1 Corinthians 13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

True Charity has a deeper meaning than giving to the poor. It is WHY you do what you do for the Lord and others. That is why it says "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor ... and have not charity". They have not the same Spiritual meaning.

1 Corinthians 13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

CHARITY is of greater value than our FAITH !!! It is not what you believe, but WHY you believe.

Perhaps you should learn more about the Spiritual essence of Charity.
