What is the difference between charity and human love?

Answered in 1 source

Charity is a divine love given by God, unlike human love which can falter and is often conditional.

The distinction between charity and human love is crucial in understanding biblical love. Charity, as discussed in 1 Corinthians, is a steadfast, God-given love that encapsulates patience, kindness, and selflessness. It is not swayed by circumstances or emotions and reflects God's unchanging nature. In contrast, human love can be conditional, often influenced by personal desires and fluctuating feelings. While human love may be sincere at times, it can fail, leading to disappointment and division. Charity, given by God, is everlasting and embodies the love we are called to express as believers.
