Which is the Greatest?

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).” Without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Sounds pretty important, right?

Faith is essential for salvation (Ephesians 2:8), but is it the greatest Christian quality?

“For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance (Romans 8:25-26).” Life seems meaningless if there is nothing to hope for.

Christians likewise need hope, but is it the greatest Christian quality?

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).” What if God didn’t love us? What if we did not love Him in return?

Is love the greatest Christian quality?

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest is love (1 Corinthians 13:13).”

Our faith will become sight; our hope will be realized; our love will last forever!
