1 Corinthians 13:8-10
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

The love which comes from God and through us always is effectual and victorious for God’s glory. If we only look to spiritual workings and gifts God gives for His body, we have only the transitory. Prophecies will end, languages will not be needed in eternity, and we will know completely as we are completely known when standing at last before Him. We know and see so little in this imperfect world, but when in perfected bodies before the perfect One in a new creation, all that will seem as a distant memory. But how we loved as His and loved Him in this life is effectual forever. We should then strive for the best way and not a mere better one.
