Question Answer First Corinthians 12 talks about spiritual gifts, which are distributed by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 124. Thus one Christian may receive one type of gift while another receives a different gift. Chapter 13 goes one step further and mentions the three gifts that are common for all Christians faith, hope, and love. Verse 13 says, “And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” In stating that faith, hope, and love remain, Paul does something interesting and unexpected he uses a singular verb for a compound and therefore plural subject. His statement in 1 Corinthians 1313 could be literally rendered “faith, hope, and love remains.” Paul’s point is that, essentially, faith, hope, and love are united; what happens to one happens to all. And what happens is that they “remain.” The fact that faith, hope, and love remain must be understood in light of the broader context. Paul had just listed another set of three gifts that would not remain “Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away” 1 Corinthians 138. So, the passage contains a contrast three gifts of the Spirit that will cease, and three gifts that will never end. Faith, hope, and love will always remain. The Corinthian church members were priding themselves on the fact that they could speak in tongues and demonstrate other attention-getting gifts. Paul reminds them of “the most excellent way” 1 Corinthians 1231—the way of love. The gifts that the Corinthians so desired were but temporary; faith, hope, and love, the foundational gifts, are permanent and therefore more to be desired. Faith, hope, and love are gifts in the present age, and they will still be gifts in the age to come. The NLT translates the promise this way “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love.” It’s easy to see how love will last forever, since love is an essential part of God’s nature 1 John 416. But what about faith and hope? Those two gifts will likewise last forever. Faith in the Son of God will not cease in the eternal state; we will not stop trusting Jesus just because our faith has become sight. If anything, our trust in Him will grow greater. Similarly, our hope will not cease just because our blessed hope has come. Our lives will continue in the eternal state, as will our expectation of other things in an infinite sequence of adventure. As commentator Alexander MacLaren explained, “That Future presents itself to us as the continual communication of an inexhaustible God to our progressively capacious and capable spirits. In that continual communication there is continual progress. Wherever there is progress there must be hope. And thus the fair form . . . will move before us through all the long avenues of an endless progress, and will ever and anon come back to tell us of the unseen glories that lie beyond the next turn, and to woo us further into the depths of heaven and the fulness of God” MacLaren Expositions of Holy Scripture, 1 Corinthians. 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.

What happens when someone decides to say, “yes,” to God’s kind invitation to become His Romans 24? We trust He has been at work in the sinner’s heart because it is the Father Who draws men to the Lord Jesus John 644. Since God loves us, He sent Jesus to save us from our sins John 316, and we love Him with reason; we love [Him] because He first loved us 1 John 419. When a sinner is saved from spiritual death, faith, hope, and love are involved, with faith and hope being a simultaneous work in the sinner’s heart. At true conversion, a person makes a 180 degree turn from a willful, sinful life. This does not mean people will never sin that won’t happen until heaven, but it does mean they do their utmost to obey and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who now indwells and hope both involve trust. They both hinge on the trustworthiness of the person or object of an individual's core belief. When we drive a car, both are relevant; we have faith the car will transport us safely to our destination and we also hope no one crashes into us or us into them.At the moment of conversion, just about everything changes; we’re still here on earth, but our worldview and reason for living are new Acts 1728. It’s a hard road for us to get to the point of asking Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, but the moment of accepting Him is supernatural simplicity when the person praying is sincere. To pray to receive Jesus as Lord means acting in faith and with hope. We have faith He can save us, and we hope because of what He has done, is doing, and will do. The tandem nature of this is evident in Scripture Romans 52, Galatians 55, Colossians 121-23, 1 Peter 121.With God, our faith and hope are in the only One we can trust for eternal life. And due to His perfect, loving nature, we love Him as our hope and faith Thessalonians 12-4 emphasis added gives us a great summary of the relationship between faith, hope, and love. “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.” Faith involves work. It is never just faith; it is a noun that carries a verb that promotes its work keep, display, have. Love is an active verb. When we love someone, it is never passive; it always involves doing. When we consider the Father’s love, it manifested itself in the giving of Jesus John 316 and in adopting us as His children 1 John 31. Our patience of hope is built on Christ’s righteousness and promises Titus 211-14, 1 Peter 26. Hope is looking forward to and expecting something good. For the Christian, our hope is in God’s promises. Hope enables our faith and love to endure, and our faith in Christ drives us to obey His commands in love, which endures because of the hope He gives Is the Context of 1 Corinthians 13?The first letter to the Corinthian church has much to do with discipline within the body of believers, as Paul addresses conflicts in which they were involved. Corinth, located in the Roman province of Achaia, was infamous for its corruption. A number of the Corinthian believers were formerly involved in the local debauchery, and some were still embroiled in its wretched sin. They chose the worldliness of the culture over following the tenets of their new faith, and this caused divisions in the church. Paul addressed sexual sin, improper worship, spiritual gifts, and he highlighted the resurrection of Jesus chapter 15. As he made his case throughout the epistle, Paul, in chapter 12, expanded on the spiritual gifts and the necessary unity within the Christian body regarding the reception and use of the gifts. In Galatians 522-23, Paul speaks of the fruit of the Spirit, which those in the Corinthian church sorely needed love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. His argument to the Corinthians is Why have any spiritual gifts if they are exercised without love? Love is defined as the righteous and active pursuit of the well-being of another. Love is God’s highest value ethic, and He expects it to permeate the church. God provides believers with gifts for individual expressions of love which effectively edifies and seeks the spiritual well-being of the Does the Bible Say about Faith, Hope, and Love?The preeminent chapter which has the three together is 1 Corinthians 13. In this chapter, Paul continues his discourse from chapter 12, prioritizing the characteristics that should must govern every Christian’s life. One may have various gifts, but if he does not have love, his gifts are moot—meaningless and unproductive vv. 1-3. 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.” To have them stated concurrently brings a greater emphasis on how they are to work together. 1 Thessalonians 58 adds to that by telling us to put on the “breastplate of faith and love” and the hope of salvation is our Is Love the Greatest of These?God made an object lesson of faith, hope, and love when He told Abraham to sacrifice, “your son—your only son, Isaac, whom you love” Genesis 221-16. Abraham displayed his faith in God with his immediate, without question, obedience to the Lord. This is the first time the word “love” is used in the Bible, and it is a presage of God giving, “His one and only Son” John 316. We are further enlightened about Abraham’s faith and hope in Hebrews 1117-19, where the author says, Abraham concluded that “God was able to raise him [Isaac] up, even from the dead, from which he received him in a figurative sense.” Through it all, love overwhelmed each act of is mentioned 278 times in the ESV version of the Bible. Hope? 151 times. Love trumps them both, being mentioned and commanded at points 551 times in 505 is the driving force which caused Jesus to come and “put on flesh” for us and to testify to the truth” John 1837.Galatians 514 tells us all the law is fulfilled in love, just as Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our mind, and all our strength Deuteronomy 65, Mark 1230 and to love our neighbors as Bible tells us God is love 1 John 48, 16. It does not say God is faith. It also does not say God is hope. Faith and hope are a result of God’s love for us. Scripture does say, however, all our faith and hope may be found in Him, for only in Him and the atoning work of Jesus may we have faith 1 Peter 121, Ephesians 616.Why, then, is love the greatest of “these?”God has entrusted us with a divine faith in which we experience heavenly love, looking toward eternal hope in Christ Jesus.

Audio Transcript Faith and hope — we need them both. But what exactly is the difference between them? It’s a new question today, and it comes from Kelly in Chickamauga, Georgia. “Pastor John, I share your passion for the intentionality of words. I have a question about two words in Scripture — namely, faith and hope. First Peter 121 says that Christ’s work was so that your faith and hope are in God.’ My initial understanding was that faith is rooted in past grace — namely, the cross. But hope is rooted in future grace, specifically the revelation of Jesus 1 Peter 113. However, Hebrews 111 and 1 Peter 121 seem to define faith as something rooted in the future, while also distinguishing it from hope. So, Pastor John, can you help me understand the distinction then between faith and hope?” Well, I’m glad Kelly shares my enthusiasm for the intentionality of words because I really believe words are dumb things until a meaner gives them an intention. So, that’s a good way to ask the question, and there are few things I think about more than the nature of faith and hope and how they relate to each other in the Christian life. So this is right in my present wheelhouse. I love thinking about this. Here’s my understanding of the similarity and difference between biblical faith and biblical hope — and that’s really important to say biblical because the world has all kinds of meanings that they give to faith and hope. And I just want to ask, “What does the Bible mean by saving faith and hope?” Hope Future Confidence Hope, as it is used in the Bible for the distinctive experience of Christian hope, is always a confidence concerning the future. It’s a confidence, not a finger-crossing wish. So that separates the Christian hope from most other uses of hope in the English language. Romans 55 says, “Hope does not put us to shame.” It is rock-solid, sure. You can be confident. That’s Christian hope, and it’s always future-oriented. A key text would be Romans 824–25 “In this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” When we say that hope does not see what it hopes for, the reason it doesn’t see it is because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s future. “We wait for it with patience.” So that’s the distinctive mark of hope it is always future-oriented and consists in a firm confidence of what we are hoping for — not just a wish. Faith Personal, Treasuring Trust Now faith, on the other hand, is the bigger concept. It includes everything that we say biblically about hope, but it is more. Now that probably is going to surprise a lot of people. It’s a risky statement — that everything we can say about hope is in faith, but that it’s more. But I think that’s a true statement. I think it’s fair to say that biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense. If you are focusing on faith as a faith that something will happen in the future, it is virtually the same as biblical hope. But faith involves more than confidence that something that God has promised will happen in the future. It is that; that’s why I say hope is in faith — it’s part of what faith is. But it’s more. “Biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense.” The main distinction between Christian faith and Christian hope is that faith is in a substantial way a trusting relationship with a person. Faith says to Christ, “I trust you, not just your promises. You are a reliable person. You are a trustworthy person.” Now, that trust may often be future-oriented. We may mean in that moment, “I trust you to keep your word about this afternoon, taking care of me.” That’s faith, and it’s hope. But in a specific moment, that trust doesn’t have to mean something future-oriented. It might mean that Christ has just said, “I died for you two thousand years ago. I bore your sins, John Piper, two thousand years ago. I absorbed my Father’s wrath for you two thousand years ago.” And I, listening to that, look him in the eye and say, “I believe you. I believe you. I trust you” — meaning, “What you have just said about the past I believe.” Hope doesn’t say that. Of course, that has massive implications for future life, right? But faith isn’t only future-oriented; it is person-oriented in a significant way. And the mark of the relationship with the person is trust — a receiving, treasuring trust. But beyond this distinction, the Bible presents hope in God and faith in God in ways that are scarcely distinguishable. Tasting Coming Joy For example, when Psalm 42 says, “Hope in God,” I have leaned on this in my discouragement so many times. “Hope in God, John Piper. You shall again praise him, your help and your God.” That act — what the psalm is calling me to do — of hoping in God in the midst of my trouble is hardly distinguishable from trusting God. Hope in that psalm is, I would argue, virtually identical to faith in God as it relates to the future. Now, Hebrews 111 is the place where we see this interweaving of faith and hope as close as they get, perhaps. It says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.” And, yes, I do think substance rather than assurance is the most helpful, accurate translation. That would require another podcast to give a reason for why that is and how the word hypostasis is used elsewhere in Hebrews. That’s another issue, but just go with it for now. I think that’s the right translation. Here’s what I think it means. It speaks “of things hoped for.” In other words, there’s a reality in the future that God has promised and, in some measure, has revealed to us as precious — worth living for, worth dying for. And we are hoping to obtain it. That is, we have strong confidence that God will grant us this great blessing of experiencing fully what we are now hoping for in the future. “Faith is the experience of the substance of future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now.” Now, Hebrews 111 says that the substance of that future thing hoped for — that future reward or blessing — some substantial, essential element of it is experienced now in what he calls faith. Faith is the experience of the substance of that future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now. Let me illustrate that with Hebrews 122. The writer says, “Jesus . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame.” So God has assured Jesus that on the other side of the cross, on the other side of suffering and death, there would be a great joy to inherit. He could see it just over the horizon, and he hoped for it. And in that sense, it was one of those things hoped for from Hebrews 111. I would argue that in the garden of Gethsemane, and even on the cross, Jesus was sustained — he endured — by tasting already the substance of that thing hoped for. He tasted something of that future joy that was set before him. And Hebrews 111 calls that experience faith. So, I would say in Hebrews 111 it is virtually impossible to completely distinguish faith and hope. The one is part of the other. Faith and Hope Forever Let’s look at one last text to show how close faith and hope are in the New Testament. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 56–7, “We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.” So one dimension or element of faith is that it embraces as real things you can’t see — like the risen Lord Jesus. And Paul says, “We are away from the Lord. He’s in heaven; we’re on earth. We can’t see him. But though we can’t see him, we love him. We trust him.” We walk by faith, not sight. But that does not mean that when we do see him face-to-face at the second coming, we won’t walk by faith anymore. Only one dimension of faith is replaced by sight. Not every dimension of faith is replaced by sight. We will still trust him in heaven. We will still feed on him as the living bread in heaven. And the same can be said of hope. We walked by hope and not by sight. And yet, when sight is finally gained, not all hope will disappear. Heaven will forever be a place of faith and a place of hope because there will always be a future in heaven, a future to hope for, and there will always be Christ to trust. He will always be the feast of our hearts. In summary, then, hope is faith in the future tense. And everything that can be said about hope biblically can be said of faith. But faith is more than hope because it involves trust in a person, which may have a backward dimension as well as a forward dimension.

What have Christians been known for in 2021? What has marked the church? Jesus has commissioned his followers to represent him in this world. When nonbelievers look at our lives, we want them to see people distinguished by Christlike character. When they look at churches, we want them to see outposts of God’s heavenly kingdom, early installments of the new creation. And in particular, whether they look at individual Christians or churches, we want them to notice three dominant graces faith, hope, and most of all, love. The gospel creates people who are filled with faith in Christ, captivated by the hope of eternal life, and overflowing in love for God and neighbor. In fact, at least nine passages — scattered throughout the letters of Paul, Peter, and Hebrews — mention this trio of Christian graces 1 Corinthians 1313; Galatians 55–6; Ephesians 42–5; Colossians 14–5; 1 Thessalonians 13; 58; Hebrews 610–12; 1022–24; 1 Peter 121–22. If you could travel back in time and ask New Testament believers how they live the Christian life, I expect that you would hear the same answer again and again we aim to abound in faith, hope, and love. Greatest of These First Corinthians 1313 is the most well-known passage that highlights this trio. Paul tells us, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” His claim raises an important question Why is love “the greatest” of these graces? After all, we are saved by grace through faith Ephesians 28, and we continue to grow as believers through faith in Christ and his promises. Likewise, as we look forward to Christ’s return with eager anticipation, hope fills us with joy and empowers us to persevere through suffering Romans 1212. Yet Paul tells us that love holds the highest place in this holy triad. So why is love the greatest? Let’s answer that question by approaching 1 Corinthians 1313 in three contexts. We’ll begin with the larger context of Paul’s letters, then focus more closely on this section of 1 Corinthians chapters 12–14, and finally zero in on the immediate context in 1 Corinthians 138–13. As we do so, my hope is that our hearts will be stirred up to love one another, so that our homes, our churches, and our neighborhoods would be saturated with love that spreads the fame of Christ. Faith and Hope Produce Love Several passages in Paul’s letters show us that both faith and hope produce love. We can see this connection between faith and love in Galatians 56 “In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” Though we are justified by faith alone, the kind of faith that justifies never remains alone; it always works through love for others. God does not save us in order that we might remain indifferent to the needs of those around us. Rather, as the Holy Spirit begets faith in our hearts, he intends for that faith to produce countless deeds of love. Similarly, the hope that is ours in Christ leads us to love one another. In Colossians 14–5, Paul tells the Colossian believers about his gratitude for them, “since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven.” The Colossian Christians loved their fellow believers, Paul says, because they knew they had a glorious hope awaiting them in heaven. They knew they would spend eternity in the presence of Christ, and this hope freed them to give of their time, their possessions, and perhaps even their lives to serve their fellow believers. Faith and hope are, in one sense, means to an even greater end, without which they would be incomplete they transform us so that our lives overflow with Christlike love. Love Builds Up the Church Now we’ll narrow our focus to the section of 1 Corinthians in which Paul says that “the greatest of these is love.” In 1 Corinthians 12–14, Paul is teaching the church about spiritual gifts. As he sorts through issues such as the variety of gifts in the church and the use of what we might call “miraculous gifts,” his great concern is for everything to be done for the building up of the church. When Christ’s people meet together for worship, everyone may bring something to contribute with this goal in mind “Let all things be done for building up” 1 Corinthians 1426. “What makes the difference between fruitless religious activity and church-strengthening service? Love.” When Christians worship God together, it’s possible for them to exercise their spiritual gifts in ways that do not build up the rest of the body. God has no desire for the church to be filled with exciting manifestations that glorify those with the gifts but fail to edify the church. And what makes the difference between fruitless religious activity and church-strengthening service? Love. Earlier in the letter, Paul wrote that “love builds up” 1 Corinthians 81. In the context of 1 Corinthians 12–14, Paul’s famous words about love in chapter 13 reveal that love is what makes the difference between Christians whose gifts build up the body and those who are just “a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal” 1 Corinthians 131. Because Jesus loves his church with a love “that surpasses knowledge” Ephesians 319, he desires for the members of his body to build up one another — and in order to do that, we need not only faith, and not only hope, but love. Love Will Be Greatest for Eternity A third reason why love holds the highest place in the trio of Christian graces is found in the second half of 1 Corinthians 13. In verses 8–13, Paul says that spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and knowledge are temporary provisions for the present age. In contrast, when he writes in verse 13 that “faith, hope, and love abide, these three,” he shows us that these graces are superior to the gifts because they will endure forever. In the new creation, we will continue to have faith in God and his promises, and we will continue to look forward to the future with hope. But most of all, the life of the new creation will be characterized by love, flowing through us from the God who is love 1 John 416. “As followers of Jesus, we rejoice in the hope of spending eternity in a world saturated with pure love.” In 1738, Jonathan Edwards preached a sermon entitled “Heaven Is a World of Love.” He pointed out that since heaven is God’s dwelling place, “this renders heaven a world of love; for God is the fountain of love, as the sun is the fountain of light. And therefore the glorious presence of God in heaven fills heaven with love, as the sun placed in the midst of the hemisphere in a clear day fills the world with light” Works, 8369. Furthermore, “love reigns in every heart” in heaven, as the saints abound in love for God and for one another 8373. As followers of Jesus, we rejoice in the hope of spending eternity in a world saturated with pure love. And as our lives are filled increasingly with love here, we reflect the new creation in the present, and our churches fulfill their callings as outposts of the kingdom of heaven. Our lives and our churches spread the sweet aroma of heaven as we love God and one another, for “faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
