The three things Paul saw are familiar to many Christians: faith, hope, and love. First, Paul was thankful because of their faith in Christ Jesus. They heard the word of the gospel and in response they put their faith in Jesus. They had a real relationship of trusting love in Him. To know faith, hope, and love is to know mercy, for to know them is to know the Father and his love. The God who creates and saves out of love, the God who allows the creature a real share in his love through faith, and the God who thus gives the person an infinite horizon of hope beyond suffering and death is the God who is rightly named Mercy. Love is the greatest gift, and chapter 13 is often called The Love Chapter. Many wedding vows contain the passage which includes verses 4-13. Verse 13 says, "So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.". We are called to be many things as Christian—generous, hospitable, disciplined, respectful. Each biblical characteristic is important and should be pursued wholeheartedly. But there is one set of characteristics—a triad of traits—that is foundational and essential: namely, faith, hope, and love. If we do not have these, we do not have Christ. Faith, Hope, and Love - These Three Remain. Love is greater than faith and hope because it endures forever. And love is greater because without it, acts of faith and hope are empty and fruitless. How many more facets may there be to this diamond of a Scripture? One last point: the word translated in the NIV as "remain" is the same word used Faith, hope, and love are the three gifts that will be ours throughout all eternity. And agape love is the ultimate gift. God in His goodness gives us the privilege of possessing these gifts today, and we look forward to having them remain with us forever. In sum, Michaels observes, "Hope in Hebrews is a faithful or persistent hope, and love is a faithful or enduring love. All three rely on the faithfulness of God." 35. The Apostle Paul employs the triad of faith, hope and love several times. These "theological virtues" are derived from St. Paul: "so faith, hope and love remain, these three: but the greatest of these is love (I Cor. 13:13). Along with what St. Ambrose calls the "cardinal" virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice/benevolence) these form the bedrock of virtues ethics. What does the Bible say about faith, hope, and love? 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) says, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." In context Paul lists faith, hope, and love as three primary gifts all Christians will always have. 1 Corinthians 12 to 14 are three chapters focusing mainly on spiritual gifts.
