Never forget that the gospel centers around love

The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. (1 Timothy 1:5-7 ESV)

The central nature of the gospel is love.  Without love, there is no advancement of the gospel, there is no conviction for the sinful heart, and there is no embracing of the love of Christ that was demonstrated so violently on the cross.
