Faith, Hope, and Love

by Samir, posted in BLOG

These three virtues are central to believer’s [Christ Follower] life and theology, often mentioned together in the New Testament, especially in 1 Corinthians 13:13:

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

1. Faith

  • Definition: Trust and confidence in God and His promises.
  • Key Verse: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1
  • Role: Faith connects believers to God. It’s through faith that we receive salvation (Ephesians 2:8–9) and live in obedience to Him.

2. Hope

  • Definition: Confident expectation in God’s future promises, especially eternal life.
  • Key Verse: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” – Hebrews 6:19
  • Role: Hope sustains believers through trials and helps them persevere, trusting in God’s goodness and future restoration.

3. Love (Agape)

  • Definition: Selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love that reflects God’s nature.
  • Key Verse: “Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
  • Role: Love is the highest virtue. It fulfills God’s law (Romans 13:10) and is the mark of true discipleship (John 13:35).

In Summary:

  • Faith believes,
  • Hope anticipates,
  • Love acts.

[YTM] 42.0 The Judgment

Every human being will one day experience the power of God in resurrection. Just as surely as death is unavoidable, resurrection and judgment are also certain.

[YTM] 41.0 How People Can Be Born During the Millennium Reign

Scripture teaches that children will indeed be born during the Millennium, the 1,000-year reign of Yeshua the Messiah on earth. This is possible because the people who enter the Millennial Kingdom will be a mixed group in terms of their bodies: some will possess resurrected, glorified bodies, and others will remain in natural, mortal bodies.…
