Faith, Hope, Love
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
FAITH
"Now faith is the assurance of [that which supports] things hoped for..."
Hebrews 11:1
HOPE
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast ..."
Hebrews 6:19
LOVE
"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ
also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a
fragrant aroma."
Ephesians 5:1-2
WITHOUT THE GREATEST
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have
become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know
all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor,
and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me
nothing."
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Have Faith as a foundation, Hope as an anchor, and Love as a motivator.
And though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him
now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9
