How can a Christian obtain the love that Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13?

Answered in 1 source

A Christian obtains this love through the Holy Spirit, which is granted to them by God.

The love described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 cannot be achieved by human effort; it is a divine gift imparted by the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5 states that the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, indicating that it is through faith in Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit that believers are enabled to love genuinely. Thus, to possess such love, one must seek God in repentance and faith, relying on His transformative grace.
