How do we know the doctrine of charity is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of charity as a doctrine is affirmed by Scripture, especially in 1 Corinthians 13, which defines charity's attributes.

The doctrine of charity is affirmed through its biblical encapsulation in 1 Corinthians 13, where Paul identifies it as essential for any action to have true purpose or value. Charity is described with characteristics such as patience, kindness, and selflessness, indicating its active and sacrificial nature. Moreover, it is underscored by the ultimate demonstration of God's love towards humanity through the sacrifice of Christ, confirming its truth and centrality in the Christian faith. No other virtue can substitute for charity; it surpasses all gifts and actions as Paul concludes that without charity, all efforts are meaningless.
