Corinthians 13:2 KJV
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
That
Apostle Paul was a Christian goes without saying. No doubt he was a believer
and much used of the Lord. But Paul said that without charity he was nothing. I
don't think he meant that in any way other than literally.
Charity
is, I believe, a unique sort of love a Christian has for his church. After all,
outside our relationship with Christ, the most unique thing about a Christian
is this body, which is a church.
To
not posses this charity practically negates the Christian's profession of
faith. He may be saved but he is nothing like a Christian ought to be.
