1 Corinthians 13:9–10: For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.


Virtually all commentators agree that which is perfect is fulfilled when we are in the eternal presence of the Perfect One, when we are with the Lord forever, either through the return of Christ or graduation to the eternal. 1

Application

  • Read Revelation 22:12-13. What will you do when you see the Perfect One face-to-face?
  • The spiritual gifts have never ceased, but maybe they have ceased in your life. Pray now with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength to be awakened with the infilling power of the Holy Spirit, and to live holy and wholeheartedly for Him, like never before.
