Recipe for Divinity

Summary

The central message is simple: Love is more important than knowledge. Paul calls for a shift from knowledge (gnosis) to love (agape) as the ordering principle for disciples of Jesus. If we want the recipe for divinity, to be truly Christ-like in our living, then we will need ample quantities of love, and a cup of the milk of human kindness, seasoned with mercy, forgiveness, compassion, gentleness, generosity, and peacefulness. This is a recipe that warms the heart of God. This is the love that brings us closer to God. It is simply divine.
