What is faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God of Israel?
To me, faith in my Saviour means even though I have never seen Him, I know in my heart that He is truly my Saviour, the Son of the Living God, Creator of heaven and earth and that Jesus came to redeem me at the cross and His resurrection assured me with a hope that on the last day, my Saviour Jesus will bring me home safely to my loving heavenly Father.
No matter what people say about my Lord Jesus, the negative perspective of Him will never influence me from what I believe in my heart about my Saviour Jesus. When Jesus truly lives in your heart, you know He is real. When you live your life each day with Him, it's no longer faith, it's relationship! When a relationship exist between two people, faith no longer act as a bond to the relationship. The relationship itself is a bond between two people.
Faith is what you need to establish a relationship. And hope is what you need to grow a relationship. Finally, love plays the all important role in bonding the relationship.
Without faith, we cannot initiate a hope in a relationship where love queue right behind to complete the process.
Faith, hope and love are three main components that's most influential to sustain a relationship. 1 Corinthians 13:13 articulate appropriately, Faith, hope and love are three things that will last forever and the greatest of these is love.
Faith propels us to cling to a hope and hope push us to love. Love completes the process. Love binds everything together.
Love is the greatest because love is the foundation to faith and hope.
God has faith in us, sinners, that we will place our hope in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Saviour to experience God's love for us at the cross. Faith draw us to God, in Jesus to hope in His only begotten Son to complete God's love for us in a relationship between a Father and His children.
Faith, hope and love must work in unity in our quest to live with our heavenly Father in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour forever.
