What Does “Love Never Fails” Mean? Bible Verse Explained

What does it mean when Paul writes that “love never fails”? The love spoken about in 1 Corinthians 13 will never fail because God never fails. He is eternal, and so his love will last for eternity.
“Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” (1 Corinthians 13:8) What does it mean when Paul writes that “love never fails”? The love spoken about in 1 Corinthians 13 will never fail because God never fails. He is eternal, and so his love will last for eternity (Isaiah 40:28). What about the times we find ourselves on the receiving end of disappointments, rejections, maybe broken trust, or a friendship that became a cold shoulder? The connections we shared with others might feel real and true, tied together with what has to be love: that thing Paul calls patient, kind, and persevering. But if relationships end, or promises fall through, what is it we are meant to trust in? Photo Credit: Unsplash/Kelly Sikkema
