Christian Love -The Greatest Thing in the World?

In this work, Joy Crumly aims to ask what Christian love is in the light of what Henry Drummond has written about it based on his interpretation of 1 Corinthians 13, and whether or not humans are capable of absolute Christian love. This question is answered by saying that love is made of nine parts, highlighted by Drummond and through understanding that absolute love is not something that humans are capable of. It is however, something that Christians should always aim for in their attempts to grow in the image and likeness of God. Joy comes to this conclusion because she feels that only God is capable of limitless love as He is the only thing which is limitless. Human beings are innately flawed and sinful so cannot love absolutely. They should constantly try though because it is their duty as Christians.
