1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV)
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Faith and hope are important in the Christians life. But, as Paul says, “but the greatest of these is love.
Faith focuses upon the revelation of God; love focuses on God Himself.
Hope focuses upon being with God for eternity; love is superior because it focuses upon God Himself.
Love, true love does not originate in man, but in the nature of God. God is love.
We know God through His Love
1 John 4:7–11
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
