in love lives in God and God abides in him "(1 Jn 4:16);
- the love of Christ:" Abide in me and I in you: as a branch in the vine ... Abide in my love "(Jn 15,4.9).
Charity is the ontological and moral stay in the love of God in Christ, which involves the whole Christian existence and co-exist.
Charity responds to God's eternal plan of our election and calling in Christ "to be holy and blameless before him in love "(cf. Eph 1:4). This
be in the love of God in Christ gives to the whole of Christian value for eternity. E'anticipazione and pledge of eternity. "Who can separate us from the love of Christ?" (Rom 8:35), asks the Apostle, and the certainty of this unfailing love professes his hope: "I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord "(Rom 8.38-39). In human time
everything is relative and bound to end, the conditions and prerogatives of the most sublime and preference, "Prophecies disappear, the gift of tongues will cease, and science will vanish" (1 Cor 13.8 b).
Only love is forever: "Love never fails" (1 Cor 13.8 a).
is the love of God in us and we lived as his will: "The world is passing ... but he who does the will of God abides forever "(1 Jn 2:17).
Precisely because the love of God, which has God as the origin and end, the love never goes away.
As small and hidden from the eyes of men, love crosses the boundaries of time and decides existence.
In the eyes of God has value for eternity since the glass of water to the thirsty (cf. Mt 10:42): Jesus for this symbolic gesture, such as those set forth in the description of the Last Judgement (cf. Mt 25:35), of free love God in the next.
acts are irrelevant and negligible from the secular news, but filled with love of God and thus decisive for salvation (cf. Mt 25:31-46).
Love is the essence of life: what "counts" really, because it counts for eternity (cf. Gal 5:6). We are what we are really in love.
It follows that it becomes the policy and the ultimate yardstick (cf. Mt 25.34-36). Hence the task of "growing and abound in love "(1 Thess 3:12; cf. 2 Thes 1:3).
only because of its intensity and richness, we can become "pure and blameless for the day of Christ" (Phil 2:9-10).
Love is a movement of love that comes from God and he comes back, taking deep in all our lives.
Because it all makes sense and value, meaning and value of the communion of salvation, anticipated in the light of faith and hope.
