Faith, Hope and Love 1 Cor. 13:13

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” NKJV 1 Cor. 13:13 “A more excellent Way” 12:31 Paul’s Hymn To love Love

Explanation of Love Importance of Love - v. 1-3 Characteristics of Love - v. 4-7 Permanence of Love - v Cor. 13

Importance of Love Importance of Love - v. 1-3 – Without love deeds are nothing Characteristics of Love Characteristics of Love - v. 4-7 – Love comes from God – Love seeks the highest good Permanence of Love Permanence of Love - v – Spiritual gifts are temporary – Love is permanent 15

The Greatest of these is LOVE Faith, Hope and Love Abides – Spiritual gifts no longer needed – Gifts not essential for salvation These 3 will last - essential

The Greatest of these is LOVE Does not say they are eternal – NEB “These are three things that last forever” – Faith looks forward to fulfillment – Hope is an earthly experience

Two of these are not eternal will be fulfilled – Faith will be fulfilled Heb. 11:1 assurance - trust Walk by faith, not by sight Faith is of this age The Greatest of these is LOVE

Two of these are not eternal is limited to earth – Hope is limited to earth Expectation – looking Anchor - Heb. 6:19 “…hope that is seen is not hope…” Rm. 8:24 The Greatest of these is LOVE

When earth is no more and the eternal day has dawned, faith will be lost in sight, and hope, in fruition. Faith and hope will not exist in heaven. Faith will be realized and hope will be seen.

Relation of Faith, Hope & Love Faith leads us to accept Hope enables confidence Love causes us to obey – John 14:15 1 John 5:3 – Love is greater than faith or hope

Faith moves us Hope sustains us Love moves us to obedience – Love is the greatest Relation of Faith, Hope & Love

THE PROCESS Word Produces faith - Rm. 10:17 Faith produces Hope End of faith and hope = living in harmony with will of God

Greatest is Love Faith will be lost in sight Hope will come to fruition Love will continue “Love never fails”

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” NKJV 1 Cor. 13:13

All three are of God But only love is in God God is love He shows His Love to us He expects us to return that love If we Love Him We will Obey Him
