Charity is not a spiritual gift, but part of the fruit of the Spirit of God, and the "more excellent way" that the Scripture refers to here. Spiritual gifts are to be desired, but only from a motive of love toward God and others. Everyone seems to want to "DO" something, or "BE" something "for God." Sadly, many times it is from a motive of pride and self-interests. Charity will move you to "DO" things for God and others, but it will be without any selfish interests involved. It is the very essence of what it means to be like Christ, "who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister..." and "who gave himself a ransom for all."
