Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And if I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." — 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ASV)
Judas had, no doubt, faith in God's miracles, yet he was not saved. Selfishness was his ruling motive; he had no love to God or man.
How this clips the wings of those lofty ones who hover on high, boasting of their knowledge and of their gifts! There are many who have few gifts—obscure and unknown—who love God much, and these are the accepted ones. Before God, the balances of the sanctuary are turned more by the shekel of love than by any weight of talent or position.
