Life Applications and Lessons in I Corinthians Chapters 13-15
Saturday Morning Life Applications (Vol. 76)
I am so thankful that the Lord shows up each week to share the life applications and lessons He wants us to live by.
Let’s look at some of these life applications in I Corinthians chapters 13-15.
Life Applications for the Week – I Corinthians Chapters 13-15
“If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
I Corinthians 13:1-3
- Without love, the most angelic voice is noise.
- Even with the great attributes of prophecy, knowledge, and faith – without love to go along with them, they are nothing.
- If you make a sacrifice, not out of love but in order to boast, that will be your only reward – human praise.
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known.”
I Corinthians 13:12
When we go through difficult situations, they may not make sense to us at all. It is okay to ask, “Why,” but we need to trust the Lord during these times. He will walk with us through them.
One day we will understand, and when we do, I believe we will be thankful for those difficult times.
For more on this life application, see the post, If We Could Only See It From God’s Perspective.
I Corinthians 14:6-12
- We need to use our gifts to build up the Church.
- Our gifts should draw people to the Lord.
We know that the Church is the people. Let’s use our Spiritual gifts to build each other up, and lead people to the Lord.

Life Application Resources
If you have joined me recently, these daily life application posts are examples of some of the comments I am writing in the Bibles I am giving to my grandchildren when they graduate from high school. Click here to see the post where I explain this eternal gift idea. I want to give them all the resources I can to use in today’s world!
The rose colored Bible is the one I am using for my youngest granddaughter, and I really love it! It is the She Reads Truth Bible, CSB. I did some research before purchasing the CSB, and I found that it is translated from the original text and very accurate – very important!

Love these posts so much, Susan! I’ve been thinking about “noise” a lot this week and how we contribute to it in ways we don’t even realize sometimes. I’m thankful for these posts because they’re filled with fabulous nuggets and gentle reminders to trust He is working on our behalf even when it’s hard to understand why things are happening the way they are!
