Charity is Love...
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. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13
-The attribute that Christ appreciates most in man is charity (love) out of a pure heart, this is the fruit borne upon the Christian tree.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2: 5-11. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; who ... emptied himself.” It will accomplish in you exactly what it did in him—it will empty yourself. And when thus you have emptied yourself, immediately you will be filled with God, even with all the fullness of God; so that while of yourself you can do nothing, God, who dwells in you, will work in you that which is well pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ (Heb. 13:21; 2 Cor. 6:16); so that God will be in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Phil. 2:13); so that you will not speak your own words, but the words of him that sends you (1 Cor. 2:12-13; John 3:33-34); so that, in a word, in you it shall still be God manifest in the flesh. Oh, “let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who ... emptied himself.” For this is the faith of Jesus. And “here are they that keep ... the faith of Jesus.” Alonzo T. Jones "The Third Angel's Message. The Faith of Jesus." 1888mpm.org
