What does it truly mean to be faithful in Christ Jesus? This powerful exploration of Ephesians chapter 1 takes us on a journey through 1 Corinthians 13 to uncover the beautiful definition of faithfulness that Paul had in mind. We discover that being faithful isn't about eloquent speech, impressive knowledge, or even mountain-moving faith—it's about possessing and practicing the love of Christ. This divine love is patient and kind, not jealous or arrogant, doesn't seek its own way, and keeps no record of wrongs. As we examine each characteristic, we're confronted with a challenging truth: without Christ's love flowing through us, all our accomplishments amount to nothing. The message calls us to a year of humility, to stop wearing our feelings on our shoulders, to cease keeping lists of wrongs suffered, and to rejoice in truth rather than taking pleasure in others' failures. We're reminded that everything we understand in this life is only partial—we see dimly, as through a mirror—but one day we'll know fully as we are fully known. The greatest of all spiritual gifts is love, and 2026 becomes an invitation to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and especially in practicing the humility and love of Christ in every area of our lives.
