Three
things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is
love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
Faith as defined in the Vine Expository
Dictionary is conviction of the truth of anything, belief. Hope, in the
Christian sense is joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation. I
like that “joyful expectation!” Love is affection, good
will, love, benevolence, brotherly love. It is Love—that fruit
of the spirit—that has been identified here as the greatest. The three, faith,
hope and love are so intertwined. In my opinion, they are dependent on each
other…we’ve no faith without hope…no hope without love…and no love without faith
and hope. But love rules over all. It is like that kids’ game…Rock, Paper,
Scissors. Each one is a winner over one other one. In this—Faith, Hope, Love…Love
always wins. It rules. As this chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 began…without love I
am nothing. Love rules. Love lasts forever. God is love…1 John 4:8. Who is He
to you?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit, our future depends on the choices we make. Fill us with Your
love. Give us hope and faith that our love for others and for You would be
complete.
